T-Shirt Rag Rug

Getting ready for a workshop this Saturday. We are using old t-shirts and hula hoops to make rag rugs. Found the idea at http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/hula-hoop-rug-995304/.

So far I have learned that at least a large t-shirt is needed for the spokes (medium was not stretchy enough for the hula hoops we have.) Cutting the stripes a little wider would make it better. The middle is a bit bulky since all the spokes meet in the middle. If the stripes were cut a little wider they would be thicker and you wouldn't notice the bulk in the middle as much.

Below is a picture of the rug about half way through. I am looking forward to working with they youth and to see what they come up with as far as design.
