DIY: Runner Rug / IKEA HACK
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 бер 2020
- In today's video, I will show you how to create a runner rug using 3 floor mats from Ikea! This whole project only takes about 2 hours to make from start to finish and the end result is beautiful! Put your own spin on this project using different floor mats and different painting techniques! Here is a list of what I used:
1 Rug Pad: www.ikea.com/u...
3 Floor Mats: www.ikea.com/u...
Tacky Glue: www.amazon.com...
Hot Glue Gun/Glue Sticks
Black Acrylic Paint and a Paint Brush
So have at it! Go create something good today!! :)

Love the painted stripe touch. Very brave and very creative.
Caroline Ramage thanks so much! I had so much fun making it!
I would have left the fraying off in the middle bits and that way no one can tell its a few put together. Would have glued the tassles underneath except for at each end. Other than that, good job! I have some 100 year old material gifted to me and I'm using it to yoga mats to thicken it up haha wish me luck xx
Love this idea!! I’d love to hear how they turned out!
Totally agree😊but good job
Your creativity is great!
Thank you Lee!!
Awesome hack! Thanks for sharing !
Looks great!! I've recently made some cushions out of those rugs , love the tassels and thick texture
Ah thank you!! I bet the cushions are cute! Great idea!
Awesome idea with the paint! :)
You won me over with the paint. That was a beautiful addition to a great project. #WellDone
Aw thank you! :)
I really like the result !..😄👍only thing I would have done was to iron the rugs first so the fabric laid flat for a neater look...but great idea..! (tbh I'd pressed the like button as soon as I saw your gorgeous cat climbing about on the rugs......😅😺)xx
Haha ahh thank you! We love her 😻! That’s a great idea!! I will have to try that next time!
For what you spent and because of Karen 😹I think this is a great idea! It’s really cute and unique and functional!
LOL thank you Erin!! 😊
Love it. Im gonna try. I might try painting all the fringe black but just on the 2 ends. Keep the 2 lines on the middle fringe just like you did.
Thank you! Love your idea! Let me know how it turns out!
I think removing the fringes of all but the beginning and end might have aided your "this is all one piece of carpet" aim. 🤗 You could also then (if you have the energy!) re-site that reclaimed fringing around the free side edges to help maintain the illusion of one complete runner. Another potential hack is to water down chalk paint (less stiff than acrylic) and put it in a squeezy craft bottle with a tapered metal nozzle - this helps you control the outflow of the paint more easily - _if_ you want a sharper line that is (you may not have wanted a precision line, but I thought I'd offer this tip just in case anyone reading this does!). That said, I think your painted, naturally uneven lines give this rug a lovely handmade, organic feel and your instinct to paint stripes to trick the eye is spot-on. I also like the addition of the rug pad to give a feeling of extra cushioning and quality underfoot.
Have also just thought that some of that lovely bobble fringing might look cute along the free edges - again to maintain the 'one long runner illusion'. Did you know there's a fabulous 'heat-seal' carpet tape you can buy that joins even heavy rugs together? It's what professional carpet layers use when they have to join carpet. I've not tried it myself yet, but am about to have a go!
Thanks for sharing your tips and letting us watch your process. It's easy for people like me to come along and offer refinements without having even made a video myself, but you're the one who's had to put yourself 'out there' publicly, and wait for the inevitable _"Here's what you should have done/this looks terrible"_ comments that accompany every video on YT. 🙄 Well done Meggie, and keep going! 🏆
Ah thank you for your feedback! These are excellent ideas that I will have to try! Thank you for watching! :)
@@MessinwithMeggie My pleasure! A couple of months on and I'm making a mosaic carpet from small triangles of carpet and bonding with carpet tape - there's fluff _everywhere!_ 😂
Curious if the hot glue stayed together over time? It has been awhile since you made it. Did the carpet stayed glued to the rug pad?
Hi there! Thanks for watching! The hot glue has actually held up very well, especially for a high traffic area! :)
Bullseye!
Could it be washable? I have two puppies that like making in the house😒
Hi!! I’ve only ever spit treated it but I bet if you used fabric paint and washable glue, you could probably was it!
No shot 🤣🤣
How would you wash it?
Hi Heather! I treat this just like any other rug in my house that can't be put in the washing machine. I just spot clean it as needed! :)
How does the paint hold up after washing? Thx
Hi CeCe! Because I glued the rug pad to the back of the rugs I only vacuum to clean it. If you want it to be washable I would recommend using washable fabric paint! 😊
I'll go check out a couple your other videos out too :)
Thank you!! 😊
you're totally cute for taking on this project, but i don't think this is practical or the best finished look for most people.
This looks terrible
Thanks Justin! :)
I think you missed the most important factor in this .... " DIY "
@@JCaras thank you ❤️ haha not the most beautiful diy but fun and useable none the less! 😊
5 minute crafts could even do BETTER
Let us know you have terrible social skills without telling us you have terrible social skills...
Not every comment formed in your head has to find its way onto a keyboard, Justin. 🙄
