How to finish a Latch Hook Rug?
My Aunt had a latch hook rug and I'm trying to finish it for her. I've had it for 5yrs and she had it since she was a teenager!! No instructions and I've never done a latch hook rug or any rug actually. I'm almost done and I would like to give it to her daughter for her Birthday!! Since my Aunt got it as a birthday present from her Mother.
Don't know what to do with it. Do I glue all the stuff down in the back to make sure it doesn't unravel?? Do I iron something on the back of it?? What kind of materials do I need to buy to finish it off?? Do I cut out the shape of it? Do I cut it close or do I leave the whole square that one goes in?
Thanks
make a pillow out of it. Get a great-looking patterned fabric for the back, sew it, stuff it, close it & it's a perfect accessory for the bed or sofa.
