Weronika Ozpolat from Multicultural Motherhood contacted me via a Facebook group that I used to belong to and said she would be happy to share a craft with my readers. She is new to the blogger world and can really use some love, so be sure to check her out.
Her children made prayer mats out of scrap pieces of fabric and can I just say they are fantastic?
Supplies
Plastic
Thick cardstock
Sequence
Glue
Brush
Fabric
Scissors
Lay down a protective plastic cover on your table. Place down your thick cardstock and brush on glue in the central area. You can always add more glue to the corners under the fabric later.
Cut out a piece of fabric that is smaller then your cardstock for the base of your prayer mat. Press down so the fabric soaks in the glue. But don't make it too sticky or it will take longer to dry. Cut out other fabric straps in lines or geometric shapes and create your design, adding more glue as you go. If you are in need of ideas, visit the tile designs of Mosques around the World for inspirations.
Weronika's daughter made the prayer rug in the cover photo and her son made this one below. Masha'Allah, I think I see two future architects in our midst!
