DIY Rugs on a Budget and fully customizable to your size and decor!
Whether indoor, outdoor, home, camper, tent or events, a rug helps define a space and bring your personality to a space. DIY rugs are also super functional pieces of art. The problem is when we get into the store either the pricetag is a shocker or they only carry bland, cookie cutter styles. I have two dogs, a big yard that gets muddy let alone on snow days where we need a place to lay our shoes. We have four doors between home and garage too. Then get into bathrooms, kitchens, dog food mats (aka diy rugs) and if you’ve got a kitty litter box…………. o.k. you’re getting the idea, rugs are used everywhere. A work friend recently showed me she even puts a small rug outside her horse trailer (front side where she keeps her tack) as well as under her picnic table in her camp area when on weekends at a local campground. I even know there are some of you who use cut up pieces for car mats!
Now imagine using your imagination, some supplies you may already have on hand and customizing all those spaces! I super love the upcycled ideas here and for you yarn hoarders or paint enthusiasts, there’s something for pretty much everyone and every space!
