Starting a toothbrush rug from a tight braid

[plum3patch]

great video! But, WHAT COLOR is your nail polish?

[Tourtruco]

Thank you... but since all my gothy gear is packed away, I don't know. My wife and I usually shop at Ulta, and I usually go with blood reds, deep purples, or blacks- the usual Goth range of hues, *grin* (See also response to comment below.)

Wow you have fantastic nails, mine are terrible :(

Great tutorial by the way!

thanks - great video for a beginner! now - off to your website!

[Tourtruco]

You're welcome- I love this craft, and I love teaching it.

A later video- starting a rug from a half hitch, is an even easier method for a beginner.

I saw that one first but didn't strike home until I saw this one. Couldn't quite figure out where you were going with the half hitch.. why it was "easy". Makes sense now. (scurries away to find hubbies old t-shirts to practice with)

I'm just going to answer over on the rug blog, Youtube has a 500 character limit.

Thanks for sharing! Just doing some research to see whether this is a craft that I might try to tackle.
