I  spent last month making two vinyl rugs for our newly refurbished patio.   We had some leftover vinyl from a renovated bathroom.  I flipped the vinyl over, cut rugs to size, and painted the designs to go with our blue patio furniture (and green gardens and grass).   I really don’t know whether or not this is going to work.  I used house paint primer follow by latex house paint (you can’t get oil paints any longer).  Then I topped them with a coat of MinWax poly urethane (oil base for durability).  We’ll see how long they last and how well they resist wear.  The rugs measure 3.5 x 5.5 (bottom) and 3.5 x 4.5  (top) for two conversation areas on the patio.   When we get the patio all finished (with new throw cushions), I’ll include a photo of the whole thing.<\/p>\n

5\/2015 — We discovered that the rugs were scarily slippery when wet — not great for a patio beside our pool.  Non-skid rubber spray worked marvelously well.  6\/2017 Here’s a photo I found from 2015 — I have absolutely no idea who the people are nor the event.  It doesn’t look like much fun, but the rugs look terrific.  After three years they are still going strong.<\/p>\n
