If you can't find the perfect rug, why not make one? It's easy!
If you can't find the perfect rug, why not make one? It's easy!
Figure out the size you want to make your rug and add 1" all the way around Cut your canvas to this size Iron the edges in 1" Add E-6000 Stitchless glue around the edges and iron the edges in place
Measure the center of each side of your canvas rug Connect where you marked with painter's tape Using the first taped diamond, measure in 3" to create a smaller diamond Measure in again to create the center diamond Add tape to all your drawn lines Start filling in with your multi-surface paints
Black in the center Next red, followed by turquoise orange and finally green Remove the tape when it's dry and coat the front and back of the rug with Minwax Polycrylic
Cut your printed fabric 1" bigger all the way around than you want your rug to measure Cut a piece of canvas 1" smaller all the way around than your printed fabric With the printed fabric centered on top of the canvas, seal them together with a layer of Minwax Polycrylic Add more Minwax Polycrylic to the top after you've sealed them together

Add E-6000 Fabri-Fuse to the 1" edges and iron them to the underside of the canvas Create a 2" boarder 1/2" in from the edge of the rug all the way around using tape Fill it in with a matching color Glue fringe under the ends of the rug with E-6000 Fabri-Fuse and let dry
