How to Paint an Old Carpet
You can change a rug by using Sharpie markers. Another option is to use stencils for more complex designs. Or you can create your own design patterns using painters tape.
If the like is low, I think stencils and paint lens or markers would be great! Stay well!
Hello there,
You could paint the entire rug with a fabric paint. If too plain you could then add colour via artistic free style splashes etc or more controlled design. Be brave and have fun!
