Log Cabin: Braided Rugs

Those hardwood floors in my miniature dollhouse cabin seemed rather cold and stark.  I decided that I needed some braided rugs.  I had the perfect solution to procuring them too!

I gathered my supplies:

Wax paper
Glue
Yarn (I used the cotton candy yarn that many crafters use for making wash clothes and dishrags....it's less fuzzy and thus would be perfect for a dollhouse)

I laid wax paper out on my work area and then spread my craft glue in a circle.   Starting at roughly the center, I curled up the yarn and started to wind it around in a circle on the glue. I simply made sure that each round of yarn was pressed tightly to the proceeding round.  I went around until I reached the desired size.

And the finished project!!!!
