He Uses Masking Tape To Turn This Cheap, Industrial Outdoor Rug Into A Masterpiece!

Here is his supply list:

• Inexpensive plain outdoor rug (I found a very basic indoor / outdoor rug for only $19.99 at Target)
• 1 roll of 2-inch thick masking tape
• Outdoor spray paint – I recommend Rust-Oleum Painters Touch (I used about 3.5 cans for my rug, but it will depend on your rug and the design you choose) NOTE: After a few months of having the rug outside, I would NOT recommend the Fluorescent Rust-oleum paint (shown in the middle of the photo below). It started to fade considerably from the sun, while the Rustoleum Painter’s Touch still looks great.
• Drop cloths (I like to use disposable plastic tablecloths – $1 a piece at dollar store)

Directions:

1. Lay the rug out over a large drop cloth in a very well ventilated area or ideally outside.

2. Create your stripes using the masking tape.

3. Paint with the spray paint.
