A Custom Rug Inspired By Your Kid's Art
Filed under: Decor
Turn ordinary children's doodles into extraordinary custom rugs.
Tacking children's art onto one's fridge with a magnet is a classic way to display your little one's masterpieces. But if you have bigger plans for those crayon scribbles and watercolor blobs, we've got an idea for you.

How does it work? Simply send along an image of the art to Carpetzz.com either via an online order form or through the mail to the company headquarters in Germany.
About 10 weeks later the rug arrives at your doorstep. The price depends on the rug size, although according to the company it costs 150 euros per square meter, plus postage (that cost depending on the rug's weight and size). Rugs will ship to the U.S.
So, next time you're about to toss one of your kid's beloved finger paintings, take a second look: Could this little Jackson Pollack be ready to have his art turned into home decor?
