hi today i'm going to show you how to
0:02
make some yarn from your fabric scraps
0:04
no matter how small those bits of fabric
0:06
you can make use of them
0:08
so this fabric the yarn that you're
0:10
going to make is going to be absolutely
0:12
amazing for you to produce some great
0:14
mixed media projects perhaps some rugs
0:17
some bags really is however creative you
0:21
so i'm christine from
0:23
christinescrust.com this channel is all
0:25
about crafting on a budget
0:26
so this is ideal where you're going to
0:28
use up all those scraps of fabric
0:31
so all you need is some fabric now
0:33
you'll see i've got a piece here
0:35
it's not really big enough to make
0:36
anything you'll see i haven't even
0:39
i'm just going to use it to make some
0:43
so decide how wide you would like your
0:46
it really is up to you and i would
0:48
experiment with this and see what suits
0:50
for the project you're doing
0:52
and just cut whatever you've got into
0:55
now all i'm going to do today is cut two
0:57
strips of this blue fabric
0:59
and join them together i could carry on
1:02
and make a really long length using this
1:03
bit of fabric that i've got
1:05
or if you like you could add different
1:09
so that's why i say no matter how small
1:10
your scraps you can still join them
1:13
together and make something
1:15
it really is a very creative way of
1:18
because once you have your yarn you can
1:20
use it for knitting crocheting
1:23
rag rugs whatever you fancy with it so
1:26
just get your strips and make sure
1:28
they're about the same width
1:30
whatever width you've chosen you want
1:32
them to be approximately the same all
1:35
you don't have to measure it you can see
1:36
i'm just doing it by eye
1:38
but it just makes for a neater finish
1:42
so once you've got your strips you want
1:46
just take one strip and at one end
1:50
just fold it over about three quarters
1:55
and snip the ends so that you make a
2:01
and then do the same for one end
2:04
of the other strip where you're going to
2:09
another little snip and you'll see
2:12
that i've now got two strips and at one
2:16
i've got a hole so put them together
2:20
take one strip and feed it through the
2:24
in the other strip and just pull it a
2:27
little way through so you can see that
2:31
now the strip that you fed through is
2:33
the one that you are now going to bring
2:37
and feed through the hole in itself
2:40
so you're making a loop
2:43
and then all you do is pull that through
2:47
keep pulling until it pulls tight
2:51
and you've effectively knotted your two
2:56
if you don't like the little length that
2:59
then you can always trim it down so you
3:01
just keep going adding lengths on until
3:03
you've got the length of yarn you want
3:05
and then ball it up so just keep going
3:10
and keep creating you just put another
3:14
snip in the other end
3:15
and carry on so i hope you've enjoyed
