I just received the gift of my great-great-great aunt's handmade punch rugs from the 1930s. They are still hard-wearing, reversible, and not glued down at the back. This art medium is INCREDIBLE.
Usually TH-cam videos diminish my ideas because it seems “to hard” but nope. This is something I actually feel like I can commit to thanks to this tutorial 🥺💖
hiiii! someone may have suggested this already, but when stretching your fabric over the canvas, try stapling from the middle outward rather than starting from the ends. It may help you get it perfectly stretched faster! (source: i watched too much Baumgartner Restoration at one point)
@@victoriawalker3891 ooo imagine the dust it would collect if just hanging, youd have to beat the shite out of it every once in a while depending where you live/dust in the air. its so dusty where i live so :T
Today I thought about painting my nails, sewing, reading, doing my makeup, drawing, knitting, playing guitar and making a rug. What did I do? I laid all day and watched youtube vidss
Can you pleaseeeee talk about how you choose colors ? You really have an eye for it and I can’t figure it out. I love the colors you chose and they seem random but they work so well together
@buggy627, you can use almost any colour combo, as long as you stick to either cool colours (colours that have blue undertones) or warm colours (with yellow undertones). Just google cool or warm colours and you'll find a chart.
Oh I bet it’s so satisfying to punch the yarn through. Was just thinking about what I’m going to do with all the acrylic yarn I have lying around. This is perfect
Literally woke up with a horrible anxiety attack. Your video was so helpful for me to calm down. You’re a special calm soul! And now I wanna make a rug!! Lol that is beautiful !!!
I am SO glad I found this video. I have been looking for a non machine version video of making a rug for so long, because I knew it had to be done somehow before that, but I was starting to think it wasn't possible. Thank you!!!
when i was in grade school, we used to have this rug making project but we used plastic sack yo punch in yards with this metal bronze colored puncher...but now the innovation is really really amazing
If you don't glue the back, you're going to be doing that trimming step every other week. Gotta glue the back. Preferably with hot glue. To a marine-grade secondary backing.
I hope your happy after seeing you needle punch and loving your process I had to buy a small kit to try it out. Crochet is sitting all alone why I learn and watch every TH-cam. I guess I’ll say thank you I have the right to take it back if I can’t do it.
Wow. Tufting guns and the pokey needle thing are soooooo much faster than rug hooking. I've only done hooking and its take hours and hours and days and days to do each individual strand by hand
I did a kit as a teen for my grandma! We added a canvas/webbing edge around the perimeter of the back but I like your method better! I have my granddaughter the purple rose one I made my grandma and my grandson was kinda disappointed I didn’t have one for him! Now I am motivated! Thanks!
When stapling a cloth to the frame if you staple the fabric to the outside edges of the frame rather than the front it is more stable working near the edges. Also if you start with one staple in the center of the side, then opposite center and then the other two centers. Work from the center to the corners working opposite sides.
Btw, the best reason to glue is if anything snags a loop it will pull out many stitches. Especially with a dog laying on it, one little claw snag means a mess.
Wow. So glad I found you and your art. Never realised a rug would be so easy and relaxing at the same time. It is lovely and super cosy on you toes. No doubt it will be taken over by your fur babies too.
I’m not sure if anyone else has said this or not but for future reference, like if you wanna buy more of those ‘thick needles’ they’re called quite a few things, ‘darning needles’ ‘big eye needles’ and ‘yarn needles’ are the most common names for them, and they come in different sizes. They sell both metal and plastic ones but the metal ones are better quality and not much more expensive- they’re very cheap though.
I don't think you could ever be boring! You are lovely and so wonderful! Thank you for this video. I could have watched you make the whole rug in fast speed. 👍🌞🤗
My grandma taught me this eons ago. She made all sorts of beautiful rugs. I tried it back then and it drove me crazy because I kept punching too big of holes through. That half finished basket of kittens rug stayed in my closet for years . 🤣I might try it again since I have a little more patience these days .
You are so talented….never thought I made a rug but it seems so easy….the other day I was thrifting and found this good size of yarns including Chenille yarn at a $1.50 cause it was 50% of 3 dollars . Here were I live in Florida some thrift store do 50% off and the good will does 25% off on all items except cloth on good will and the one I like on cloth is from 30-50% depending on how they feel….love you and your content…..wish my daughter were more like you….😊❤❤❤
Been wanting to do this for months, finally got around to ordering monks cloth as I couldn't find anywhere that I could easily get it but when you said Amazon it clicked. Now I gotta get the yarn, as I already have the tool, and a frame
beautiful rug.... would you, please, send me the link (I do not see it in your listing) of the artist you mentioned .... Danzo ??????? Thank you very much
@@bambbiblee9198 @Samara Escamilla Replying to both of you I bought all my items from AliExpress, they're the same thing sold at higher price on Amazon. 1. Punch needle (the same one she has in the video) - $3.33 2. Monks cloth (46cm x 46cm) - $4.61 3. Yarn I bought locally it was around 4 dollars for each 4. Canvas frame I built from scrap pallet wood I found, you can buy it for cheaper in your country. Look for cheap fake art works then replace the canvas with monks cloth
Oh wow! Your rug is so lovely! I wish I would have found your channel before I bought my tufting gun & built a frame. 🤦🏼♀️ I’m about to start drawing a design on the fabric, and I’ll be using your free form, flowy design for inspiration. Thanks for sharing your experience with everyone, and I can’t wait to watch more of your videos. ✌🏼💜🛼
This looks like a great art project! I will have to try this for sure! I never knew people could make rugs like this! It's a totally new idea... Hmm... Wait. I DO recall many years ago seeing some catalog as a kid that had these "rug kits" someone was selling that came with all the supplies & the drawing. But I didn't know one could do this sort of thing on their own. I remember I had liked looking at the pictures in the catalog. I am definitely going to try this once I get the stuff I need! But the question is what shall i draw?? 🤔🖌
*adding this to my list of hobbies i want to try*
heck yah!!

