Sometimes you're working on a DIY project, and it turns out entirely different than what you planned. That's what happened with these rugs!

DIY Projects That Started Out as Rugs And Became Something Else Entirely

Rugs are a surprisingly good foundation for a variety of DIY projects; they provide automatic shape, structure and texture upon which to build. Flat-woven ones in particular tend to be affordable, durable and often feature pretty patterns. I would have dreamed of turning a rug into a dress — until I came across from brilliant tutorials from brilliantly creative minds. Check out some amazing DIY projects made with simple rugs:
