it may seem like it would be crunchy under your foot, but actually it really feels no different than a rug i recently purchased from urban outfitters…maybe slightly rough, but certainly wayyyyyy less rough than a jute rug, and we all walk around on those every now and then!

i did this project at least a month or so ago (dont remember the exact date…) and it’s held up pretty well. there has been slight fading, but overall, i am happy with the result. since the paint was for indoor/outdoor use, it holds pretty effectively. i am sure that you could use some special (fabric) paint to make a longer-lasting look, but i already had this sitting around the house, and for a quick-fix, it was perfect!
