Are you able to enjoy your outdoor spaces yet? We’ve been having some beautiful spring weather and some downright HOT, we’re not ready for summer weather too. Once the weather starts to warm it’s time to get those outdoor spaces ready. Creating a beautiful painted outdoor rug is a great addition to your outdoor space. Once the weather starts to warm it’s time to get those outdoor spaces ready. Creating a beautiful painted outdoor rug is a great addition to your outdoor space. Well, when ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape and The Home Depot asked me to participate in their, “Get It, Got It, Go” summer blog-hop.
I knew this project would be perfect! This year’s blog-hop is being hosted by Kate at Centsational Girl, so be sure to check out the other fabulous projects here: Get It, Got It, Go
With just a few hours of work you can have this fun project completed!
I started off with a rug that already had somewhat of a diamond pattern going, which meant taping it off would be SO much easier.
I went to Home Depot and picked up some ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape Original Multi-Use 2090 Painter’s Tape… love this stuff!
So I laid out my tape pressing it down firmly onto the rug.
Once my design was finished it was time to paint… one of my favorite things!
I decided to go with blue, green and white… but you obviously could pick whatever colors you love!
I used outdoor acrylic paints for this project, since the current plan is to have it on our outdoor patio, although I’m thinking it would be super cute in our kitchen nook too!
I used a stencil brush to pounce (blotting up and down motion) near the tape line and then brushed on the paint to fill in the center of the diamonds.
You can see I put a little dab of tape in the sections I didn’t want to paint to make sure I didn’t mess up.
I started with all the blue diamonds and then went onto white, then green.
Once I was finished with the final color I let it dry for about 30 minutes and then gently pulled off the painter’s tape.
So fun and beachy!
So gather up your supplies and within a few hours you can have one too!
Now I’ve got an awesome giveaway… a $50 e-gift card to Home Depot… woot!!

I am proud to be a 3M- sponsored blogger, and, as part of my responsibilities, I get the opportunity to evaluate new products from ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape. Opinions are my own and additional product used in the project were selected by me.
Do the colors bleed or wash out completely when it rains? Great idea if the weather doesn’t mess it up. Love the colors!
Gwen I used outdoor acrylic paints (sometimes they are labeled at pottery paint)… they are designed to withstand the outdoors. So far… so good 🙂
This outdoor rug looks great; I’m going to try it myself…Thanks!
I was very inspired by the outdoor rug project, I think I will be attempting to make one this weekend..thanks for the idea 🙂

Where did you get your rug?
Any certain fiber type?
Debbie I found the rug at World Market.
I’m sure excited to see your rug idea! I love it!
I haven’t been able to find an affordable rug for my screened in porch.
We are going to be taking down a chain link fence and replacing it with a new wood fence. I think it will be a fun project.
Signed up ; Swing set upholstery is my favorite diy summer project.

love this rug!! pretty colors!
my bff, who i have been trying to get interested in crafting for quite a while, is all excited for us to make adirondack chairs next month! i think i can talk her into more from there….
I’m obsessed with this! I wanted to paint the actual cement on our patio, but hubs wasn’t into that idea! Lol! So this is the perfect project for me!!!
One question though: where did the rug come from and how much was it? Was it also from Home Depot? I didn’t see anything about it in your post, but I’m reading from my phone and may have missed something!
Thank you for the project and gift card opportunity!
That’s such a fun project and it looks great! It adds so much to your outdoor space!

I love your no sew pillows! Crafting can take a lot of time and I like when I can find quick ways to make an impact in my house!
Like the others, I wasn’t able to sign up for the fan program – I googled it and went to their website but still wasn’t able to locate it.
The no sew pillows are my fave. Thanks for another great idea!
I love this rug for my back deck Hope to make one soon!
love your rug! The link for the fan club doesn’t seem to be working though?
My favorite is the autumn/pumpkin burlap print. Your burlap projects are very inspiring!
Love how your rug turned out!
The colors are awesome! Love the no sew pillows.
The link for the fan club didn’t work for me, it keeps rerouting me back to this blog post when I click on it. My fav summer project is the freezer paper USA print!

I have been looking for the perfect outdoor rug. It never occurred to me to make my own! I am going to have to do this! I am also have trouble finding the Home Depot Fan Program. I even googled it and came up with nothing!
Loving the rug!! The colors you chose are fantastic as well. I am having the same issue as Lauren, the link to join HD Fan Page is not directing me there.
My favorite is the Easy and No Sew Pillows
The rug has my vote for the best!
