There are several techniques for the manufacture of "flooring" of old pantyhose. Therefore, each needlewoman chooses the technique that turns out better or just more like it.
Kapron tights are perfect for handmade mats that are easy to wash and dry quickly.
To work you need to prepare:
It will fit perfectly in the country style, so it will serve faithfully in the bathroom, on the cottage veranda.
Cut off the upper part and the lower part (socks) from old pantyhose, so that only the “legs” remain. We fold them in half (or four times as much) and cut them into fragments 3–5 cm wide. Stretch the “rings” slightly to make them twist and resemble a tube.
You can also use it as a doormat rug.
Now we get to work. Taking the ring, we wrap 4 fingers of his hand with "eights". We put the next ring on the fingers in the same way, and remove the loops from the first ringlet and transfer it to the back of the hand. With all the subsequent rings do the same. As new rings are attached, a web will form.
We will tell how to make a rug from old things with our own hands.
Another option is to weave a chain of rings. The first ring is folded in half and put on only two fingers with the “eight”. We place the next double ring on top and remove the lower “loops” on the back side of the palm. And so on. This technique resembles the weaving technique with elastic bands. The result is a harness.
Before you start work, be sure to wash things.
The twist is twisted in a spiral, fixing it with tailors' pins, and then we sew it with a strong thread.
The finished rug will look aesthetically pleasing.
The carpet is ready! If you use tights of different colors, you get very interesting models.
On one knitted rug takes about 10 pieces of pantyhose.
Another model rug, made without a hook. To make a rug from kapron braids with your own hands (by the way, not only adults, but also children's tights) should be cut not across, but along, so that the blanks are as long as possible. Cutting enough, fasten the edge and begin to weave the usual pigtails of three "strands".
Before you begin needlework, you need to make threads from nylon scrap.
Using different hooks and holders (stationery or for curtains), the process is very enjoyable and exciting.
If desired, braids are made from a different number of strands.
You can alternate the threads in color, so you get a color pattern.
After the braids are ready, they are joined. There are several options. First, twisting the braid in a spiral, it is fixed with glue. Secondly, fasten with the help of machine or manual seam.
At the end of the work hide the working end of the thread and from the inside out fasten it with a thread.
And you can weave a round rug on the hoop.
It is easy to learn and another way of weaving - on the hoop.
This will require:
This way you can weave a rug not only on the hoop, but also on a square or rectangular shape, for example, a picture frame.
Vertical threads are attached to a special hoop first. Their number is arbitrary. The more of them, the more dense the product will turn out. Then skip the horizontal threads through the vertical up and down, weaving the base. In each row we fix the beginning of work and the end. Having reached the hoop, we remove the work, and sew the last row, fastening the working thread.
You can twist the threads on the principle of cobwebs.
This technique is relevant not only for the hoop, but also for rectangular frames.
Socks, t-shirts, pieces of fabric or knitting yarn are also used for knitting. The more different the texture of the "yarn", the more interesting will be the canvas. Perhaps it will not be a rug, but a handmade painting.
Be sure to alternate colors to work gained depth.
The rug in the weaving technique resembles a woven fabric. And when using multi-colored segments looks very stylish.
You can vary the color scheme, if you pre-paint body tights dyes for fabrics.
"Yarn" for this product is prepared as follows: nylon "leg" is cut along the strips. Another option is to cut in a spiral.
The width of the "thread" should be 2 - 3 cm.
Begin to knit. 5 air loops closes the ring. We continue to knit with single crochets, gradually increasing the number of loops so that the mat lies flat.
In the course of knitting, add 1-2 loops.
If there is a "yarn" of different colors, it is better to attach it, alternating. You can do this without nodes. Just when one thread is finished, gently place a second thread under the edge of the first thread and continue working.
You can alternate the threads in color, so you get a color pattern.
Sizes and colors are determined based on your personal wishes.
At the end of the work hide the working end of the thread and from the inside out fasten it with a thread.
“Threads” for an oval rug with a crochet are prepared in the same way as for a round one - the longer the thread, the better. And you can tie it according to any scheme for an oval canvas.
Add loops not only during the mating, but also at the edges of the first row.
For example, concisely, but very interesting looks rug from tights under this scheme. If you do not want to knit "lush columns" and air loops, you can link the entire canvas with single crochets.
For convenience, use markers or pins for knitting, they will help you not to get lost in the increase in the number of loops.
It should be noted that using multi-colored "yarn", you can not worry about the figure, the thing and so it will look interesting.
Do not overtighten when working, otherwise the rugs will be too thick and hard.
In order for a creative and functional element to appear in the house, do not rush to get rid of unnecessary things.
The rug from kapron tights will decorate a hall or a bath. And thanks to fantasy and some skills, exclusive hand-made canvases are obtained.
