How to make a rope rug

Today, I will be showing you how to make a rug by re-using old rope.

What you need:
-Rope
-Fire (Lighter,candle,etc...)
-Glue
-Cardboard

Step 1: Spinning the rope

To start out the rug, make sure your on a flat, slightly slippery surface such as a wood or tile floor. Take one end of the rope and twist it in a circle as tight as you can, as seen in the picture below. Continue to twist the rope around until you get a large circle of rope. If you do not have a long enough rope you can get another rope and fuse the ends together by burning the two ends together. Once you have a complete circle take the end of the rope on the outside of the circle and burn it together, just like the picture.

Really cool project! Another neat way to make it would be to stitch it together, so it could be used as a bath rug/outdoor welcome mat

Cool rug, I like the colour of rope you used.

Nice - is it comfortable to walk on?

If the rope is old and frayed its really nice, but its pretty soft and not as bumpy as one would think.
