I make the strips about 1" wide, then sort the colors-light, medium, dark-then with each pile I sew the strips together similar to the way one does border corners on a quilt. Once sewn I roll them into a ball. With one end of each ball I sew them together side by side, each strip folded with raw edges in and clamp to plant hanger hook and start braiding. Once its all braided then I lay it on the floor and, using carpet thread I sew to form an oval or circular rug. I make braided rugs with old bluejean strips.
