How I Made a RUG MIRROR & Why You Need a Mini TUFTING FRAME! | Sam Made That

- This week I'm tufting one of those fancy rug mirrors I keep seeing on TikTok! Aren't they so cool? Rug tufting is such an amazing medium and it's so much fun to see the different things you can make with it!
The best thing about this is that I was able to make this rug mirror using a scrap of primary backing cloth that wouldnt fit on my larger frames by using my MINIATURE TUFTING FRAME! Isn't it so cute?! This 14in frame is just what you need to make use of those scraps of backing fabric you have piling up.
It's also great if you're running a rug tufting business, like me and make smaller pieces. With this you don't have to wait for a bunch of orders to come in to fill a larger frame! It's much easier and faster to make one offs.
If you liked my take on tufted mirrors and would like to support me and my channel they're available right now at sammadethat.com !

Thank you!! ❤️
Another one, keep it up!!!
Is there any other way aside from gluing the tufted material?
I used double sided interfacing in my very first video where I made tufted pillows! Other than that and glueing them I don't currently know of any other way to ensure that the yarn stays in the backing fabric. You might be able to get away with it if it's just for wall display but I wouldn't recommend making a floor rug that wasn't glued.
Hi Sam. Just discovered tiur channel. Love it. Can you show a video if how you back the mirrors if they are intended to be hanging mirrors?
I literally watch these videos you do and I'm like, lol, why is she not my friend?! 😅 By everybody I mean me...just me! Lol! The silliness
🥰
Love this video💜. I use my extra monks cloth for my punch needle too.😀 When it comes to the glue I put some in smaller containers because I hate messing with those darn lids and they're to heavy to haul up and down. I also use a butter knife to apply the glue because my putty knife is to big. 😂
I’ve definitely thought about that since I got a 4gallon bucket of the glue lol it’s so heavy
Wow que lindo🥰💜💙💚🤍
Really enjoying your videos and especially your pluck! May I ask what kind of yarn you use? Wool, acrylic?
thank you ❤ I use acrylic right now.
Oh my u are so pretty:)))))
I love your design!! where did you buy the mirrors from? 😊
I got these from Joann Fabrics but I’ve seen them at Michael’s too!
I love this video! Where did you find your mirror?
Joann Fabrics!
Just casually switching the glue guns, normal day behaviour :) Nice vid🦆
LOL I keep forgetting to get a big one so I keep two minis in rotation so there's always one ready to go!
what yarn do you usually use for your rugs??
Can you list the frame measurements 💕😊
That is beautiful, did you make your frame?
Thank you, I did!
do you get many orders for smaller rugs?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
hello there! Can I ask where you got the 12x12 mirror? I've been looking for a smaller one, all the ones I can find are too big!
I found it at Joann Fabrics! They had a lot of smaller sizes even ones down to like 2” tiles.
Love the video. I am not an artist at all but I think I told you I can trace. I do have a question though I noticed that you are in a studio and not like at your home. Does your tufting support your business expense and how much should that mirror cost?
I’ve been an artist for several years and am currently transitioning into doing it full time. Tufting doesn’t currently pay all the bills alone. I’m a muralist and painter as well so that helps. My husband is a full time artist too and we share the space. That 12” is 85$ on my website.
where can i buy this 14x14 frame!?!?!? need it
Idk if u already said it before but what kind of cloth do u use and where do u buy it....thank u💖
I use primary backing fabric from tuftinggun.com! You can use my code MADETHAT15 for 15% off your order!
What would you use so that the mirror can be mounted to the wall?
I use a d-ring or sawtooth hanger glued to the back.
Hi!! So I need an answer quick. I got glue that I don’t think is correct but it kinda looks like yours. So I was wondering what number your glue was so I know I got the right glue!! I am starting my and I hope I didn’t mess up because I got two gallons of that glue.
Hi! I used the 3095 but the other one is 6000 (I think) works too!
Do you think the 6700 would work to?
I haven’t used that one myself but I’ve seen other rug makers that use it just fine.
Ok thank you so much!
How about wen I dry them in the Direct sunlight
i'll build my frame for a specific size i plan on sticking with, though i have some ideas for larger rugs, too. but, if folk are going to use large frames, i'd recommend having a plan on smaller pieces to begin with. makes sense, right? lol.
as far as attaching light mirrors to the wall, velcro should do the trick, eh?
I mean you want to have some flexibility and yes it’s for sure best to have a plan. I’ve just seen some people tufting on larger frames than necessary and ultimately wasting backing fabric or not building frames because they don’t have enough space. So I wanted to show another option for those working on a smaller scale.
Velcro can be finicky and damage the wall. I’ll use either a sawtooth hanger or d-ring.
@@SamMadeThat i've watched a lot of these tufters waste so much usable cloth it makes me cringe, lol. i imagine it becomes self-evident pretty quickly.
i might make a different size frame eventually depending on demand (hopefully there is some), but there's a reason why i'm going to stick to 41x27 rectangles for as long as it works. it'd be great to have adjustable frames!
Where can i buy that small frame
It’s not for sale, I just made it.
Do you have the dimensions of the mini frame trying to debate if I want to make one and he said in the practice praying for him between largest jobs. I am just starting out adding this to my current is.
The white cloth pieces sticking out at 6:39. How do you get them not to show?
That was just lint sitting on top so it got vacuumed up! I find when you get a lot of white fibers pushed through it’s because the backing fabric wasn’t stretched tight enough or evenly enough.
@@SamMadeThat Aahhhhh that is my mistake. I need to tighten the stretch on the monks cloth
Yea it really has to be as tight as you can possibly get it. And pay close attention to the weave of the cloth itself and try to make sure it’s a straight as possible too!
Can you share the dimensions for the mini frame? TIA!
can you share dimensions of the mini frame
I've known you for 10+ years...what aren't you good at? lol
JENN!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
