1) COVER UP YOUR STAIRS
How you would cover up your stairs using rugs, one may think. It’s very easy and simple. Normally people leave their stairs uncovered and exposed but we want you guys to use that place wisely. Use your rug to cover your stairs. This will keep your stairs warm especially in winters and add some elegance too. You can lay any rug on your stairs but stripes are a better option than patterns.
2) TURN THEM INTO SOMETHING MORE
Making or turning these rugs into something is a very artistic idea. But what should we turn them into, you ask? Well you can turn them into pillows, cushions or floor poufs. Don’t worry this chore is very easy to make. Fold the rugs and stuff feathers or cotton or polyester in it. Now all you need are some stitches. For making a floor pouf you will need three rugs. Don’t worry about its durability as these rugs are made of canvas which makes it strong and soft at the same time. One can also use a shaggy mat as a bench cushion. Not only is this a chic alternative but it also gives the tough chairs a soft seat.
3) WALL IT UP

Don’t worry we have a seamless solution for you! Find a beautiful rug which has a great pattern or design on it. Now hang it up on that bare wall. This idea is very cheap and chic too.

Now all you have to do is stitch them together. One can also use hot glue and a carpet seaming tape to make this fix permanent. Everyone will love and adore your Do It Yourself rug. You can also get small pieces of carpets from the hardware shop and patch them up. These small carpets are very cheap and they make the end result very affordable.
5) LETS SHAPE IT
