Spring will soon be here and with that comes wetter weather. The snow and ice melts and rain rolls in to give us all of the lovely spring plants to enjoy. This can create quite a mess in the house if you don’t have a proper spot to stick your muddy shoes. Rugs are a great thing to have near the door to drop your shoes and making them out of recycled materials makes them even better. Here are five rugs that you can make to help keep your home clean during the wet and muddy months ahead.
