Here are some things to think about...

It's all about Shapes, Lines & Textures

Remember, making tufted art has its limitations.  So things like defined, simple shapes are important.  If a picture is made from watercolor or any other textured medium, like finger painting, the final result can vary.

Same goes for line work.  Make sure the lines in your child's art piece are not too thin.  Learn more below.

Defined Shapes

This is a great example of what works best.  Simple shapes + solid colors = clearly definded shapes.. and a great rug piece.

but remember,

THE SMALLEST DETAiLS...

(like the black outlines of this kitty)


...will determine how small the artwork can be sized. If we try to make the piece too small, the outlines will appear thicker than the original drawing.


Because the smallest details can only shrink down to the thickness of a single thread of yarn.

Strokes = Texture

Most kid's aren't coloring between the lines.  We get it.  But we are here to help fully realize your child's expression.  So we give them a little help by filling in the blanks and bringing their vision to life.  Each individual brush or crayon stroke will be translated into a solid color.

Blending & Transparencies 

For more abstract pieces with alot of overlapping paint or marker transparencies, try to imagine what the piece will look like using only solid colors.
