My DIY fleece rug

I've been wanted to try a diy rug, for a few weeks now but was unable to at the time because I could not find a base. A lot of the tuts I found were using t-shirts, and a shirt as well for a base, that you had to make your holes in. No way was I going to attempt to puncture holes into t shirt material. Way too tedius for me.
But the other day I was in the dollar store, and there it was! For only 2 dollars, one of those *things* (I'm sorry, I am tired tonight of cannot think of the word) you put under mats to stop them from sliding on the floor. Looks identical to the base in a latch hook kit.
I had a bit of black fleece left, so once I got home I started.
I wasn't sure if this would be easy or not. I found the worst part was cutting the fleece into strips. The actual weaving it into the base was simple.
I wanted to only make a small mat, for in front of the sink in one of my bathrooms. The whole thing took me about 3 1/2 hours, less then a metre of fleece fabric.
I think it turned out great for a first try, and I am happy with it.

I am going to start on one for my daughters room, next week, in some pretty pastal colors, maybe a design of some sort, and in a bigger size. As well I will take some pics of the steps I take, and make a little tut for anyone wanting to try this.
