In the latest episode of Activity Quest, Bex explores the art of tufting, a rug-making technique, at Tufting London!
Melissa explains that tufting is similar to punch needling but faster, allowing you to create a rug quickly!
The process involves sending in a design, choosing yarn colours, tufting, applying glue to the rugโs back, drying, attaching a non-slip backing, and shaving the rug for a smooth finish.
Plus, we guide you on creating a mini weaving loom at home using cardboard, yarn, and basic tools.
What is Tufting London?
Tufting is a modern take on the traditional craft of rug making. With this method you can create rugs, art pieces to hang on your wall or any fluffy and colourful thing you want to make!
Tufting London offers workshops and classes to help you create the rug of your dreams, solo or as a family.
How much is Tufting London?
