People buy and use all kinds of different products to decorate their home in a unique way and everybody likes a little aesthetic touch where they spend the relaxing time of the day. To bring in a tropical and beachy environment, jute rugs have become a trendy choice for people all over the world. They can be a little expensive from time to time. But, with a few materials and a little effort you can make one by yourself with ease. So, here’s how you can make a jute rug at home.
For the basic materials you’ll need 3 rolls of jute rope, canvas drop cloth, and glue. You can also use hot glue for easy use.
Now, take the ropes and start braiding. Be cautious of the ropes being tangled with each other. If you are aiming to make a bigger rug braid the ropes according to measurements. After you are done braiding, it is time for the next task. Take the drop cloth and lay it on the ground. It is going to be the base for your rug. Now draw the outline of your rug design on the cloth. Take your braided rope and start gluing your jute rope on the surface of the cloth. Be careful while doing that. Do not leave any gaps in between and glue them properly for a longer lasting rug. You can start with fixing a centre for a circular rug or you can just go with gluing parallel lines on the cloth and easily make a rectangular one. After you finish gluing your ropes cut off any extra material. You can add more touch with colouring your rug if you want to.
And there you have your self-made organic jute rugs. It just isn’t organic and beautiful, you rug is also nature friendly and made by you. If you get too good at that, who knows maybe you can open a business and sell your custom made jute rugs!
