DIY Outdoor Rug

A great way to transform an outdoor space is with this simple outdoor rug.
I made this for my sisters backyard. It is a little time consuming--but very easy to make.
You just need a drop cloth, some paint, a roller brush, and some tape! Then go crazy with your design.
Paint I used: Premier Interior/Exterior Latex with a Mat finish
Colour: Orient Express

I love this! I have so much drop cloth that was given to me. I didn't know what to do with it. I will be trying this for my back patio and front porch. Also my daughter wants you to know that you look like Elsa lol.

toDIYfor :) no problem! I love my rug and am planning to make another

[@sherridrum9832]

LOVE this!!! I really want a black and white striped outdoor rug, however they are not easy to find in the correct size and when I do they are way out of my budget. I have been contemplating using a drop cloth. I use one in my tent when we go camping and its great! Than you for your video and inspiration! So creative and turned out beautiful!! :) Did you spray a water and stain repellent on it? Did you add anything to keep the rug on place so no one slips on it? Thank you Janel!! :)

[@toDIYfor]

sherri drum so glad I could help inspire you! I didn't spray it with anything... but I would suggest it. My sister told me a few mild spots developed because it was outside..so a water repellant spray would help I think! And the table was very heavy and held it in place. My sister made a matching runner for her deck stairs and just stapled it to the steps!

You seriously make amazing diys! I make gaming videos if you're interested. Keep up the good work and have a great day!

[@toDIYfor]

Thank you!!

[@cosmicgirl2415]

No problem! Have a great week!

[@18grasser]

Gorgeous and fun! What was the total cost of the project?

[@toDIYfor]

Thanks! The paint was about $20 and the drop cloth around $30 I think. It was very large.. so a little expensive.. but smaller ones are cheaper!

[@sharettawalker4703]

Great idea...stealing it! LOL Thanks!

[@toDIYfor]

Sharetta Walker YAS! 🙌🏼

[@soldadoroberto]

Nice job and you are so pretty too :)

[@cutiedoggy475]

Is there something to put underneath it to weigh it down besides washers?

[@toDIYfor]

Truther Revolution I’m not sure I understand...? To weigh the rug down? We put the table and chairs on top.. which keeps it in place

[@stephanierichardson3991]

Are you able to wash this at the end of the summer season? Or does it not do well in the washer. :)

[@toDIYfor]

I actually gifted this to my sister.. but here's what she said: She wouldn't was it in a washer.. but maybe outside with a broom, soap, and hose, and hang to dry.

[@deborahtorain-williams7609]

did it bleed through on you patio floor

[@toDIYfor]

No it didn't for me. This cloth had a plastic backing on it.
