  2. can you wash the rug, or will the colour of the ribbons run into the rug?

  3. Prue: I dont think I can wash it no. This rug is a temporary thing until I can afford a real one. So when something happens to it, so just use a sponge.
    If you are interested in the idea, just buy a ribbon and try what happens with it when being soaked.

  5. I did the same when I couldn't find a large rug to match the room I wanted it for...but I did find little ones. It worked out perfectly and I thanked God I had bought a heavy duty sewing machine.
