Materials: Vilmie Rund throw, non-slip fabric, sewing machine
Description: I'm a poor student, with a rather large living room, and have been trying to find a rug that's big enough but still fairly cheap. I decided to try an experiment and it turned out really well in my opinion.
I used the Vilmie Rund throw and sewed it to the non-slip fabric (that you can get in any fabric store, by the meters).
- Sew the Vilmie Rund throw to the non-slip fabric on the long side of the throw, by folding the throw's sides over the non-slip fabric (otherwise the fabric will get stuck in the sewing machine).
- Lay the plaid on the ground evenly, like you want it to be, and sew the short sides by hand.

Oh my gosh! What a great idea! I have been searching for an affordable area rug to put over the carpet in front of my sofa, and not had much luck with finding one I like. This is an awesome alternative. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I would love to do the same:) Hva heter "non-slip fabric" på svensk? Takk!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really nice. How long have you been using it? I'd be interested in knowing how it holds up. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGenius! I'm now on the lookout for just the right throw because this is my next "rug"!
ReplyDeleteI'm so stealing that idea!!
ReplyDeletePoor student, big living space too :P
