stenciled outdoor rug 2 thumb2

I am not the first nor the last to stencil a rug.  It is such a cheap way to make a graphic impact in a seating area.  The girls from East Coast Creative guest posted here on their stenciled outdoor rug.  After I hit publish I immediately went and bought the $18 indoor/outdoor rug from Home Depot.  Add in three cans of spray paint and some fabric sealer and I have finally completed my outdoor living area.

Thompsons Waterseal Fabric Spray 

Martha Stewart Stencil Spray

Once you blast stencil spray on the back it is a simple process.  You spray, move the stencil and spray again.  After it is dry I gave my rug a coat of fabric seal spray to give it added protection and to cut down on sun fade.

It is the month of August and the summer is nearing the end but my outdoor living area is finally complete.

I have spent a lot of time and money out here this year and I am absolutely loving the way it turned out.

  1. great job on the rug! We’ve worked on creating an outdoor living area this summer too. Since we are in Florida we will use it year round!

  2. Hi, I’m a doctoral Student at Appalachian State University working on my dissertation. I am studying craft practices among women and would LOVE it if you might participate. I have included a link below to a survey and description of my research. Please feel free to pass it on to other women artist/crafters who you know.
    Thanks so much,

  3. I can’t find the material you used for the pillows anywhere! Do you remember the name of them?
    I have searched and searched!
