- It's time to make a BIG RUG TUFTING FRAME! I have a lot of big tufting projects coming up and my smaller tufting frames just aren't going to cut it. So this week I finally built a bigger tufting frame. I ended up building a frame that would allow me to make pieces up to 5ftx6ft. I might go even bigger in the future but I wanted to be realistic about the amount of tufting cloth I would actually have on hand at any given time and a bigger frame means more cloth.
To build my frame I used
2in x 4in x 8ft Pine Stud (5)
2in x 6in x 8ft Pine Stud (1)
4in Construction Screws (1 box)
3pk Carpet Tack Strips (5)
Wood Glue (FREE, I already had some)
Paint (FREE, I already had some)
TOTAL SPENT: $70.17
I already had the necessary tools at the studio which were a
Miter Saw
Drill
Hammer
I built my tufting frame by myself over the course of 3 days and I'm so happy with how it turned out. There were definitely some ups and downs during the process but it mostly went well. I've already done some tufting on it and with was really nice to be able to do multiple pieces as one time instead of waiting for each piece to be done and then having to reset each time.

Lol, I do the same when I work with wood, just keep talking to myself and to the wood :))
Exactly! lol I can't help it, gotta let it know who's boss 😂 or try to at least
Hey I’m a contractor and love to see people help themselves with these simple DIY projects. I would recommend next time pre drill your hole with a smaller drill bit this way it makes driving the screw in the wood a lot easier.
I did actually! Was just unlucky in my selection of wood that day!
@@SamMadeThat lol I know the feel very well.
@@SamMadeThat Hey I don’t know why I didn’t see that you pre drilled your hole and you even said that 🤣😂😅
Very good job
Any chance of measurements for the legs please?
Hi! Where do you buy fabric big enough for your frame??
Long comment alert🚨 : I found out about rug making during the pandemic I was obsessed … never did it. Recently started a new job and it’s hella stressful and I need self care, came back to your rug making videos. I just completed my first punch needle project and I loved it. After binging your videos .. I think I’m going to go for it!! Thanks your all your tips and tricks and I love your personality! Keep it up and thank you for being your 💖
Love this!! Hoes everything going??
My son made me a 4x4 a couple months ago and used the carpet tacks. He used the nails it came with. Well, last week they came off the frame. So we used screws to put them back on. It was an easy fix if it happens🤞
Girl you did a great job!! Because out of frustration I woudda been like no hammer?? Hold on people I gotta go get a ROCK from outside 😅😊😅 great job!!!
Her studio has a Saw machine, a sander, drill gun. Missing? A hammer…the most basic of tools! 😂😂
You’re funny af I love it! 😁
Believe me I was confused too 😂 lol
Fun Fact :
Tufters are way more than the buyers of tufting works
Hi how do we know the dimensions to cut the leg pieces 😓 thanks for the video
It’s really up to you and how high you want your frame to sit. My legs were 4FT long and I screwed them in so my frame was 20” off the ground. The extra length just helps with the sturdiness. And then for my feet I used a wider board cut to 3ft long.
Hi! Where did you get the fabric from to fit the frame? I’m making a 6ft x 6ft frame and I’m trying to find fabric to fit it.
I get my fabric from tuftinggun.com and jancrafts.com
Wow thats amazing, i saw in the video that you had two rows of carpet strips is that necessary for larger frames?

where did you get the Crayola Hoodie 😍
i literally love your videos 😂 Plz keep making them 💯
What size cloth did you use to cover your whole frame ?
About 78”x90” I think. I order 5yds at a time and they come 13ft wide which gives me 4 full frames of cloth.
keep crafting home girl you're inspirational
Thank you so much!
I'm such a fannnn obsessed with you!!!
Love It What’s The Height & width?
May i ask where you got your backing ?
I get mine from tuftinggun.com and jancrafts.com !
I just want to know where you got your cloth from. I can't find anything that size. I need 8' x 10' to make a carpet that covers the entire floor of a room.
Both tuftinggun.com and jancrafts.com carry primary tufting cloth that is 13ft wide. I think tuftinggun.com is out of stock of everything but 1yd lengths right now but jancrafts.com has it in stock.
I just found your channel and love your energy and vibe. For your carpet tack strips, how did you get those fun colors on there?
Spraypaint!
What size did you cut the boards for your legs
The legs are 46” and are set with the feet so that the frame is 20” off the ground. The feet themselves are 3ft long.
