DIY: Learn how to turn bath towels into an area rug

I filmed this video back in 2006 for HGTV and it's recently been found on littlethings.com.  It's a pretty cool craft! You need 3 towels, old or new to make a small-medium bathroom area rug.

Here are the step-by-step instructions:

• Fold the towels in half and cut into one-inch strips. You'll need about 13 strips to make a medium-size rug.
• Now take a strip in each color and sew the three ends together.
• Start braiding the three strips folding the ends underneath so the raw edges don’t show.
• Connect and sew three more strips onto those strips and continue braiding until you have one long braid.
• Sew the rug together as you shape and coil it. You’ll see the circular rug begin to take shape.
• Sew the ends together.
