I bought a book that shows how to do a rug like that. Was it hard to do?
It is one of those things on my long list of projects. I have to get some fabric to do it and am not able to find it at Walmart or Ben Franklin. So I have to make a trip to the cities. But I bought the cutter, do I need a brush or anything?

Hi Maggiebooboo, To answer you questions, no it was not hard to do and donīt go buying any fancy cutters to do it either, because we cut ours with ordinary scissors.
You donīt have to brush it, the secret is you have to wash it and then stick it in the drier and it fluffs up really nicely.
:D :D Elle

Iīm thinking I could make some for Christmas pressies, think they would make a really nice gift and although I put on handles(from an old bag) you can make the chenille handles from your fabric so it wonīt cost extra.