@@SamMadeThat thanks i got my frame made just have to get to my storage for my miter saw to cut my angles on the leg supports
Your singing is beautiful ♥️
Where’d you get the monks cloth
Thank you! This was primary tufting cloth from tuftinggun.com, you can use MADETHAT15 for 15% off. If you prefer using monks cloth and can’t find any in stores I’ve seen it on Jancrafts.com
Props for drilling pilot holes to avoid splitting... everyone else's videos have them goin straight into the wood and splitting lmao. Awesome hoodie btw
Haha! Thanks, I have a love/hate relationship working with wood but it worked out thankfully. And thank you!
Is there a place i could go to do this bc I don’t have that citing equipment
They should be able to do some cuts for you at Home Depot/Lowes or you could do a tool rental.
Hi lady!!
Rookie Tufter here 😀
I just wanted to ask you real quick, if you think tac strip is easier than Staples when using a larger frame? I am starting my first large one and I stapled monks cloth to the frame FOR TWO HOURS🤬🤬🤬
It's incredibly taught lol? Do you think it's worth the effort? (This will be my 4th rug)
I do think tack strips are superior to stapling. Mostly because it’s much faster both putting the fabric up and taking it down. Yes you can just cut your pieces off but you still have to deal with the staples stuck in the way on your frame the next time you put up fresh fabric. But mostly I’d go tack strips because you can easily reposition and retighten your fabric as needed.
@@SamMadeThat Thank you for responding 🥰 Your channel is responsible for a lot of sleepless nights haha 🤣🤣
How do you keep the cloth stable for tufting? The carpet tack strips?
Yes! The carpet tack strips are what hold your fabric. If it’s not holding make sure your tack strips were installed correctly and all the nails are all pointing outwards.
Hey hey Sam. Nice frame. Suggestion: You have a miter saw therefore you can make miter joints with pocket screws. A much cleaner and stronger build.
Amazing Frame! Where do you acquire your cloth?
Thank you! I get my cloth from tuftinggun.com and jancrafts.com! You can use my code MADETHAT15 for 15% off your order on tuftinggun.com
How do you make sure the fabric stays down on the frame?
The nail strips that got added in the last step hold the fabric on. The nails are angled outwards on each side so that the grab on to the fabric and hold it in place.
Omg thank you for being so detailed with what you’re using and the price! You’re amazing! Can’t wait to start mine 💕
I just received my turfting AK , your vedio has showed me a way to....thumbs up to u
Do you have Instagram?!?!
I do! @thesamlao
does it move or rock a lot when your tufting on it
Not at all. I used wider boards for the feet and offset them a bit so there’s more length towards the back. I’ve seen some people put bracers on the back of their frames that butt up against the wall to keep it from moving
Can you also build an adjustable frame? So that you can also use smaller towels. That would be really useful. Do you have an idea or tip for me?
I’m currently trying to make a 14x14 frame.. help plzzz lol
I wanna say mine used a 1 x 4 x 8 board, you’ll only need one.
So you’ll need a top, 2 sides and bottom. Your top piece is 14” and both sides are 12”. Your bottom piece will be at least 20”, this is so once assembled you’ll have those little feet that allow it to be clamped to a table.
You can screw it together just with regular screws (pre-drill your holes!) or use L-brackets in the corners. Then you just cut your carpet tack strips to size and voila! 14” frame. You’ll be able to do 12”x12” pieces on it.
Now if you meant a 14 x 14 FOOT frame you a real one and I cannot help you lol that would be huge.
@@SamMadeThat yesssss ur a real one for this …thank you so much ..I shall tell u how it goes 😁😁😁
@@SamMadeThat ohhhhh no mam that’s way above my pay grade lol 😂
You might be the first person I ever seen paint their frame.
" I will not be defeated!" 2:23 I subbed
Is that a 6x6 frame?
Almost. I can do 5x6 on it.
where did you get the skil saw ?
How much monks cloth did u get
I use primary tufting cloth. I buy 5yds of 157” lengths from tuftinggun.com at a time and that gets me four full frames this size. You can use my code MADETHAT15 for 15% off your order!
@@SamMadeThat I have a 5x7 frame. I ordered 1yd off the site. Would that be enough for now
good working 😊
what are the measurements for the frame ? which pieces of wood did you use for the 4 sides of the frame ? & what were there measurements ? 😩 i got the legs part lol
The information is at the beginning of the video
you did it greattttttt
Hi, what are the clamps called to hold the wood while you are sawing? Did the saw come all in one piece with the place you are using to lay the wood on to saw?
The clamp is an attachment to the Miter Saw. It doesn't come with the saw but you can buy one that goes with that saw. Any clamp will do, though :)
