DIY outdoor rug

today when it comes to fun component, cause the spray paint! I laid the rug out on my roofing, utilizing drop cloths around the edges. We started utilizing the neon red paint on the straight stripes side, performing several applications a few momemts aside.

Then I relocated to the diagonal striped side, spraying every other stripe green. I let that dried out for 15 min. or more after that moved over the staying stripes in yellow.
If you should be impatient like me, you cannot wait the twenty four hours or whatever its for the paint to totally dried out to remove the tape. Witnessing the brilliant colors revealed is considered the most interesting part! I pulled off the tape about 30 min. of dry time and it absolutely was fine. Then I left the rug outside in a single day for the paint to dry completely.

The full total cost of the carpet came to about $40 and took around 3 hours from start to finish - not bad. Hopefully it will endure really underneath the elements - i shall give an update at the conclusion of the summer. For the time being, I'm loving how much color it's brought to our roof!

Improve by 4/2013: i recently put-out this rug I made final summer time. It however appears decent but being into the complete sunlight and elements performed fade the carpet significantly after a few months of use . Your absolute best wager to maximise the life associated with rug is to utilize it in a covered patio area or roll it when not being used!
