jaxenro Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) So I wasnt happy with what I had found for rugs/carpets so far as I need some that are at least 36" long for the center section store and I wanted some nice round ones for under the tables. Also I wanted some neoclassical as well as traditional persian designs. So I am experimenting with some printed on velvet designs backed by cotton cross stich fabric If they come out ok am thinking of a carpet store selling high end carpets. this first is a neoclassical design that will be 36" long Some round Turkish designs variations on a theme - three different shapes of the same design Edited September 6 by jaxenro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 They are all great, and I think that's how those itty cigarette premium rugs were done (the hubs won a bunch of them in an auction) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxenro Posted September 8 Author Share Posted September 8 (edited) here is the full tutorial probably a little overkill both with how I do it and the tutorial but enjoy I had my designs printed on Celosia Velvet from here after uploading my design https://www.spoonflower.com/artists/designs/new I used the following fabric as a backing (I have a nice red one to back the red rugs above) first I soaked it really hot water and then put it in a 10" hoop pulling all the wrinkles out. After it dried thoroughly (and shrunk tighter) I gave it a thin coat all over of this glue using foam brush and let it dry again. You can tell it is fully dry when the shine goes away then I gave it another coat of glue and pressed the cut out carpet in place and let it dry again all thats left is a pair of sharp scissors (I bought a new pair just for this) and to cut it out and this is how it will eventually look thru the front bay window. I have plans for the shelf unit and floor but those are different threads Edited September 8 by jaxenro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 That most assuredly does NOT look like a miniature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxenro Posted September 8 Author Share Posted September 8 The velvet gives just the right amount of “pile” the glue some stiffness and the thickness is about right so better than I expected and far easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxenro Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 Not that I like this one (too garish) but this is 2 minutes playing with the adjustments in the basic MS photo editor you could probably make it into any color you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 A wee shift tpwards green or orange would tone down that yellow nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxenro Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 Or really a crème color for the base would be good. This one seems a little too dayglo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted Friday at 12:20 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:20 PM That would look good in the Oriental bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
