TUTORIAL: $100 DIY hack for any shaped custom rug
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 бер 2023
- When I was only finding rugs that cost around $2000-$3000 I decided to find a way to do it myself. I've done a lot of rug projects and have learned from each try, and now I know the best and fastest way to do this project.
Supplies list for my rug projects (these are the exact brands and colors of rugs that I have specifically used for my past projects and from experience can say they're good): www.amazon.com/shop/taybeepbo...
Here is my tutorial for making a dual color & yin yang rug: reelCmHg-6...

This is cute but how does it hold up w fraying? Esp since theres no more finished edge, since it got cut off.
It doesn’t. You have to throw it away pretty soon.
I think those 'desire rugs' are partly well over $1,000 because they're made with wool, not acrylic and are sculpted at different heights by the look of the pictures.
Even if you bought a plain oblong white wool rug and created this hack, it would be well over £100. Acrylic rugs are always budget-friendly.
Finished piece looks cute!
I was just about to say this. Those rugs are real wool so the price makes sense.
wool carpet are way much better quality but regarding those kind of design and or colors, i doubt you keep on this extravagenza for so long it could be worth the price. I personnaly owned several carpets in my life in crazy forms and colors and i was glad to not invest higher price as i was bored quite quickly. Not considering dirt, even if you respect bare foot and vaccuuming after few years it needs a professional cleaning and (at least in y country) it's extremely pricey.
I love your style bcoz my home is also colorful, different color of walls in each room.
Since I work with rugs, can I share some tips?
Try use a cutting mat instead of cardboard bcoz if your blade is sharp sometimes it can cut through the cardboard and leave scratches on your working surface.
To secure the yarns along the edges we sometimes run the hot glue (glue gun) lightly along the cut edges to avoid yarn fraying along the edge. That way yarns at the edge will be secure.
You inspire me, now I feel like redecorating my home. What I love about your home is the curve edge around the wall meeting the ceiling. Maybe I could do that to my wall by adding plaster. Any suggestion for that?
Thanks for these tips…so helpful!
Yeah, if you want her to dox you for "copying" her work. Look up the disgusting video she made doxing an artist, a fan of hers, for following her DIYs - that she doesn't want anyone following. Ego can be so ugly.
Wonderful tips! Love this!
It's so simple but elevated! Are your other rug videos detailed like this?
I made those videos before I started UA-cam so they’re not as long and detailed but i think they’d still be really helpful! A ton of people tagged me in rugs they made from my original videos so they were detailed enough for people to learn from. I have them linked in the caption of this vid
This is so so cool!! Oh my gosh. Thank you for sharing how you did this!
It's soo empowering! I love your home. I would love to watch more of your styling in video format. Like how to commit to a paint color or design. It's really hard.
ur excitement is contagious!!! this is 100x amaz 3000
Seeing you working is so satisfying 😌
Yessssss I've been thinking of doing this to my boring rug and thank God I found your video!
Oh I’m soo doing an abstract rug for my place! Thank you 💚💗
Omg it looks SO GOOD!! ❤
So cool! Love the kitty ❤
i looove your diys!!!!🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Love it!!
Fun idea, thanks Precious! ❤🧡💚💙💜
Thank you for sharing!!
Wow!! I love how quick and easy this is! Do I need a new rug?!
Omg I love love love this channel!!!
Instead of using a box cutter , which can lead to unpredictable results, using a great pair of scissors is better. If you are only clipping through the rug’s backing , and not hacking through from both sides, then a clean desired result is the outcome.
PS - same goes for cutting faux fur
Fabric scissors would work well!
Several years ago i made a long furby with similar “fabric” and cut the pieces with good scissors, and I was STILL finding furby hair from the project years later in my apartment until I moved put. It was like goddam glitter; a curse that never goes away. Ever since then I’ve only ever cut fur fabric with a knife from the back, lest I be cursed once again.
Hi everyone,
I did this DIY today and it turned out very great !! I bought an other rug because this one wasn't available in my country but it's a very similar one, in pink. It frayed a lot during the cutting so i would recommand having a vacuum lol (i don't). I'm going to run a hot glue gun along the edges to prevent it from fraying more, comment this in some weeks if you want to know if it worked (at least it will be usefull to someone).
