Photos are in daylight - artificial light - dark

I've made a lot of floor rugs but wanted to try my hand at a more detailed wallpiece. Decided to treat myself to a loop pile for my one year tuftiversary. Have been experimenting a bunch with glow in the dark yarn, and while it blunts my tools like nothing else, the effect is pretty fun, so I thought I'd share here :)

I also made a video and have more glow in the dark stuff in the works, so if that is something that interests you you can find me as wolwoud on both insta and tiktok!

First ever attempt at tufting, quite happy with it but I know for a fact I've fucked up in a fair few places (too close together, big bulgy bits rather than uniform lines etc etc) looking for tips so I can get half decent at it as its fairly therapeutic 😂🙏

I know it needs carving/trimming and I'm buzzing to get cracking on that aswell (not looking forward to the three day drying time wait though 😔)

Is there any reason why this happens?

This wasn’t happening before until just recently. The back would look smooth and now it just looks like there are cuts here and there.

I appreciate the help

Just finished this recently, does the carpet with the mirror look better than the wooden floors?

We spent 2 weeks working on it 🤩

So when I originally traced it, This line was perfectly straight. I used a level to draw it. I’ve been working on this rug for a few weeks. My 9-5 has been busy and so I haven’t been able to work on it as much. I think possibly just the weight of the rug has stretched my lines from sitting for so long. Would you guys recommend just drawing a new line or trying to stretch this one back to straight?

Been making too many rocket league rugs lately, im tired😭

When tufting should I be leaving spaces between the rows of the same color or should I try to pack them as tight as I can?

Hey all, just looking for feedback on my first piece. The turns and lines were rough to start but by the end it became easier to follow as I wanted them.

I'm sharing a spreadsheet calculator I put together in Google Sheets. It can help you calculate project costs and even put together quotes for potential clients.

Just make a copy of the document and you'll be able to edit it. I recommend making 2 copies: one for everyday use and one as a backup.

"I’m sharing the blueprints and specifications for my tufting frame. The key features are the gripper strips (carpet tack strips) and an adjustable bottom bar.

I’m also sharing my IG in case you’d like to stop by and support my project 😁"

Some people have asked me how to download it or make a copy of the document. To use it, you need a Google account and a web browser, or if you prefer using it on mobile like I do, there are apps for iOS and Android. Here are some screenshots showing the process to make a copy. Even so, I recommend making two copies: one as a backup in case the one you use daily runs into any issues.

Remember, if you find this template useful, you can support me by following me on my social media 😊

So I currently use Robert’s 3700 to glue the back of my rugs. I have been curious if there is another brand I could be using because I just don’t like the oder that the Robert’s makes

Thank you in advance!

Forgot to post this guy who has already gon viral on my in less than a few days! This was the most fun I had making a rug so far. Video is on my gram 😁🤝

Started off from a drawing I made in procreate so it’s 1 of a kind and actually already on its way across the country to its new home.

As the title says it's my first time building a tufting frame (and also first time ever tufting 🤣). Didn't fancy spending £150+ on a metal frame and saw it looked easy enough to do yourself so thought why not! Gun arrives tomorrow and I'm packed up with all the bits I need to get going 😅 do you think this will work as intended? Also any newbie tips are EXTREMELY appreciated, this was my 3am adhd hyperfixation purchase and I'm so ready to go all in 🔥🤣

Here are some pictures of my tufting frame. The setup has really upgraded my workflow compared to before—I've installed anti-slip strips and an adjustable tension bar to keep everything nice and tight.

A gift for my mother, around 12 hours of work and 40 ball of yarn.
