I Made a Rug

I'm so excited to share my new creation with everyone.....I've had this planned for a while now and the fabric sitting patently waiting for me to make it into a rug.

 It took me about two days to complete, it would of taken me not as long if I didn't have to stop and do other things but I did it and love it! I always wanted a fun design rug for our living room, something to pull the eyes away from the green carpet, but those kind of rugs are to expensive. I did think about paint another rug but my sister Liz and I went to our favorite discount fabric store and found heavy duty upholstery fabric for $6.99 a yard.

This wasn't quite as simple as my painted rug but I truly appreciate the outcome of my creation.

Read my tutorial on how I made this rug here

Here is the fabric I chose.

This project cost me around $50.00 

Here it is completed

The fabric is soft and goes with my couch. 

I just love the neutral colors and the zebra pattern.

See my chair I painted and distressed? A post on that later. 

I took tons of pictures, i just like a lot of them and couldn't decide on just a few.

Here it is when I first completed it, even Zoey loves it!

Here are some newer pics

Come back and look for my feature Link party post for my first one on crafts, furniture renovations and other stuff! Also I'm always grateful for comments and check out my new facebook page for my simple home life on the top right of this page.
 Thanks for checking out my lovely rug!


A while ago I was searching for ways to create my own rug and came across this blogs High Heeled Foot in the Door's tutorial on making a Chevron rug found here which helped me start this project. I did things a little different, also I made a bigger rug.
