DIY Towel Rug

DIY Towel Rug!
Materials:
-Start with a non-skid rug pad-  I got mine at Gabriel Brothers for $.50.  
-Scissors
-Two old bath towels of same or complimenting colors.


Start by cutting the mat to the size you prefer.  Then using a scissors, make slits around the outside- make sure to leave 1/4" of mat around the edge.  Cut the towels into strips- approximately 1/2-1" wide by 6" long.  You are ready to start tying towels.  After the outside was full, I went row by row making slits and tying in the towels.  It is really a trial and error project and doesn't call for exact science.  It was fun, a little time consuming, but had GREAT results.  I am very happy that I have a brand new bath mat for only $.50 and I got rid of two old towels!!
