Make Rug From Climbing Rope

In this tutorial we used a two tone climbing rope.

Make rug from climbing rope.

The project came from here originally. To finish the rug use your fabric strip to wrap your end of the rope similar to how you wrapped the rope at the beginning of the rug just make sure the end of the rope is covered and sew down the middle to secure. In addition to the printed pattern you ll need a a couple 20 meter sections of climbing rope a piece of wood some nails and something to cut the rope and treat the ends so that they don t fray. The only supplies you need to craft this outdoor inspired decoration is a climbing rope and a lighter.

By hand expect to spend several days at 2 3hr per day. Continue to twist the rope around until you get a large circle of rope. I mean why not make old climbing gear into new climbing gear. Old climbing rope chalk bags.

You ll also find there a list of the materials and tools you ll need to make the rug mat. Using the zigzag stitch tuck the end of the rope under your rug so it disappears from sight and sew over it to secure. Sewn rugs are much more durable than the tape and glue variety. To start out the rug make sure your on a flat slightly slippery surface such as a wood or tile floor.

Climbing rope rugs are popular pieces of decor for climbers and non climbers alike. Take one end of the rope and twist it in a circle as tight as you can as seen in the picture below. Rugs can also be sewn the resulting rugs are larger a circle has roughly a 35 diameter for a 60m rope and flat. This project is similar to this instructable but this project has a different approach.
