Do you like home decor DIY? Well, we’ve got a terrific project for you to try: rug making! The biggest secret to it is this – rugs are actually quite simple to make, most of the time. But they look really fantastic & your friends and family will be super impressed that you did it all by yourself.
One of the best things about this DIY project is that you can easily customize both the color scheme and the materials to exactly what you want. If you want the rug to match your living room paint and the furniture, you can find the fabric that compliments them to create this perfect DIY rug. You aren’t stuck with the rugs you see in your favorite store as the only choices for your living room! This is especially ideal if you have a very specific color scheme, or if you love to change your decor a lot. Because quite often DIY-ing rugs is far cheaper than buying them.
We’ve found you 40 terrific rug projects to try. Do keep in mind that a lot of rugs are fairly big, depending on what size you need. So some of these you could complete in a weekend and others might take a couple of weekends or evenings to do.
But look at these beautiful DIY rugs! We know you can’t wait to get started. Happy DIY-ing!
