TUFTING for my first POP UP SHOP! | 22 RUGS in 48hrs | Sam Made That

- This week I did a whole lot of tufting for my very first pop up shop! I've been rug tufting for almost a year now but my inventory was pretty low which means I had to crank out alot of new pieces in a very short amount of time, basically 2 days!
In two days I made-
8 small wall rugs
1 large wall rug
4 tufted mirrors
and 9 popsockets!
That's two days to tuft, glue, back, finish and trim everything!
TIP: Use a fan to help dry your glue faster when you're in a time crunch!

Hi I'm Sam! I'm a painter and textile artist based in Dallas, Texas. Here on my channel I make art, rugs (rug tufting) and what ever else may come to mind! I hope you join me to see what I make next and maybe make something yourself! #SamMadeThat - Jak na to + styl
Literally me just now: “Oooh, it’s a popsocket, that is cuuuute, I HATE YOU!!”
Why did I say that out loud, and so _aggressively_ ,like, that was uncalled for, I’m so sorry.
LOL I take that as the highest of compliments 😂 so thank you!
Hate is just Displaced love. That all 💁🏾♂️
I'm preparing for my first market season. This was so helpful in showing me what kind of variety of product I can offer with tufting! I love your videos- they've been really instrumental in showing me the basics! (Also, you make my seven year old laugh- so that's a bonus.) Thanks!!
Your content is so personal and relatable. I don't feel like I'm being talked down to or in a condescending way, I feel like I'm sat with a friend and we are just laughing and chatting along the way!!! LOVE it. PLEASE keep up the good work!
That’s so sweet, Thank you so much! I’ll do my best 💪
Knowledge and experience gained is never time wasted !!!! WoW thanks so much 💕💕💕
“You don’t have to make it perfect, you just have to make progress” damn yall are inspiring the hell outta me I can’t wait to start my tufting journey! 🩵 thank you for this content .
I would love to see a video on your finishing technique! I haven’t seen anyone fold them back like you do
I plan to do one! I first learned of it from AJ Makes, they have a lot of tufting info on their channel!
Gotta love the hustle! Big love from London keep doing your thing 😉
Love your video I'm new to tufting and when I saw the possibilities I could do I got so excited. Eager to get started. You've got a new subscriber
I want to buy one of each of those products. Each look so good. Love this video. And love the advice at the end.
I admire that you didn’t give up. Wow that’s inspiring you kept going despite the frustration of going through that trouble !!! Rugs look amazing btw
Definitely my new favourite CZcamsr! You have such a fun vibe. Can’t wait to see more
😭😭😭 thank you!
Oh God. Thanks for motivation!
I bad now English, so my comment in Russian:
Я уже 2 месяца жду свой инструмент (тафтинговый пистолет), и мне обещают его привезти только в конце мая 😩
За это время я узнала всю теорию о коврах, ковровой вышивке, продажах и прочем. Из-за того, что так долго не могу приступить к практике, начинаю сомневаться, бояться и начинаю терять уверенность в том, что всё получится. Спасибо за мотивацию и за такие, казалось бы, элементарные советы об уходе за инструментом, о режиме сна и о питании 👍
It is so exciting to learn a new skill, do not get discouraged even if it may seem difficult at first! Good Luck!
I'm a simple Sam. I saw a Sam, she's a creative self-made boss, I clicked subscribe.
YAY! Sams Club lol
Super dope content! Very helpful! Thank you!
Subscribed, I love how you motivating and showing your mistakes
Thank you for the awesome advice. I love your channel
Oh my goodness, I LOVE your work!
Thank you ❤️
Love your space. Love the baby. Love your work! 💕
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I just got my tufting gun today Im excited to learn and make. I glad I found your page!
Yay!! Welcome to the Tufting Club!
Looks awesome!!! Good job 👏
Thank you! 😊
Your work is great
Much blessings and courage for your business
Love your videos! ❤
you deserve so many more views fr. keep it up ❤️🔥
Your videos are so well made! Hype that I found your channel. Your channel is gonna blow up in no time
Also, what camera are you shooting with?
Thank you! 😭 this channel is my first try shooting and editing so that means a lot to me. I shoot on a Sony ZV-1.
Is soo cool you make rugs now!!! I remember seeing you perform at the Pin Show in Dallas. I still keep Spctrm in rotation.
Aw man good times! I still enjoy music but I’ve shifted back to my visual art roots ❤️
Neat video. I was curious because I had never even heard of a "pop-up shop" before. Seems like a nice little program to help others as well as be seen.
It really is! It’s especially helpful when you don’t have a brick and mortar store. You might be able to find some in your area, sometimes they’re called markets!
