Mini Shag Rug, Homemade

I had a bag of clothes, ready to go to Goodwill, but I rescued some to create this little bathroom rug. The rug backing is cut from a heavy sweatshirt; the rest of it is just 1" wide fabric and t-shirt strips--gray/khaki/orange/aqua/brown floral, aqua floral. The strips were cut about 3 1/2-4" long and zigzagged on in rows. Very easy.
And what do you think of this impressive, $6.00 antique animal carrier?? I think I'll weave fabric strips in and out of it and make a little unique suitcase--it should fit as carry-on!
