Here's why you should never overlook Dollar Store rugs!
Check out the video for more how-to's!
First, grab your rug & stack pillows in the center. I had some outdoor couch pillows lying around my apartment so that's what I used - but you can use regular bed pillows as well.
Next, place another rug on top & check to make sure the top rug lines up with the bottom rug & the sides line up as well. After that, thread a large embroidery needle with embroidery thread & begin stitching. I stitched these twice & then added some E6000 fabric fusion glue to make sure it was super secure.
After you're done stitching the first side, pull out the pillows & flip the rug (inside out) so the stitched side is on either side of the rug. Stitch this side the same way.
Next, flip the rug inside out & you will have a sewn tube. After that, place the pillows back inside.
Next, tuck a third rug into the sides of the tube & begin stitching. Again I stitched the sides twice & added fabric glue as well.
After that, add the 4th rug to the other side, stitch & let it dry.
& that's it! Now you have an adorable comfy rag rug bean bag chair! perfect for extra seating or a pet bed!
IDEA 2:
Start by grabbing a rug & gluing it to a Dollar Store pot.
Then cut out a circle to put on the bottom to finish off the ends!
This is such a cute planter or faux basket to store all sorts of things in!
IDEA 2:
Start by grab a rug & a wooden dowel.
Place the dowel on the rug & roll the top of the rug to the desired height. Hot glue to hold in place & add some E6000 fabric fusion glue to secure it.
After that, let it dry & hang it on the wall!
This is the easiest wall art I've ever made. It brightens up any boring blank wall with a statement filled with colors & textures!
