How I Made A Custom Rug for Under Our Dining Table

Preparing the space
Make sure the surface you’re applying the Flooragami is clean. I vacuumed to remove larger dust bunnies and then mopped the area and allowed it to dry.
Playing with your space
Lay down your tiles and start playing. Figure out how far you want it from the walls, and how large of an area you’re looking to cover in a rug. This was the fun part and where I started getting excited.
Once you find your sweet spot, start removing the backings and adhere the tiles to the floor. If needed, you can pull up the tiles and reposition them. But, the longer they’re on the floor, the stronger the bond becomes!
Adding the Easy Edge
Easy edge is just that, easy to apply. Make sure to watch the video include with this post for how I did it. Basically, remove the backing, apply to the edge to the bottom of your new rug, and voila, it’s done! Start in an inconspicuous corner of the rug where the seams meeting up isn’t as apparent. And don’t start at a corner. See the video for how to do those.
The rug is done!
Then sit back and enjoy your beautiful, custom new rug!
It’s gorgeous! I can’t believe I made it! So simple, just took a little time and creativity.
You can’t tell me this rug hasn’t made a huge impact on this room. It’s crazy what something like a rug can truly do. Changes the whole feel of the space!
If you make your own rug, make sure to tag me over on Instagram! I’d love to see what you come up with!
Happy rug making friends!
