So this was my first time tufting and it was a lot of fun! This is the gun I used to make my Youves/Tezos wall-hanging carpet coins:
If you're wondering what Tezos & Youves are, check out my previous post:

The first step was to draw the design in reverse on the back of the canvas with the help of a projector:
Practicing how to use the gun (can you guess which one is the teacher's?):
You can see how it looks much better on the other side:
This part was definitely the most fun!
And I learned a new skill!
Now to give it a backing...
I love how it turned out!
Let's give them a trim...
Then spent about an hour and a half trimming edges with scissors. This is the final result:
I definitely encourage you to give tufting a try if you haven't done it yet. Also, the irony of making a rug for a DeFi project is not lost on me.

Welcome to Inleo and Hive.
Been years since I was in Perth, worked there for a while with Woodside.
Great to see you using your own pictures and creating a story.
My wife is big into crochet so we have wool all over the fluffing place, and your pic got me intrigued.
When you post on InLeo try to get posts that read for about 2 minutes or more.
Yours is great with the pictures though, showing us what to do.
Let's hope that is the only rug that defi sees!
