DIY- floor rugs have become increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional area rugs. These rugs provide an affordable and creative option for homeowners who are looking to add a unique touch to their home decor. There are several methods for making DIY-painted floor rugs, and each method allows you to express your creativity and add a personal touch to your home.
One popular method is hand-painted floor cloths. Floor cloths can be made by painting designs onto canvas and then sealing it with a sealant. To make it non-slip, a spatula or paint scraper can be used to apply the sealant on the back of the rug and let it dry for 12-24 hours. This method is perfect for those who want to create a one-of-a-kind rug with a personal touch, and you can pick up plain canvas style rugs for next to nothing.

So, you’ve decided to get creative and give your fabric floor rug a new look by painting it. That’s a great idea, but before you start, it’s important to make sure your rug is properly cleaned. Trust me, you don’t want to spend all that time and effort painting only to have dirt and grime seep through and ruin your beautiful design.
To clean your rug, you’ll need a few simple supplies: a vacuum cleaner, a clean cloth, and a mild detergent or fabric cleaner. First, use your vacuum cleaner to remove any loose dirt and debris from the surface of the rug. Next, spot clean any stained areas by gently scrubbing with a cloth dipped in your cleaning solution. Be sure to rinse the cloth regularly to avoid spreading the stain.
If you are lucky enough to have a wet dry vacuum or steam mop you can use those also.
Once you’ve finished spot cleaning, give the entire rug a thorough wash by wiping it down with a damp cloth. Make sure to avoid soaking the fabric, as this can cause it to stretch or shrink. After washing, let the rug air dry completely. It’s important to let it dry completely because if you try to paint it while it’s still damp, the paint won’t adhere properly and you’ll end up with an uneven finish.
And that’s it! Your rug is now clean and ready to be painted. Just remember to let the paint dry completely before you walk on it or place any furniture on top. Happy painting!
The crown is very well done, and thanks for the link, but “fun” is, well, a bit inappropriate, given the origin and meaning of the crown.

A very realistic, crown of thorns, could add some fun to your Easter dress up or decorations this year.
Add fun???? As a Christian, I am offended at your words “add fun” to use of a crown of thorns.
Maybe — should be reworded.
I am sorry for the offence caused. It was not intended. I have now reworded the post.
I’m sorry, but crown of thorns and add some fun do not go together in the same sentence.
I think it makes us stop and think about the true meaning of Easter.
really?
Thank you for the well done tutorial, and thank you even more for rewording your post. I needed a crown of thorns for our passover events and an educational tool for the children. This was perfact thank you again. And I agree with you, in order for children to have an informed decision, they need to be exposed to both sides. Amen.