@@SamMadeThat I didn't realize that until I watched your video. It is much like a craft fair or open market, just the unique name got me.
Amamos tus trabajos y lo que transmites, excelente tus videos! Saludos desde argentina 🇦🇷
¡muchas gracias!
hey, great video !!
This is the most me thing I've ever seen. Only difference is I skip the "remember to eat" part lol
Looks good
Hey! I’m in Dallas too!
997 Great job! You're almost there!
So close!
"Knowledge and experience gained is never a time wasted" is my new laptop wallpaper
❤️
Recently just joined the tufting community myself and found your video! They look great! But I have to admit I got semi-distracted by the pin badges on your denim jacket lool, do you know where they're from? Cool work though thanks for sharing
Hello, love the videos so informative. You said before you price by square foot. Can you do a video on how you figure that out for irregular shapes
Even with irregular shapes I price using the longest measurements. An irregularly shaped piece that takes up a 2ft x 3ft space on my frame is still priced like a full edge to edge 2ft x 3ft. 1. it’s still using that amount of materials, and 2.irregular pieces are often harder to prep and finish. But size is just the base price though some pieces that are the same size may be priced differently based on the level of detail and intricacy.
I aspire to be like you!! Soon on God's perfect time! ✨ Thank you for your wonderful video♥️
You got this ❤️❤️🙏🏽
love your channel ❤️
what did you use to cut the hardboard? love this method of backing!
A table saw for straight cuts and a jigsaw for intricate shapes!
bummer about forgetting to flip the image, i've been there but with hand punch needling! I usually just sell them at a discount depending on what the image was or give them to fam/friends because they're always happy for a freebie! haha Nice work and fun vid :)
Yea thankfully can just pull all the fibers and reuse the fabric! Thank you!
Oh my gosh i love you already 😍😘🙏💞
Thank you 🥰
Can you show more details of how to make a fringe?
I don't know that I'm the best person to do that since I don't honestly know that I'm doing it exactly right lol the technique I'm using is latch hooking. I'm just using longer pieces of yarn.
What kind of yarns would you recommend? Thanks!
Hiii! First off, love your videos and your process of making art, literally obsessed with your videos... I need to know where you got that case for your tufting gun. I’ve searching endlessly on amazon for a heavy duty camera with foam inserts and they’re similar but most of them are too bulky, too big, too small and I haven’t found one that I like yet. Yours looks perfect and would love it if you’d let me know where you got it! 😌❤️
Thank you!! ❤️ that case is actually an old music case that i had, I just got foam inserts for it! I did get a different case for my loop pile gun from a hardware store called Harbor Freight, it’s a weatherproof protective case. It is pretty bulky but it came with foam inserts and fit my gun and all the cords easily!
So I have a question like did you throw away all that material I just bought my first tufting gun I have not done it I'm sure this will be the video that comes to mind when I remember to flip the image great video by
It's almost 2 o'clock and I'm still watching your tutorials. Would you also like to share how you installed the black fringe @09:54 ? Do we just loop it? Or how? Love how it looks. Also love your "What does the back look like" tutorial!
I added that by latch hooking longer pieces of yarn into the backing. You can kinda see it at 06:24 but if you just search latch hooking tutorials you can find clear instructions. If you want to do this you’ll have to do it before you glue the back or avoid putting glue on the sections you want to add it to! ❤️❤️❤️
@@SamMadeThat thank you! I had no idea what to call it in English. Do you perhaps also have some pointers on how to frame your artwork? I mean, do we just finish it with one of the methods you shared and hotglue it to the back panel of a regular frame or is there a better way I'm not seeing?
I noticed you clip in between colors. Is it best this way or clip once all finished?
I love watching a video and my music shows up!! Thanks fam!! 6:10
Omg 😱 your tracks are some of my favs on Epidemic Sound!
this made me feel so much better about not flipping my image earlier thank you lol
I was tufting yesterday and still didn’t flip lol literally happens like 1 out of every 5 times I tuft. I’m gonna have to write it directly on my frame or something lol
Love your video. I just entered the tufting world. So far invested $1200 waiting on my gun to come. Do you find wool is better than acrylic to tuft with
While I haven’t had much experience with wool I would suggest starting with acrylic until you get the hang of your tufting gun simply from a cost stand point. I have had no issues using acrylic, granted most of my work is for wall application. I have a few floor rugs that are almost a year old now that have held up beautifully.
I love it! Can you please tell me what's the name of the tool you used on min. 6:43? :) :) :)
It’s a latch hook tool! The technique is called latch hooking and is another way you can make rugs and fiber art
Hi what do you with the Cyrus monks cloths hanging on the side ? Do you used to make something smaller ?
