Instructions

  1. Small 102111 2f2014 05 26 225838 diy%2brug chevron3

    For the arrowhead design, use painters tape to create a chevron, then run a tape line right down the middle of each chevron design. Apply paint using a sponge brush.

    For the circular design, a stencil or a canning lid jar does very well, eyeball equal distances between each oval. Once your designs are completely dried, rinse your rug in cold water and white vinegar.
