When I got started as a custom rug maker, I admit I was in it for the money and a much needed career change. Since then I've had decorative rugs featured in Designer Showcase Homes, Corporate Headquarters of numerous Fortune 500 Companies, and even a Generals office in the Pentagon. It's been a great ride. But what if you don't care about all that, maybe you don't want a career change? What if you're just looking for a creatively rewarding hobby that'll blow the socks off your friends or family? Here's a quick guide to decorative rug making in 5 easy steps.

When we think of arts and crafts, many of us would fondly remember bringing old newspaper, colored paper, glue, scissors and water colors to make a paper plate or paper cup at school. Arts and crafts delight people of young and old and generally bring pleasant memories. Today, there are many arts and crafts stores and workshops that host these projects and at the same time they sell the items associated with each art and craft project made with one's hands and skills. Arts and crafts are something that can stimulate a child's creativity and expand its sense of adventure.

How many little masterful works of art do you currently have in your home? Whether your child attends preschool or kindergarten or is home schooled, arts and crafts are a natural part of any curriculum. What do you do with these masterpieces? Most are proudly displayed on refrigerator doors. But you can take it a step further and create clever displays for your child's art work. The best part of course is that your child can help you with this special little project in your home.

Decorative painting is an approach to interior design that spans the globe and traverses countless centuries. Decorative painting has experienced a resurgence of popularity in recent years. Faux painting and murals have become common in businesses and in homes. Decorative painting can create a theme in your interior design that includes every aspect of the environment: walls, curtains, furniture and other accessories can be coordinated for a stunning effect in any room.
