The rugs in question is the Signe, which goes for only $2.99 each. Three of these would set you back less than a meal in town, and they lasts longer. Ok, now to the hack. The ends, right before the knots, were first soaked in Fabric Mod Podge
. When dried, Clara ran them twice through the overcast machine. "The first," she says, "to serge the edge and to cut just enough to get all three rugs to fit in the space. The second time, without the cutter, was to catch any stray threads." 
See Clara's instructions for her rugs to runner.
Cute! The stripes look like branches now.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I like this idea. I wish there were more leaves; as is, i'd forever be seeing them out of the corner of my eye and think they were something that got tracked into the house and needed to be vacuumed up.
ReplyDeleteHi Moontree, I will add more leaves, it was just an experiment to see how I liked them. And indeed they look like they are sprouting out of the straight lines, it's a nice combination.
ReplyDeleteThanks to IkeaHacker for featuring my humble hack.
Well, you've definitely inspired me Clara! I've been seeing lots of cool ideas done with cheap ikea rugs and I especially like yours. Thanks also for the how-to, very handy. I might have to do something with polka dots :)
ReplyDeleteWhat about one for the nursery with little pink or blue footprints? Love the idea, Clara, great job!
ReplyDeleteI finally got around to adding more leaves. You should check it now.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! This is so adorable! I hope to see more!
