[Let's try making something with tufting! #4] Making the ideal mat with tufting
"Tufting isn't just for rugs."
This is a series that introduces new ways to enjoy tufting that have emerged from such discoveries.
The appeal of tufting is that, depending on your ideas, you can easily create everything from interior decor items to practical items.
This time, we have compiled information on the yarn, tools, and sizes used based on items actually made by our staff.
You may find designs that blend seamlessly into your life, or inspiration that will make you want to try making one yourself.
"I didn't know I could make items like this," "I wonder if I should try a design like this next time."
I hope this will inspire your creative spirit.
This time, we have created a simple, elegant, plain design that complements Kartell's Componibili (right) and IKEA's Gladom (left) furniture.

Back side finishing

The appeal of tufting is the freedom to create
This time we used a round mat, but the best part of tufting is that you can freely decide the shape, color, and design.
This is the perfect handmade experience for those who say, "I'm not satisfied with commercially available mats..."
"It would be convenient if I had something like this" "It would be cute if I got all these colors"
With tufting, you can give shape to even the smallest of ideas with your own hands.
As I choose the color and the texture and move my hands,
Before you know it, you'll have your own favorites.
RUGMATAG will continue to introduce fun and easy tufting design ideas and manufacturing tips on our blog.
Please look forward to the next update!
