Easy No Sew Rug Pillows

Hi Friends,

Last week I found these thick woven cotton rugs at Dollar Tree.

I thought they would make nice pillows




They had Green, Black and Tan- I went for Tan.

There's couple different ways to make these.

You could sew two rugs together OR use one rug and a different backing.

 I'm going with the easiest way-  with a Hot Glue Gun!

You will need :

2- Rugs with fringe- approx.16" x 24"

Hot Glue Gun

Poly- Fiberfil Stuffing
I use a standard pillow from Walmart for $2.00





First I untied the knots one side of both rugs.


Right sides facing out.


Then re-tied together in a knot, front and back.


I did not need to glue the fringe sides.


Run a line of Hot Glue along the top side of pillow.

Glue along the bottom, leaving an opening and stuff.

Pinch and glue closed!


I love how they came out!

They have great texture.


Tell me what you think-


Have a great day!

    They look great and right up my alley: I can't sew but I can use a glue gun!

      I love a quick and easy project. This style rug should be easy to find- It really took about 10 minutes.

    Wondering how long the hot glue will hold the rugs together? Did you apply alot when you put the rugs together? And, do you think this would be washable? Thanks.

      Hi Phiddy
      The hot glue holds great-no I didn't have to use a lot.
      There is a side seam on these rugs. I spot clean these because the fringe will become matted and twisted in the washing machine. These rugs are cotton and they will shrink- a lot if washed. I hope that helps.
