Sew three strips together at one end to start. Braid these together...it helps to anchor your braid on a chair or something. Keep braiding. As you get to the end of the strips sew on a new one. To make your rug coil one end of the braid into a tight circle. Sew the edges together with strong thread. Keep coiling and adding on to your strips till you get the size braid you want.

I'd like to share a few free resources for those prepping for Treks:
http://www.mormontrek.net
The contents there are in the process of moving over to a permanent home at:
http://www.clothingthesaints.com
The clothing patterns and suggestions on each are accurate to the 1840-1865 era, and may be freely copied and shared for non-commercial use. This is a big, on-going project, so more information and resources will be added in the coming months and years.
I just blogged about the costumes we made the Primary children for Pioneer Day with specific instructions for making vests and bonnets.
