I have rounded up some of the cleverest and unique ways to make an upcycled denim rug.
The cost of materials for a 5x8 rug totaled about 300.
Turn the carpet right side up and apply a bead of carpet glue to the edges and approximately 1 2 inch 1 3 cm onto the top of the rug.
The only difference when the rug is going to be used over a carpet is to make sure that the color of the rug complements the color of the carpet.
In fact many reviewers post photos of their finished projects that are nice and professional.
