You know those colorful rag rugs you can buy at your local Dollar Store? Have you ever thought about the ways you could hack them into something else? I admit I hadn’t, but as it turns out, there are some fantastic ways to do just that! {Thanks to Hometalk for opening my eyes!} Take a look at these 10 things to do with Dollar Store rugs.

1. Look at this amazing pouf you can make with those Dollar Store rugs! Seriously, it’s beautiful! I don’t think your friends would ever guess.

2. Turn a couple of rugs into a pillow cover. It’s easy and inexpensive, because you just use pillows you already have.

3. Stitch some rugs together and hang them on a curtain rod. It makes a colorful, inexpensive wall hanging!

4. Piece some inexpensive rugs together to make a stair runner that won’t break the budget.

5. Iron a shower curtain to a cheap Dollar Store rug and turn it into a bath or kitchen mat that looks like a work of art!

6. Jazz up your living space by hanging a rug on the wall.

7. A Dollar Store rug with an ugly pattern or all one color can be spray painted to look entirely different.

8. Combine rugs into one lovely pillow that you’ll want to cuddle up with on movie night.

9. Another way to combine two or more Dollar Store rugs together is to crochet the edges. It makes them look much more expensive than they are!

10. Cover an old beat up ottoman or footstool with a Dollar Store rug in a pattern you like.
