If you're like me, you love those plush,
cozy rugs popping up everywhere. However, when you're at the store ready to
purchase said rug and see a price tag of $199.99 you realize your desire of
soft heaven is simply not worth it. Well, I have the best of both worlds. A
DIY! With this tutorial, you can create one for around $20!
1. You
will need:
tape
measure
length
of artificial sheepskin fabric
marker
scissors
You need to measure the
approximate space you'd like the rug to cover. Keep in mind, these are designed
to be accent rugs. You can make a bigger rug, however most stores sell fabric
in yards. As such your rug will only be 3ft wide unless you sew/glue several
together.
Take a trip to the fabric store
to buy the "sheepskin" fabric. I bought 4ft by 4ft and it made two
accent rugs. Before you pay, make sure you find a coupon! Never pay full price
for fabric, I got 40% off.
2. Once
you have your fabric, using the marker draw a VERY LIGHT circular shape. Its ok
if your circle is more blob shaped; it makes the rug look real.
3. Cut
your rug! The rug will shed, this is normal. I ran the hose end of my vacuum
along the outer edge to get rid of the loose hairs.
Accessorize your rug as you see
fit! Depending on the fabric you use, your rug MAY BE machine washable on a
gentle cycle. However, the rug will shed so don't wash it too often.
Enjoy the lux life y'all.

Lots of Love,
