Palm Loom - Economical Home Rug Maker

Thrifted Treasure.
This is the sort of thrift store find that prompts me to audible exclamations of pleasure (TMI?)
I love tools, I love fiber arts, I love vintage things...& I love items made from 'the finest quality molded plastic'. I couldn't find an example of a rug made from the Palm Loom, but I'm sure they exist. I enjoy the tool, its direction sheet & its box, but I will not use it to make a rug. I'm not that dedicated.

seems like such a shame to have such a fabulous find but not use it, by the way saw all your slippers on flickr, I think they are incredible!

I do think I may have to try this one, I can't find an example of the finished product & I'm pretty curious too.

I also have one of these that my grandmother had bought. I don't think I have seen anything she made from it though. I keep meaning to use it with some extra fabric but also have too many WIPs.

I just bought one, but do not have instructions. Would you mind sharing how to use it? :)

I just bought one for a quarter at a flea market! Also in the box with instructions. I will definitely try.

Im impressed. I dont think Ive met anyone who knows as much about this subject as you do. Youre truly well informed and very intelligent. You wrote something that people could understand and made the subject intriguing for everyone. Really, great blog youve got here.

Very interesting post with various opinions on promotion. Bumped into it after finding your most current post on FB, which, incidentally, I really don't like :-) Too much of what I do, other than KDP, is the "drive by" type of promo, or is only intended to Like or Follow other authors. I also love Pinterest, but it's mainly for me
