DIY Old Bath Towel Rug

Fold the towels in half and start cutting one-inch strips. Marianne cuts about 13 strips to make a medium-size rug.
Take a strip in each color and sew the three ends together.
Start braiding the three strips. Fold the ends underneath so the raw edges don’t show.
Connect and sew three more strips onto those strips and continue braiding until you have one long braid.
Sew the rug together as you shape and coil it. You’ll see the circular rug begin to take shape.
Sew the ends together.
