YOU'LL NEED

1 yard printed fabric

2 yards heavy cotton canvas

Americana Multi Surface Paints in your favorite colors

Minwax Polycrylic

E-6000 Stitchless Iron On Glue

1 yard fringe (optional)

E-6000 Fabri-Fuse

Painter's tape

Figure out the size you want to make your rug and add 1" all the way around

Cut your canvas to this size

Iron the edges in 1"

Add E-6000 Stitchless glue around the edges and iron the edges in place

Measure the center of each side of your canvas rug

Connect where you marked with painter's tape

Using the first taped diamond, measure in 3" to create a smaller diamond

Measure in again to create the center diamond

Add tape to all your drawn lines

Start filling in with your multi-surface paints

Black in the center

Next red, followed by turquoise orange and finally green

Remove the tape when it's dry and coat the front and back of the rug with Minwax Polycrylic

Cut your printed fabric 1" bigger all the way around than you want your rug to measure

Cut a piece of canvas 1" smaller all the way around than your printed fabric

With the printed fabric centered on top of the canvas, seal them together with a layer of Minwax Polycrylic

Add more Minwax Polycrylic to the top after you've sealed them together

Add E-6000 Fabri-Fuse to the 1" edges and iron them to the underside of the canvas

Create a 2" boarder 1/2" in from the edge of the rug all the way around using tape

Fill it in with a matching color

Glue fringe under the ends of the rug with E-6000 Fabri-Fuse and let dry
