KELLY EDWARDS: Hi. I’m Kelly Edwards, and here’s a GMC Trade Secret I bet you’ve never seen before. How about creating and painting your own design on an existing rug?

Now, the rug I have with me today is actually a sisal rug, which is great for painting on. Now, before I start painting on my rug, I actually drew out the design on some graph paper. That way I know exactly where I want to place all my tape. And speaking of tape, I have my painter’s tape with me. So I’m going to take my design. I’m going to take my painter’s tape as well as my measuring tape, and I’m going to start taping out right over my rug.

Okay, so my rug is taped and the design looks fantastic. So now I’m going to grab my paint and I’m going to grab my roller and I’m just going to paint over the entire rug.

All right, I think my painting is complete, so now it’s time to remove all the tape.

This looks awesome. Now, go ahead and try this out yourself.
