Diy Painted Rug

I was/am currently re-doing my living room. (if you knew me, then this wouldn't surprise you. I do it ALL the time) So after figuring out what I really wanted done in the room, I realized there was no way I could afford the beautiful striped rugs in the size I needed online. So, I went to my basement. Found my old,dirty Lowe's rug. Gave it a super good cleaning. Bought some blue paint at Home Depot. Took out my roller. And voila! A striped rug.

Here's how i started. I used frog tape to and a level to make the lines as straight as possible. I also put the blue tape where I didn't want to paint. Aaaand I still managed to get some lines a bit crooked.
And here's the after. I forgot to take pictures as I was rolling. I'm sorry.
The pictures are so blurry but the it actually turned out great!!

What kind of paint? What kind of roller? How did you not get leaks under tape? And the other person’s questions - vacuuming? Texture?
i have a carpet stained by tea and thus would solve the issue. Thank you
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Must say this is so awesome but what kind of the paint do you use for painting the carpet? Doesnt this leave the carpet hard? I got wall to wall carpet and i hate the colours of the carpet and wanting the plain looking carpet? To buy the carpet its too expensive and would like to paint the whole carpet.
will vacuum cleaner clean the painted carpet?
would love to know more about painting the carpet as i would like to paint the wall to wall carpet?
