Can You Paint A Rug

Yep it can be done.

Can you paint a rug.

First let me share with you why i decided to paint a rug. Add more coats as desired. You cannot skimp on the medium or you will end up with stiff carpet. Alternatively you can fill a spray bottle with water and use it to slightly dampen the rug before painting.

Put the paint in a paint tray roll the roller in the paint and then roll it on a paper towel before you roll it on the rug. The fifth tip is to roll from the edge of the tape in toward the bare rug. Use a cloth to blot any excess paint from your paintbrush and paint between your taped vs. Materials used for painting rug.

The fabric medium helps the paint to have a softer more flexible finish. One reason is that ace hardware challenged me and its other bloggers to complete a paint project that breaks the rules. That keeps the paint from being so liquid that it runs underneath the tape.
