Default Craft Works :Doormat from Gunny Bag

In the latest issue of Avalvikatan Tmt. Vasantha Vijayaraghavan had given instructions to prepare doormat out of waste gunnybag.
It does found a very good idea. I tried it up. But she has finished it with crochet work all the corner. I doesnt know crochet work. So i left as it is. If want ordinary cloth can be used as border for four sides .
I made it with a gunnybag available in my house and done the kolam design by woolen thread that is also available in my home. For the backside i used the faded cushon cover. It is really a very good doormat to used it with without spending any penny.
Anybody can try it. very easy and useful also.
