Welcome from Texas. I used to watch my DMIL do those. All I remember is her having a long rope of braided fabric's that she would wind together and and stitch together as she wrapped it. She used a heavy thread that was stronger than we use for sewing. She would start shaping from the center round , oval or which shape she wanted and worked from there. It looked very simple to do. Good luck with it.

Welcome from Ft. Myers, FL. I have a braided rug "kit". It has a metal type tool and I have rolls of 2" wide wool fabric (I think). I will check it out tomorrow and see if it has instructions (I think it does). I never used it, got it a ayard sale many years ago Way up in closet. I will PM you and let you know. June

I made braided throw rugs for my kitchen and bathroom once when we had a power outage for a week. I cut strips out of old T-shirts, braided them and sewed them into coils by hand with dental floss. I don't know if I did it right but they lasted for years. It's amazing what we can do when we are bored and can't use our sewing machines.
