I know what you're thinking... "Paint? On a rug?? That's crazy talk!" But, it's a great way to add some interest to an otherwise plain and boring rug -- without breaking the bank (or going out and buying a new one)!

Kara Paslay found this humongous pink rug at a Habitat for Humanity ReStore for a mere $15. Wanting something with a bit more oomph, she decided to add this bold, colorful starburst pattern! Check out how she did it over on her blog Kara Paslay Designs.