Me too. Lol

Beautiful, I am now 58 and did this when i was14..... Still have my old needle, BUT bought myself a new one. Love your work. God bless you.
Honestly, when it was still on the frame, the back looked like a framed piece of art! I could totally see it just like that on the wall!
You did such a great job 😁✌🏿
THANK YOU!! You’re channel helped soooo much! So thank you!
The simplicity of this craft is TOO GOOD to miss out on. This may be my next fixation
Is no one gonna talk about how her jacket matches so good with the rug? 😍 Love the results!
is there literally ANYTHING you can't do! WOWIEEEE 👏🏼
You neeeed to make one 😍 they are soooo fun and easy
The only thing she can’t do is not be amazing at everything
Make a rug

I love how she wishes to have 100K this year on march 13th and already passed it on april 16th !! Great content, congrats!!
It’s literally almost doubled since you’ve commented. Crazy!
@@ItsCheyenneBitch now its 566k

You can leave the rug on the frame and hang it on the wall just go look real cute

Exactly

@@leidibugz did u ever end up doing those things 😂
Can you pleaseeeee talk about how you choose colors ? You really have an eye for it and I can’t figure it out. I love the colors you chose and they seem random but they work so well together
I'm not at all an expert but picking colors based on color theory will work wonders
@buggy627, you can use almost any colour combo, as long as you stick to either cool colours (colours that have blue undertones) or warm colours (with yellow undertones). Just google cool or warm colours and you'll find a chart.
also, googling color palettes makes it easy to choose from combos that have already been curated!
You've totally inspired me to try this. Your rug looks amazing.
Oh I bet it’s so satisfying to punch the yarn through. Was just thinking about what I’m going to do with all the acrylic yarn I have lying around. This is perfect
I feel like you could definitely use like a bias tape around the edges to finish them off in a contrasting color and that would be super cute too!
Literally woke up with a horrible anxiety attack. Your video was so helpful for me to calm down. You’re a special calm soul! And now I wanna make a rug!! Lol that is beautiful !!!
I do punch needle patches with a much smaller needle. It is one of my favorite pass times. It is very relaxing
I am SO glad I found this video. I have been looking for a non machine version video of making a rug for so long, because I knew it had to be done somehow before that, but I was starting to think it wasn't possible. Thank you!!!

