Hello everyone! I hope you are doing great!
Can you believe I’m posting again and this time with an actual project? A few
weeks ago, my sister-in-law took the kiddies up to the cottage, leaving me
a couple of days to complete this super cool zebra rug I had started a while ago.
Here is a photo I had shared on Instagram, with the process.
I took a plain IKEA rug and drew a random zebra pattern
using a Sharpie. I then used a mixture of DecoArt fabric
medium and DecoArt black paint to paint the stripes in.

The rug itself took a little longer to complete than I had initially
envisioned as I had to paint several layers in order to fully cover all the
grooves of the weave. But overall, it was one of those therapeutic
projects where you could sit in front of the TV and let time go by.
Well, therapeutic unless you have a little four-legged curious friend
who thought it would be fun to step all over your freshly
painted rug and continue to walk along leaving little paw prints behind.
I had to paint thicker stripes to hide some of the paw prints, although Hubby
thought I should have left them as a memento. Now that I see
how much our little pup has grown, I think he might have been right…again :/
Speaking of, here is the little rascal, who has now discovered
couches are much more comfortable than the floor.
If you have yet to meet Brody, go here to meet him.
Here is the rug again. I love the way it turned out and can’t wait to show
you how it looks in our room, which I’m still trying to find time to complete.

Cute! My 4 legged friend stepped on my toes after I’d painted them this weekend. It was notttt fun getting red fingernail polish off his little feet!
Cute:)

This looks great! There’s something about zebra print that always appeals to me! Brody is so cute and growing so fast! Such a sweetie, even if he did “autograph” your rug LOL! Hugs, Leena
Beautiful! Do you mind sharing which of their rugs you used please? I’ve been on the hunt for a flat-weave rug to paint on.
Thank you,
Cindy
