- Create a stencil in Illustrator, one that can be repeated
- Print stencil onto paper, then trace it onto acetate with a marker. Or just print straight onto acetate too, I just didn't
- Score out your pattern with an exacto knife
- With chalk, draw a straight line across and down the rug to find the center point, tape the stencil down in the middle. I wanted to work my way out from the middle so that i can prevent the pattern from ending up off-centered. The two lines also helped me keep my pattern straight.
- With paint and a sponge brush I dabbed onto my stencil, becareful of bleeding but it is inevitable because of the nature of the rug, just don't overload the brush with paint.
- Remove stencil and repeat the step for a continuous pattern.
- Let dry and enjoy!
