Let's do some artsie stuff, shall we?

My boyfriend and i are about to move into a new apartment, and i'd love to have some cute area rugs to accent it. However, we are on a pretty tight budget, so a lot of our decorating will have to be creatively done. I saw this tv show where they cut up old clothes and stuff, braided and wove it all together, and made a super-cute rug! So, i'm going to try it for myself :'3 I'll be sure to post pictures of my progress.

What about you guys? Post your crafty sort of ideas here, and share ;'3
