Happy New Year Everyone! Were your holidays as crazy busy as mine? I know I haven't posted in a while ,but between the flu, Holiday's ,and a new baby in the family I just didn't have the time. BUT now that everything has calmed down I'm ready to get going again. Over the next week or two I will be doing a lot of home decor projects and I'm sharing my first with you today! I am redoing Ladies room and decided to start with the rug. I have been trying to find a Faux Bear Rug and haven't had any luck either the color wasn't right or the $150 price tag wasn't working for me either ,so I made my own.
What you need
* Faux Fur Fabric. I bought mine at JoAnn's because I had a coupon ,but you can find it at most craft stores and even online. I bought a yard.
* Scissors
*Pen
1. Turn your fabric upside down on the floor... Just in case that wasn't clear you are going to draw on the fabic side that DOES NOT have fur on it! You are going to draw your pattern on now. I'm not the best drawer in the world ,so I just googled Bear rug images and eyeballed it. You can see in the pic below. You also don't have to do a bear you could do any pattern you want!
2. Now cut out your pattern. Then shake your rug to get rid of any loose fur... I recommend doing this step outside!
Now your finished! I ended up spending $8 on my rug !! WAY better and just as cute as the one I was looking at for $150!
You know if you really wanted the "bear head" you could probably get a cheap stuffed animal as well and take it apart sewing the head onto the rug.
