  Step 1

  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

• 

  Step 2

  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

• 

  Step 3

  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

• 

  Step 4

  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

  Step 6

  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
