The other day I was going to buy a new rug, but decided instead to try painting this old one I found in our garage. I looked on Pinterest and found lots of DIY's for this! I used my drafting triangle like the one below to tape off my pattern, but on Pinterest people also used cardboard cutouts. It does take a bit of time and is a little tricky but I got the hang of it after a while. I like how it turned out and it's great because I got to up-cycle something instead of buying a new one :)
