Although making rag rugs is a traditional and old craft, it has become quite popular in the last years. I believe that the reason for the interest in this old craft is because making rag rugs is quite environmentally friendly and inexpensive.

This practice is actually considered an art.

This makes it possible to continue painting from different angles. Other artists would rather set their palette on a table and mix paints that way. Tabletop palettes are usually larger and this feature allows the artist more room for mixing colors. Whichever position you choose for your palette beautiful rag rugs a matter of preference.

Anti-bacterial sprays and products specifically designed to do a certain job are also good essential cleaning supplies to have on hand. However, just because these products are on the market doesn't mean that you should use them; especially if you already have products that get the job done.

Shellac is nontoxic, very easy to apply and repair, and cleans up like a dream. But it does have one drawback; it doesn't hold up well to heat, liquids or scratches. One way around this is to use dewaxed shellac and cover with varnish. Applying shellac is time consuming but well worth the time and effort. Try it on your next project.
