I was lucky enough this rug happened to have a separate layer of fabric already attached to the bottom. However, this idea would work with any shag rug and a piece of fabric sewn to the bottom with a sturdy sewing machine.
This rug had stitched columns, which I like because it keeps the stuffing spread out evenly. I cut a slit in the middle of each column and stuffed it with fiberfill I ripped out of two ugly old pillows (maximizing my upcycling !
Then I hand-stitched the slits closed.
Not bad for an old rug, aye?
Success!!!

Wow, what a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is a GREAT idea, I love it! Wish I could sew. :)
ReplyDeleteI love how clever and yet simple this is. I now know what to make my friends with pets for gifts.
ReplyDeleteYour dogs will surely sleep on the new rug for long hours now since it's very comfortable for them.
ReplyDeleteI have seen a rug similar to this one in a dog boarding Long Island. My husky slept on it like a baby.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very nice Dog Bed. My Schnauzer will surely love to stay on that kind of rug bed. I think I should get him one. I will try to visit the Pet Supplies Chicago and see if it's available.
