Dye Rug

do anyone know how i can paint or dye a a canvas drop cloth to make it out of a rug?

I have been looking for a rug for about 4 months to go with the theme in my front room but I could not find that perfect one, so I thought of how can I get a rug to go with my them so I put my creative mind to work and decided to make a rug out of a canvas drop cloth which painters use to catch paint =, but my question is how can I dye of paint the canvas so that it will stay and if water is wasted on it the paint will not was away?

Paint

You will need to stretch the canvas out and apply a coat of Gesso ( available at any art store). Make sure to coat the canvas evenly and well but do not let it get too thick. Once dry you can then use acrylic paint.

Dye
Wash the canvas and then use fabric dye (follow directions on the package).

I would suggest the first method as it will make the canvas water proof and easy to clean. Just do not apply the paint or gesso too heavy as it can flake off.
