After my diy weaving project i felt like i needed another challenge so i decided to tackle another large scale project that s been on my list a diy rug from scratch.

How to make an area rug out of fabric.

An area rug adds color and texture to your home and if you have large scraps of fabric lying around you can turn them into your own area rugs. I buy it because i need the function of the rug to wipe feet or protect the floor. Press it flat to remove all creases. I made a huge diy rug 5 8 from scratch with just a handful of supplies.

Make rugs made from old clothes or from bedsheets or simply buy fabric from the craft store to get a rug in the colors and textures that you want. Now i take the spray adhesive and started in a corner and lifted the fabric and sprayed waited a minute to let it get sticky and placed the fabric out and smoothed out the wrinkles then finished one end and worked my way up. Lay the cotton batting on top of the rug pad also pressing out any creases or folds. This project is going to end that i am going to use fabric to make a custom rug so my color and pattern options are endless and i will get exactly what i want in color style and size.

Why not use coordinating home decor fabric. You can turn any heavy duty upholstery fabric into a fabulous area rug to get the exact look you want. I desperately needed a new rug and i tirelessly searched for one that i absolutely loved that was also. Then lay the fabric right side up on top of those two layers making sure it is nice and flat as well image 1.

Lay the no slip rug pad on the floor. No sewing is required to make this natural looking rug. All you need is some rope a no slip pad and a hot glue gun.
