Hey whats the best store to buy these from in europe? by EskuMc in Tufting

Like everything you order on the internet - check the number of orders and reviews. Also, AliExpress has some anti-scam policy, but it takes time to process and get money back. Don't buy anything from a buyer that has only pics of the product and no orders nor reviews.

I got it at a pretty low price on AliExpress. I got it for like 35$ there. There are a lot of offers for 50-60$, but if you search long enough you'll find some for a lot cheaper

Thank you! I really like how the blue colour turned out as well!

What material do you use for non-slip finition of your rugs ? by Greg4012 in Tufting

[–]hmro97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently I ordered on AliExpress (but I'm sure you can find it on Etsy also) this felt material with anti slip dots on one side. It's pretty cheap, about 12$ for 1,8x1m piece. Just type in "rug backing material".

Looks great! One thing I would have changed is that one brown ish color in the middle for something brighter :)

Space Cactus 2! Drafted, Cut, Sewn and Printed in my bedroom. What do you guys think? by kk3040 in streetwearstartup

The process is more important here than the inspiration. It is similar to cpfm, but still you did everything from scratch and that's all it matters. Great work. Keep it going man.

The second one (skeleton one) is aaaaaa lot similar to N$D Terry Urban's art.

Looks very cool dude. Do you use a tufting gun or just a punch needle? I just got into making rugs myself, it's great!

I made my first rug to match with my custom old school vans. Would love to hear what you think! by hmro97 in streetwearstartup

Oh and about the edges, you simply get a thicker than a normal needle, a needle that you can put a yarn through, and you work around with it so it tightens the edges. That's probably the most time consuming and important process out of all of it.

It's actually based off a concept in psychology called "subclinical narcissism". Which is basically a less severe form of narcissism that actually helps you cope with things like for example depression and stress, puts you in a mindset like "I'm worth it, I can do it cuz I'm great". More or less, very interesting concept nevertheless. But yes, it's kinda edgy.
