So how do you make these? Anyone have a favorite pattern link or simple instructions you'd care to share? What do you use? Old clothes strips or fabric strips? Any other advice for me? I am thinking I'd like to make the rectangular type, not round.

I need some great tips on getting rid of wrinkles in a rug. I bought a runner for the hall. It has a latex backing. The rug had been very tightly rolled up, and it simply will not lose the wrinkles when I lay it out straight. Here's what I have tried: 1. I put it in the washer and drier (no...

I'm such a klutz. I just had 1 can of beer and dropped it. Then stupidly, I picked up the wrong end of the can and spilled about 1/4 cup of the beer. I blotted it with a towel but will it make the rug smell? The embarrassing part, it happened at someone else's house. I told her that I had...
