I would have to say this week's project is probably my favorite yet! This ingenious use of an industrial material is brilliant. The project involves weaving upholstery webbing in a basket-weave pattern to create a rug.
To make the rug start by measuring the area you hope to put the rug and start cutting the webbing to size. Then weave it in a basket weave pattern, hot gluing the pieces together as you go.
To finish the edges wrap a 2" piece of cotton twill around all four edges and hot glue it down to keep it in place. Wrap the corners down and adhere with hot glue and you're done.
This fabulous rug is not only durable but reversible. It is important to note that you shouldn't wash your rug, only vacuum. Use a rubber rug pad to keep your new runner in place and that's it! Such an easy and inexpensive project that will be a definite show stopper! Hope you guys had a great week!Happy Friday! -DIY Jill
