Fur Real?  DIY No-Sew Sheepskin Rug

Lush isn't it!
So I've been slowly decorating Miss 4's bedroom, and decided she needed some colour on her floor.  Seeing as I've chosen the less 'girly' colours of blue and yellow for some furniture items and duvet cover, I knew that she needed a splash of pink on the floor!  Tie that in with the fact that I've been wanting a sheepskin rug for quite a while, and you have a light bulb moment....What about a pink sheepskin rug?  Well, I'll tell you now, that pink sheepskin rugs are about as rare as pink sheep....so I knew I'd have to come up with something crafty!  I trotted down to my local fabric store and found THIS fabric on clearance! At $12.99/metre it is a total bargain!  Yusssss!
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 1: 
  • First I folded the fabric in half backside facing up, with the nice furry side on the inside, then laid it flat on the floor. I used a friend's authentic sheepskin rug for my pattern.  If you can't get hold of the real deal, you can get a template here. 
Step 2:
  • I then traced around the original sheepskin rug, just making it bigger to fit my fabric size, and started cutting.
Step 3:
  • I then folded it out, and ran my hand around the edges to get rid of any loose fluff (and by gosh there was a lot!).  I was also checking to make sure that it wasn't going to continue to fray.  It that was the case, I had a sewing machine ready to tidy it up.
And this is how it currently looks in Miss 4's room!  The kids love it...and I love it too!
And in case pink's not quite your thing, here's some other fabulous sheepskin tutorials too: here, here and here.
If you prefer cowhide over sheepskin, then give these tutorials here and here a whirl!
