I really wanted a cowhide rug for our sitting room, but just couldn't afford a real one! I got to work with some faux cowhide fabric and created something that looked great for less than $50.
I printed out a cowhide rug shape that I liked, drew a grid over it, and then transferred the shape to a 5 x 7" piece of faux cowhide fabric.
Then, I cut out the shape and singed the raw edges with a lighter to prevent them from fraying.
This fabric is gorgeous and realistic (there's a link to it in my blog post), and the rug adds so much fun to our sitting room!

This is the LEAST amount of explanation of a project I’ve ever seen on here and I think it was on purpose so you’d have to go to the website, which I don’t appreciate.
