Ragged Life ‘Rag-A-Monster kit

Description

Rag-a-Monster Rag Rug Kids Kits are perfect for kids aged 7-12 to learn how to rag rug for the very first time, while getting hands-on fun.

Our Ragged Life “Rag Rug Kids Kit” includes all the tools and materials to make one cute or scary Rag-a-Monster, but once you’ve got the tools there’s no reason why they can’t move on to more projects.

The kit includes:

• A Children’s Latch Hook – This latch hook has been specifically designed for smaller hands and makes shaggy rag rugging much easier than with a full sized latch hook.
• Hemmed Rag-a-Monster Hessian – Our hessian is the perfect weave for use with the children’s latch hook and is pre-hemmed so that it doesn’t fall apart. This means that the kids can get rag rugging straight away.
• Pre-cut Recycled Multi-Coloured Fabric Strips – All the fabric for the Rag-a-Monster is pre-cut into the correct size pieces so the kids can get stuck into the rag rugging straight away without having to do lots of prep (bet some of you adults wish I would do that for the adult kits!)
• 24-Piece Felt Set – A good variety of felt pieces means the children can create a completely unique Rag-a-Monster to fit their personality and preferences. No two Rag-a-Monsters will ever look the same.
• PVA Glue – Each kit includes a 100ml bottle of non-toxic PVA glue for the assembly and customisation of the Rag-a-Monster.
• Instruction Booklet – This booklet includes step by step photos and instructions on how to rag rug and how to assemble the Rag-a-Monster. It has been specially designed for kids, so includes plenty of inspirational pictures and an activity part at the back.
• Kids Kit Bag – This can be used over and over again and is a useful place for the kids to keep all their rag rug materials together.

– Exclusive access to the Kit Companion page on the Ragged Life website – this login-protected area of the website includes videos introducing the equipment, advice on fabric usage, tips for creating strips for rag rugging, ‘how to’ videos, design tips for beginners, FAQs and much much more. It’s a treasure trove of rag rug knowledge.

Please note that this kit does not include fabric. We believe that one of the joys of rag rugging is in using up old clothing and offcuts that you have lying around (it’s great for making you re-evaluate your wardrobe).

You can use any fabric to rag rug with (jersey, cotton, lycra, velvet, fleece etc…), but we recommend that beginners start with thinner fabrics such as t-shirt material and cotton. If you’d like to buy fabric for rag rugging then take a look at our 100% Wool Blanket Yarn, which is super soft and conveniently cut into strips.
