Cut your beach towel up into strips.

I used two inch strips for four braids.

Sew sets of three strips together at one end.

Begin braiding by turning the raw edges underneath as you go.

Sew the other end when you are finished braiding.

Cut off any extra material.

Sew where the three meet together.

Begin coiling one of the braids, tucking the beginning edge underneath.

Use a double thread and hand sew the coil together from underneath.

When you get to the end of a braid, tuck the sewn edge underneath and sew to the coil.

Start the next braid underneath and continue hand sewing from the back side.

Add some rubber shelf liner paper to the underside of the rug with fabric glue.
