Make a rug - PEP BB textile.iron.housewares.rug

This badge bit (BB) is part of the PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the iron badge in textiles.

In this project, you will make a rug starting with raw fiber grown/raised by you. You must show a good choice of materials and methods that are appropriate for the goal.

Minimum requirements:
- Plant the seed: either animal feed seed or a fiber seed like cotton or flax
- Harvest the plant or animal material that came from those seeds
- Process that material into yarn and fabric
- Must start with raw fiber plant or animal fiber (no fur, hide, or skin)
- Construction technique must be appropriate for the project
- Must be at least 24 square feet total
- You choose the dimensions and up to three rugs are acceptable

To document completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics or video (< 4 min):
- The seeds you are planting
- The plants growing or animals eating the plants
- Harvesting the plant or animal material
- Processing the material into yarn/thread
- Making the yarn/thread
- Making the fabric  
- Making the towels and washcloth
- Your completed towels and dishcloths (perhaps with a tape measure)
 
The following resources will give you some ideas and how-tos. Just remember that to meet the requirements of this BB, all materials used in your rug must be natural plant fiber.
