Do you have 30 Dollars and 30 Minutes?
If you answered yes..then YOU TOO can be a lucky owner of your Very Own Stenciled Outdoor/Indoor Rug!
That's right Folks up next is a wonderful fantastic clear as a whistle tutorial to create your very own customized rug!
Take it away Jen!
{Crowd goes Wild..Clappers are Clapping there little hands away}
WUZZZZZZ UP! Jen here I am so so very happy you came by for a fun tutorial! I can't tell you how Quick, Easy and Oh So Cute this project was! So let's cut to the rug already.. or maybe we should cut a rug? Maybe later, ok.. first we need to make the rug!
So... I found this fantastic idea over at East Coast Creative, and let me just say those girls are crazy creative! I fell in love with their tutorial on stenciling an outdoor rug. Fell so hard that I ordered the rug right after I saw the post. {link to order yours!}
My rug{only $17 bucks!} was delivered 5 days later.
And here we are.
Done.. and I Love it!
I took care of business in my garage! Laid out that rug and grabbed all my supplies!
And away I went! 4 Steps- Easy Peasy Peeps!
1. Lay out your rug
2. Spray some adhesive on the backside of your stencil, and lay on the rug.{Stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils..love them!}
3. Grab that White Spray Paint Can and go at it!{Use your grocery bags to block around the stencil so you don't get the overspray}
4. Stand back and check it out! {yes this is a step. Do it!}
So recently I updated my backyard to get it "Summer Ready" creating a cozier sitting area... and NOW with my new fun rug.. it's even COZIER!
Whatcha Think? Cozier is Coziest Aye?
Meet ya out back in 5.. it's Cut the Rug Time!

Great job! It really looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteJen - you rock girl!! Love the rug makeover, I can't believe using the spray paint it didn' leak through the stencil and leave a mess!!! Looks gorg in your outdoor space, thanks for sharing! You've inspired me to make one, thinking for our dining room!!!
ReplyDeleteTotally new look for your patio!!! Love it and you could definitely have a second career as a salesman! You must just sit there and giggle to yourself!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I really think I might have to try this. Great job!
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks like a new patio! Now I could do that, even though I am not that crafty, Oh I am putting this on my to do list! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!!!!!! This looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to give it a try, too!
Oh my gosh...I am making one these asap! We move into our house Sept 1 and the front porch could use one of these fab rugs. Probably the back deck too! Love the cost of the project and what a well written tutorial.
ReplyDeleteAh this is the rug that I love so much! Thanks for linking up to Marvelous Mondays, Jen! :)
ReplyDeleteJulie
Looks Awesome! 30 minutes ... You are way better at stenciling than I. Mine would take 5 hours & look half as good ;) Visiting from Jam's Corner linkup.
ReplyDeleteYou just made that look entirely too easy. Found you through Kathe with an E's blog and so glad I did. Thanks for the inspiration and great tutorial!
ReplyDeleteLove the rug and you made it look so easy! Might have to try that myself soon. What a great transformation. :0)
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!! Why are you so fab??
ReplyDeleteJen, your rug looks AMAZING! And in just 30 minutes? You rock! :-)
ReplyDeleteReally makes your porch pop!
ReplyDeleteWow! Now I am going to be looking for a cheap indoor/outdoor rug! I would love this in the living room. I have a 14 month old and she is hard on stuff. I'm your newest follower and found you via the Home Stories link party! If you have a chance stop by Our Family of Three =)

That is awesome! I would love to make one for my back porch. Super easy and cute!
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe how easy you make that look. P.S. it's looks great on your porch. It reminds me of my grandma's porch where we use to play as kids - the memory making type.
ReplyDeleteOMG, love it! Well done. I saw that tutorial on East Coast Creative, too, and it's been rolling around in my mind since. Now you've really added fuel to the fire! I better go get one of those rugs before they sell out :) Yours is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is FABULOUSLY AMAZING!!!! Totally diggin' it!!!
