Even such homely stuff as the coarse material of a coffee bag, or coarse sacking of any description, may be made into an attractive rug in the manner here described:

Cut the stuff to the shape required. Then, having prepared strips of woolen material half an inch wide, darn them with a coarse needle in and out through the sacking, leaving between each strip loops an inch in height. The colors of the wool may be diversified according to taste. For instance, there may be a black border, with a centre of a single shade, or of a variety of bright colors.

After the work is ended, the whole surface may be clipped evenly. A very tasty rug can be made in this simple and easy manner.
