Question: How to make an 'easy' denim rug
#1
I would like to make a rug from leftover denim... and I dont' want to spend much $ - can I make a front & back of denim strips/squares, sew together and add some binding and then put "something" on the back to make it so it won't slide around on my tile?

i wonder if an old bathtub mat might work here. I have a small scatter rug that my cats love to run and slide on. I've tried two kids of antiskid mats but they don't work well. I'll have to try the bathtub mat myself, it's about the right size to be hidden under the rug. Of course it can't be sewn on it but might stop it from sliding.

I've found the rubbery/grippy carpet (don't know the word...pads? liners?) just at Walmart. I have them under throw rugs so they will not slide around. It's very similar to the shelf liner by feel, so the shelf liner may work just fine!
