Mini Rugs Made From Computer Printer Fabric and Trim



this is the rug printed on the computer fabric paper
transfer paper
I wanted some rugs in my townhouse but I could't find the right color, style and size. I started to look at the commercial rugs carefully and decided I can do this myself and get what I want (besides I don't sew). I remembered that I made a rug for the bakery and I decided to try again for the townhouse with the left over computer fabric paper. I found images of rugs online, pinned the larger file size in Pinterest and imported it into Pixelmator and played with the adjust and noise filters. I changed the size and did a proof on regular paper first and then printed it on the computer fabric sheet. I only had three sheets left and I went to Michaels and bought the wrong thing, transfer paper. After reading the package I see how it could work even better because you use your own fabric and heat transfer to either light or dark fabric. I plan to test it later on an old T-shirt.

I embellished the rug with small trim I bought on sale at Hobby Lobby by Paper Studio in the scrapbook section and glued it around the edges of the rug.
