Children’s Drawings Turned into Rugs: Family Stories

“The rug is BEAUTIFUL! My daughter wants to be on it all the time and she is so proud of it!”

“We enjoy this carpet very much and our daughter is very proud of it. Many cannot believe it was her who painted it, because she was still very young… and the subject is not common for a 4 year-old… Then I always show the original picture and it is astounding how close the carpet is to the original. Thank you so much!” Customer from Switzerland.

“Thank you thank you! I was originally going to give it to my dad as a present but now my kids seem to want to keep it!” Customer from Hong Kong

“She LOVES it! Thanks so much for all your time. Please thanks the whole team who worked on it as well. Great job” Customer from Vietnam

“Oh Wow wow wow! Thank you! It looks incredible!!!” American actress Jamie Lynn Sigler had her son’s drawing of their family portrait turned into a beautiful custom rug for their family room.

“We have a family home where all our extended family go to every year to spend the Christmas holidays together. That is really the only time of the year we see everyone and it is so special. My son made this Santa Claus drawing while we were there. I loved it and contacted Rug Your Life. When the rug arrived, tt was unbelievable. Even though I knew it was coming, I was overwhelmed by the emotion. Needless to say, the rug has an honour spot in the living-room in our Christmas family home and absolutely all of us love it. Thank you so much. Memories have never been so tangible.” Lisa Wheler from Ireland

“Thanks so much! I truly do love your work. It’s artform with lots of talents behind it. It is perfect! I love how you traced back the little people. It’s so detailed.” Customer from Hong Kong who gave the rug as a gift to her friend in the United States

This young footballer and artist knew exactly what he wanted: one of the players had to be in both teams, because he was the best player and otherwise it would not be fair.

What a thoughtful surprise for this lucky father: his wife secretly asked us to turn this sweet drawing and note from their daughters into a very special rug for him. We still cannot believe the ladies of the house kept it a secret until the rug arrived.

“Omg It’s beautiful!!!! So perfect!! You’ve done an incredible job! So so exactly what he envisioned” Jeanine from Hong Kong

“Wow! OMG It’s adorable! They do look exactly like the pic the children drew. This is so amazing. Great job”! Customer from Canada

A rug that celebrates the creativity and individual style of two sisters, and where they now make new memories together. Combining their drawings means the mermaid of one sister plays with the walrus of the other; one sister’s princess steps out from behind the buildings of the other’s superheroine drawing; and one sister’s rooster walks around the rug next to the other’s fish.

A precious gift tradition in this family from Barcelona: when a child transitions from kindergarten to primary school, they get their very own rug made from their artwork. This rug is a combination of four paintings and their son’s name.

Elena drew what her future home on another planet will look like when she is an astronaut. There is a bedroom, a living room and even a garden, all connected by slides that go both up and down. Until she moves there, her parents want her to have her own planet in her bedroom (on Earth). We added a few more stars to the rug so that there is no doubt it is, indeed, in outer space.

“I made this rug for my children because I wanted them to know my love is always with them, wheverer they are. It will reach them and they will know. They are still little now, but some day, when they move out, they will know that this is what will never change. My love and kisses will be sent to them! This rug has such an important place in their childhood room. I could not imagine it without it anymore. The kisses and the clouds are on higher pile, which makes you feel you can almost grab them and keep them.” Jana from Germany

Why Turn Your Child’s Art into a Rug

What is not to love about the overflowing creativity and imagination of children? All those wonderful scribbles, paintings, drawings, colourings and first words: their thoughts, dreams and ideas, constantly put on paper.

You can celebrate that creativity by turning your children’s art into a rug more personal than anything you (or they) could have imagined. No bedroom feels quite like one where they can see, touch and feel their own art as their rug.

These rugs also make meaningful presents for the whole family.

Let’s weave about them.
