Here's the picture of the Toothbrush rug (36 "x 22") I finished last night. It is so easy and fast to do. Entire rug could be made in 1-2 evenings.
It uses a tool that can be made out an old toothbrush with a hole in the top - thus the name.
The pattern is from http://www.auntphillys.com/
but there are several free sites available too:

Here's the tool used.
It's about 4" long - if you use a toothbrush you cut brush part off and shave cut to a point

She will try any box on for size. Spends hours turning and scrunching, forcing body parts when they don't belong.

Thanks for the link - cool. Had me wondering too....Me thinks...Uh Oh...am I uncivilised...I don't have a rug for my toothbrush! Must be all the mug-rugs I've been looking at recently!

Julianna 11-09-2010 08:05 PM

I remember making these in 4-H as a child. Still have my first small one. I used it in my doll house, then as a chair cushion, then my daughter used it and now its on her rocker for my granddaughter.
