So, how did I do it? It was pretty easy in the long run... the steps are simple and very repetitive!
I bought a Latch Hook Canvas at Hobby Lobby and trimmed it down the size I wanted. I did not measure... just eye balled it!
I followed the directions from THIS blog.... with a few alternations. My fabric strips are1/2 inch by 4 inches and there are a lot of them! The blue is about 2/3 of a full size fitted sheets and the white is a queen size sheet (and a little more). I used sheets because it is a huge amount of fabric for a reasonable price. They are WalMart sheets.
Latch hooking is pretty simple. I used a You Tube tutorial to remind myself. I latch hooked in elementary school and it did come right back to me.
The biggest investment in this project was time. It took me a lot of hours.... my Craft Rescue Hero estimates 48-50 hours! However, I would definitely do this again! Perhaps next time in bright colors for a floor rug. It makes a huge price difference if you are making a large rug... maybe not for a bath mat! However it does feel just fabulous on my toes out of the shower!
From Zero:
To FINISHED! Try it out! Let me know how it works for you! I would love to hear your feedback... drop any questions or comments below!
Thank you for hopping over to The Quick Journey. My mom used to do latch hook all the time. They are so soft on your feet. :) Great Job!!!
