Step by step carpet workshop
This is a photo of the new carpet. I have also a blue/white carpet in my real house (yes I am an IKEA fan). This is a little step-by-step carpet workshop.
Sorry for the wrong order of the pictures!!! I promise you the next workshop is better!!!
Than I cut the ends of the ribbons. You need not a lot of canvas fabric (my one was only about 2 cm wide). I removed some threads (so you produce the "fringes). After that I glued the carpet on the fringes. From the rest of my jute ribbon I made a decorative drawstring (I bound 3 threads of my ribbon) and glued it on the carpet (you can see it on the last picture).
The carpet is nearly finished......the best is to put a second bag on the carpet and put some heavy bottles on the bag. So you have a flat carpet. Remove the bags (the Tacky glue must be dry!!!)
I cut my ribbon in smal pieces (one piece is about 8 cm - it depends about the space of the room). I glued the ribbon on a plastic bag (I work a lot with toothpicks)...
Material for the carpet:
jute ribbon (I found this one in my local craft shop and paid € 1,50 for 1,5 m)
you can also use other ribbon or a fine drawstring
Tacky Glue
brown or white canvas
scissors
plastik bag
toothpick
