Description
Toothbrush rugs are attributed to Swedish immigrants who brought this somewhat obscure tradition with them to America in the late 19th century. First mentioned in 1914 and popular among church and community groups, the Extension Service later seized upon the idea and began teaching the technique to persons looking for a means of self support following the Great Depression and during WWII when the motto was “use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.” This is a great project for recycling old sheets, cloth or clothing — a means of sustainability in today’s culture.
