Hello everyone,
Hope we all are good? I have a handcraft I would love to share with us today. I had a piece of unused towel which I turned into rags to wipe the foot at home. But I became tired of it and even the colour so I used it to produce this Footmat you are seeing here. Actually this is my first time making this.
WHAT YOU NEED
THE MAKING
You need to first have an idea of the kind of design or pattern you would love to make. In my case, this is the design I opted for.
I used the pen to make drawing of what I want to design. I drew lines joining them to form about 16squares.
I put on the hot glue gun by plugging it to an electric source of light. Once it's heated up, I untangle the wool and wrap it around the ruler in a spiral form. Just about the height of each square box.
I apply the glue from the hot glue gun to the wool at just one side of the ruler.
Then I placed this on the square box and I used scissors to cut the wool, separating it from the ruler.
The wool will stick to the material. I repeat this process until every square box is filled up. Make sure each placement is close to the next.
I actually lined the edges of the material first with black wool. But this is not compulsory.
So that's how I made this beautiful Footmat. You can try it too. It's not expensive to make.
Handcraft is really fun and I enjoyed every bit of this.
I'm thankful there's a community like this where skills can be shared.
Thank you for reading.
