Old Towel to a Moustache Floor Mat

During one of my random instagram stalking session, i stumbled upon a picture of a really cool floor mat in the shape of a moustache. I instantly decided i'm going to make one for myself. Using a towel was my first thought, so i stayed with that. Searched the house for an old black towel but didn't find any, so i asked my mom if i could use one of the darker shaded towels she had. Well, as expected, she warned me of dire consequences if i cut any of her new towels :P Thus i ended up using a old red towel and came up with this funny looking floor mat :)

1. A towel
2. A jute sack
3. Old book covers
4. Sewing machine
5. Chalk
6. A pair of scissors
7. pencil
8. stapler

1. I used the outer covers of 3 old books and fixed them together by stapling them as seen in the picture.
2. Using a googled picture of a moustache as reference i roughly drew a moustache.
3. What you have to keep in mind while sketching the moustache is- the fat 2 parts of the moustache should be bigger than your feet.
4. Once i was satisfied with the proportions of the sketch, i cut it out.
5. Turns out , the book covers were quite colourful. It was a surprise seeing the other side of it.
6. So the template's done.

1. I placed the template on the towel and marked out the outline using a chalk.
2. Next step is to cut out the piece but remember keep extra spacing around the outline and cut.
3. TIP - the more the spacing around, the better. It can be trimmed later, according to the need.

1. Same procedure as done on the towel, place the template on the jute sack, outline it with a chalk and cut.
2. This time on the outline without the extra spacing.

Suggestion -

• If i would do this project again, i would use a rubber base, that is cut out the base from rubber sheets like car floor mats, etc.
• This would make the mat sturdier and hold shape better.

1. As you can expect, i placed the jute cutout on top of the towel cutout and started folding the towel along the jute sacks cutout.
2. I made flap like cuts a sharp curves to fold better.
3. Once in place, stitched them together neatly using the sewing machine.

• The last step left to do is- turn it over and put it down on the floor.
• ADMIRE IT :)

Hope you guys liked it, thank you :)