That would be awesome, my house carpet in my room is super worn out since I walk around in my room a lot.
Heyy, just wondering how has it lasted for you? Was it worth it?
Hi everyone,
so i let it raw cut for some weeks / monthes and the bottom and top layers started separating and it was ugly so i glued the borders with a glue gun and it did not stay for long, SO i hand stitched allll along the border some months ago like 1 stitch every centimeter it took some time but that is working like a charm 🎉 it didn't move so i recommand
Hope you'll make more content on UA-cam because it's my first watched video and I already love you
Very good explained, thank you! 👍🙋🏻♀️❤️
👏👏👏👏Fantastic, great idea ❤👑
Okay so does the cut edge shed? Do you need to tape or melt or anything to “finish” the new edges?
I want to know too!
I would recommend edging it with something for long term durability.
We need to know this
I would assume you'd have to do something to the edge. Most rugs are finished around the edges because otherwise just walking over them would be enough to cause fraying. Also some rugs will warp or stretch over time if the edges aren't overlocked. I hate when people do diys like this and end them with a product that may not even hold up to regular use. So wasteful
so bad this channel is just for fast Klicks not for real interaction 😅 sad
Where did you get that sofa? I love it.
It’s called vetsak and they are like $8,000
I have this exact rug and was about to throw it out so thank you
Way Cool!
i love it. do you think a rotary cutter would be even better than the box cutter is?
You’d probably ruin your blade since the rug is so thick compared to just fabric.
Awesome 👌 ❤
Wow love it
I wish i saw this sooner, but how to you prevent fraying? Maybe some type of liquid glue on the edges could make it more long lasting? Or some bias tape ? Just thinking for a long lasting project
Another commenter said a hot glue gun will help prevent fraying.
Ran over here from IG! This is so smart!
This is very cool but I really wanted to see how you swapped out your tub fixtures.
I 💕 it
Where is the rug from?
🙋🏼♀️ Hello! I love your ideas and your rug is awesome. Do yo save the bits you cut off? They would be great to use in a colorful rug, especially since you cut them off s cleanly. Fran
Greaaat thaanks 👌👏🏻👏🏻
Do you prefer a specific non permanent carpet tape? My senior parents have vinyl tiles in the bathroom and the rug is ALL over the place smh! Do you have an affiliate link I’d love to support!
I have a $100 Buffalo plaid 5x7 rug that I HAVE NO IDEA what to do with..... it doesnt fit ANYWHERE anymore and I love it
I was just about to ask "aren't we gonna use anything underneath to save the floor?" & you just did it..😅..you're my kinda girl
I’m never on UA-cam but had to subscribe if tik tol is banned. We’re the bee to your boop!
I wonder would a electric rotary cutter would work
“kidney bean squiggly thing?”😂
What does ur work is called professional?? I waana do it as my profession or as my career option
I LOVEIT!!!!!❤❤❤ thanks so so much☕️🍩🥰
Okay but where did she get the rug from?
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Me: enjoying video
Her: *karate chops box cutter*
That scared me so much
We need more videos from you! Stick to UA-cam and just use TikTok and Shorts for highlights from your UA-cam videos. Long form content is better for our brains
I really wanna do it, but this massive rug in my country is expensive as fuck, so is kinda one try hahhah
👍👍👍🌸🌸🌸😁😁😁😁
the biggest squiggle yet
A friend of mine had done this but she used medical scissors. It was strong enough to cut even a coin.
😮
You post tutorials but yet you don’t want people to get inspiration from your work. 😂😂😂
content warning: Don’t do this DIY or Tay will send the internet after you
Wait what?
Are you sure we can use this idea? You won’t come after us right? 😢
Don't do this. If you do anything similar to this she will call you out. #canceltaybeepboop
Omg i didnt know my whole life that we can cut our boc cutters and the small dents are for cutiing bwaaahahahhahahahaa
Same🤤🤣😭
