Do-it-yourself car mats

Car enthusiasts like it when the interior of their “iron horse” is beautifully and unusually designed. It turns out that you can make your own rugs in the car yourself. If you do everything right, then you will reliably protect the interior of the car from snow in winter and dirt in rainy times. Externally, these rugs will look no worse than store mats, and they have a longer working life than factory mats. So, how to make doormats in the car with your own hands? The procedure will be as follows.

Training

Any high-quality work on the manufacture of something begins with a thorough preparation. In this case, do the following:

1. Measure the floor of the car (and if necessary, then the bottom of the trunk).
2. Transfer the result to a piece of Whatman paper (A3 is enough).

Important! It is important to make patterns in advance, since you need to know how much material will be needed. The approximate amount of material that will be required for work is 1 m in length and 3 m in width. Can be used as patterns and old rugs.

The basis for car mats

It all depends on the climate and on what time of the year you operate the machine especially hard. To make doormats for the car with your own hands, such materials are suitable:

• textile based on rubber;
• polyurethane;
• rubber;
• multilayer textiles.

Important! Go to a specialty store to purchase a car fender. Ideally, if you find out the prices in several places and choose the most suitable option for yourself.

We cut a product

Now it's time to tackle the basics:

1. Lay out the base on the floor, place the pattern on top and circle the marker with a felt pen.
2. Cut the workpiece with a sharp knife, and give the lines smoothness with scissors.
3. If necessary, seal the edges with fire.
4. If we are talking about textiles, it should be treated with an overlock.

Important! It is very convenient to work with rubberized carpet - it almost does not crumble.

If you want to make textile edging around the edge of the mat, a sewing machine will help here. You can also contact the master.