OH MY GOD I WATCHED THIS HIGH AND THE PART WHERE YOU DEMAND ME TO ENJOY YOU PUNCHING FOR 10 SECONDS BECAUSE IT TOOK YOU 7 HOURS WAS EVERYTHING QUEEN.
😂😂😂
Omfg I am high right now and watching this video and then I am reading this comment
When stapling a cloth to the frame if you staple the fabric to the outside edges of the frame rather than the front it is more stable working near the edges. Also if you start with one staple in the center of the side, then opposite center and then the other two centers. Work from the center to the corners working opposite sides.
I am just starting out with rug making just waiting for everything to come. your rug looks amazing can't wait to get started ❤
i love how your nails and top match the rug
I’m for sure making one while I spend the week in my from with covid (maybe 10 )
I watched punch needling earlier in the year then forgot about, and then this popped back up and reignited my motivation to do so. Thank you 🥺
Btw, the best reason to glue is if anything snags a loop it will pull out many stitches. Especially with a dog laying on it, one little claw snag means a mess.
Beautiful TX for sharing wish I cood find that needle. Best wishes from SOUTH AFRICA. YOUR COLOURS😍👌🙏🌷💯
But seriously though, everything you touch turns into a beautiful piece of art 😭❤
The rug is perfectly matching with her sweeter
Wow. So glad I found you and your art. Never realised a rug would be so easy and relaxing at the same time. It is lovely and super cosy on you toes. No doubt it will be taken over by your fur babies too.
I can just hear the sighs of exasperation when I bring home some rug making supplies. Love your rug!
This is my first time seeing this lady and I wanted to cry at the beautiful intro
I loved her fleece and matching nails 😍
And wow matching art
oh this feels like the perfect project to use up yarn ends and yarn i don't love for crochet/knit wearable pieces.
omg you look like jewels from Euphoria! looove your rug, very cool
The rug! the nails! those mirrors! so groovy and cute
You are great. Love you and your ideas.
*Matching your clothing with your art project is the next level in life I am aspired to get to* 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
This is actually the best tutorial i have seen for punch rugging so far, even from experts
I need to make this as a present for my friend’s birthday 😍

Looove your design!
turned out so dope! I'm convinced I need to make some rugs now.
this definitely helps if you are new to tufting guns & wanna get started making things before you master the gun!
Beautiful job, but a recommendation would be to use carpet tacks instead of staples that way you can just take your monks cloth right off
Thank u it came out beautiful but u didmt show how tp finish 1 color do u tie a know or what do u do thx
The intro alone make me like the video
I don't think you could ever be boring! You are lovely and so wonderful! Thank you for this video. I could have watched you make the whole rug in fast speed. 👍🌞🤗
you did amazing you motivated me to buy the materials and start, mine didn’t come out as perfect but i’m definitely excited to create more ! (:
Omg TYSM! I always really wanted to make a rug, but didn’t wanna buy such an expensive rug gun! I’m very thankful! 💕💕💕
loved how approachable you made it feel....loved it.
that is a literal work of art
i've had a punch needle sitting in my etsy cart for months..! i must purchase.
U can make literally anything my gosh pls be my mentor
The fact that u reached 100k in like 1 month since this video!! Ahh! Immaculate 🙌🙌
Such a perfect rug - I love your design. I now need to finally pull out the punch needle i’ve been too scared to try 😂

I never thought I can make a rug by myself 😳
I gonna spend all my money and buy all this stuff for diy💛
I really think it would look good as a picture on the wall too above a bed or something!
You can put non slip rubber on the back portion of the rug to cover it. Love your rug tutorial.
Congrats! 👏 👏 you got your goal!!🤗
Get you a yarn winder so you can do center pulls of the yarn so you don’t have to stop and unravel the yarn all the time!!
