Sewing tutorial: Upcycled t-shirt braided rug

Turn old t-shirts into a pretty braided rug! Staci from Crafty Staci shows how she created this braided rug from 6 old t-shirts. I’m pretty sure we all have at least 6 old t-shirts hanging around the house. Why not cut them up and turn them into something useful and attractive for your home? You can do the braiding anywhere, which is the perfect kind of project for summer. She did all the braiding while on a road trip and then finished up on the sewing machine when she got back home.
