How to Make a Rug From Canvas Drop Cloth

* Canvas drop cloth (any size)

* Fabric scissors or rotary cutter

* Sewing machine or hand-sewing needle and thread

* Ruler

* Measuring tape

* Fabric glue

* Non-slip rug pad (optional)

Instructions:

1. Decide on the desired size of your rug. For a standard-size rug, you will need a canvas drop cloth that is at least 5 feet by 8 feet.

2. Cut the canvas drop cloth to size. Use a ruler and fabric scissors or a rotary cutter to make straight, clean cuts.

3. Hem the edges of the rug. Fold the edges of the rug under twice and stitch them in place using a sewing machine or hand-sewing needle and thread. This will help to prevent the rug from fraying.

4. Add a non-slip rug pad (optional). If you want to prevent the rug from slipping, you can add a non-slip rug pad underneath it. Simply place the rug pad on the floor and then place the rug on top of it.

Tips:

* Choose a canvas drop cloth that is heavy-duty and durable. This will help to ensure that the rug will last for years to come.

* If you don't have a sewing machine, you can also use fabric glue to hem the edges of the rug. Simply apply the glue to the folded edges and then press them together.

* You can also add embellishments to the rug, such as tassels, fringe, or appliques. This will help to personalize the rug and make it unique.
