hobby—rug making
A good
Have you been hanging
on to old pieces of carpet
that you don’t know what to
do with? Or, do you have
bare attic or basement floors
you'd like to carpet but can’t
afford? You can save money
and start a hobby at the
same time by making your
own rugs. Several local
residents have discovered
the value of carpeting their
homes with 3 basic mater-
ials: carpet strips, burlap
and cement. Old strips of

carpet may be used, or, in
some cases, new strips may
be bought from carpet
dealers. Strips are measur-
ed, cut, and pieced together
much like a jigsaw puzzle,
and are then cemented to a
burlap base. The carpet
strips may be cut large,
small, or in different pat-
terns. Various colors and
shades of carpet strips can
be used to create original
designs and color schemes.

There is no limit in the size
of the finished carpet. It has
been estimated that a carpet
made from strips can be
made at a fraction of the cost
of buying a new one. And
the possibilities for creative-
ness are endless. Carpeting
also has tremendous insula-
ting value, especially in
attics and basements. Final-
ly, carpet-making is just
plain fun.
Mulching
grass
Homeowners with lawns
may benefit from this lawn
care tip:
Mulching a yard is better
than throwning away the
clippings. This can only be
done with a mulching
mower instead of a regular
lawn mower. The mulching
mower cuts the clippings
much finer than a lawn
mower. In §S days, the
clippings decompose and
the nitogen is replaced in
the soil. This saves time-
consuming raking and bag-
ging, and cuts down on the
use of fertilizers by replac-
ing some of the nutrients in
the soil.
