But finding the perfect rug can be difficult and after a long, exhausting search, when you finally find that perfect piece, the price is over the top. So why not make it yourself? The process of making a rug can vary from very easy like the case of a stone mat for your bathroom to difficult for those fun pom-pom rugs that will take forever to make. We have found a collection of 11 Easy DIY Rugs Projects To Warm Up Your Home.
1. DIY Rugs Projects-The rope rug
To craft this simple rope rug you will need the following materials: thick rope, silicon adhesive, a cutter, and a canvas fabric for lining. The first step is rolling the rope into a spiral and when you feel the diameter suits your needs just cut off the excess rope with the cutter. After that use silicone adhesive to hold it all together and adhere a circular canvas to it. You will have to pre-measure and cut the fabric. Let the silicone dry to completion and voila, your rug is complete. You can also spray paint it anytime if you prefer a touch of color. Happy crafting!
2. DIY bright white carpet light
"Johanna Hyrkas had this great idea of using a simple strand of LED rope light that sits inside a knit pattern of regular ropes, spiraling out from the center. She created a wonderful carpet light that would be very practical and useful to you so that you would not need some other sources of light for your walking in the night."
