It was really easy but you have to be very, very patient!
It took me about two days! But it was totally worth it!

  2. This is beautiful! Way to go. I recently saw a Martha Stewart stencil in the same shape. Might make the job a little quicker for those who aren’t so great with hand-drawing.

  5. I second the large piece of canvas idea, but be careful because the paint with seep through canvas that isn’t sealed with gesso or something similar. No big deal — it’ll give you a double sided rug if it soaks through evenly, just don’t paint it directly on your lovely floors!

  6. Acrylic should work….. but wouldn’t any sort of paint make the fibers all crusty?

    If you like this idea, you might want to think about skipping the ikea rug altogether (gasp!) and use a big piece of canvas to make a floorcloth. They were very popular back before the advent of linoleum and are simple to make: you just paint whatever design you like onto the canvas with acrylic paints, then cover the whole thing in polyurethane. When it dries it’s a flexible mat that is not only decorative, but is easy to clean and protects your floor.

  8. This is an absolutely fabulous idea. Love the results too
    You could speed this up considerabley with a larger and more substantial stencil cut from mylar. You can buy these in large sizes from places like Wallovers and Stencil Library and Melanie Royals or you can make your own. You could then spray the back of the stencil to make it sticky and stencil directly through the stencil.

  12. VERY nice! Didn’t the paint get through the rug onto the floor? How does it support traffic, doesn’t it fade out where people stand or walk? How do you clean it(hoovering, stains?) Again, it IS a nice hack!