If it’s a big enough piece I use it on my small 14in frame otherwise smaller scraps just get tossed for now.
omg the pop socket! so fucking cute
Weird question: how’d you find you’re art studio storage space ? I was looking at storage units but majority don’t have electricity. I’m new to it all and don’t know the right things to search as far as renting out a space correctly to have as my studio on the go etc lmk Tysm
Unless that’s apart of your home 🥹
I find it funny how many people say that they love the Robert's glue because it stays sticky. I use Robert's glue and my spray adhesives only. The Robert's glue isn't sticky if you actually let it dry. It remains sticky until it actually dries. It says right on the glue that it needs up to 48 hours for curing, but people keep trying to progress a few hours later. (And if your weather/temperature isn't ideal, it could be longer) My glue is not sticky, at all, when I continue with my rugs.
You are correct! It does take up to 48 for full cure so “stays tacky” should probably be extended to “stays tacky for longer”. I personally prefer to work with it when it still has a bit of that tack to make use of its adhesive qualities before it fully cures to fold in the edges so that it removes the extra step of spray gluing/hot gluing them down.
Love your peaces. Can I ask How do you Attach The canvas to The woodenfarme?
It’s actually primary tufting cloth, canvas is not suitable for tufting! There are carpet tack strips around the edge of the frame and that’s what the fabric hooks on to.
@@SamMadeThat thank you. That helps alot🙂 Hope I Can find them in Denmark😉
Hey! I love the video. I'd like to try tufting by myself but I find it very difficult to find a right canva on european sites. Can someone recommend me a good canva for tufting that is sent from Europe?
Thank you! You might try Etsy, there might be a few sellers closer to you.
How do you make mirrors? Do you just stick the adhesive directly on the edge of the mirror?
Yup! I have a whole video on it on my channel!
Do you use roberts 6700 or 3095? I’m making a rug for my mom and don’t know which one to get
I use 3095! I think the only difference in the two is that 6700 can be used for outdoor applications as well as indoor. So either will work and I've seen other tufters use both.
Is that a onewheel 0:16
Thanks for the nice explanation I have been searching for a while how to get this machine because it is not available in my country. Can you send it to Syria and how much does it cost and the shipping fees?
I do not sell these tools.
i love how fun and colorful you are. i subbed to you on ig and noticed a friend of mine who does acting follows you. so sick to see my worlds collide. i'm gonna pretend you two are buddies.
Thanks for joining me over here too! ❤️
Where did you get your tufting gun case?
It’s an old music case for like DJ equipment. But I also have found heavy duty weatherproof tool cases at Harbor Freight that I use for my other machines!
2:03 Gorgeous…. You could have used a set of hair clippers to trim off the non glued wool, instead of having to draw all over or waste material 💡😘
Oh I for sure didn’t waste it! I’ve pulled all the fibers out now and have it ready for another project 😊
Hello! What is the product you are using @ 1:14, and what did you oil your gun with?
Hi! That is the Knit Picker Yarn Winder, I got it on Amazon for like $20. I use sewing machine lubricant to oil my gun.
you're beautiful, a working mom, you're hard working. what a role model! btw, how did tou hang your tufted pieces?
Awwww thank you! I mostly use one of two methods, a soft felt backing with a d-ring or a hardboard backing with a sawtooth hanger. I’ll be posting a video in a couple weeks showing exactly how to do it so stay tuned! ❤️
where do you purchase all your yarn?
Typically Joann Fabrics or Michael’s, or if I need a specific color I use yarnspirations.com !
im doing my first pop up shop at a market. kinda nervous. How well did you do on yours? any pointer?
I did pretty well on mine! It sounds simple but really just talk to people. Not be pushy but if they get close enough introduce yourself, talk a little bit about your work/process. If you tuft or make something the average person at the market probably hasn’t seen before ask them if they’re familiar with it. If they aren’t, tell them a bit about what goes into making it. If they are, ask them about their process.
Make your display as eye catching as you can. If you have some of your raw materials bring those as extra decor. Find ways to add levels to your display and try to bring your work into people’s sight line instead of just letting things sit flat on your table.
Make sure you have cards or at least a sign with your socials and website so people can find you after! Good luck!
I know this video is wild old but I am literally in the exact same boat right now I’m trying to pump out 15 😭😭 5 big ones, 10 little ones shits in 4 days
How many hours a day can you use a tofting gun, so that it does not spoil quickly?
I’m really not sure. They are industrial tools meant for long work days so I imagine they’d be fine but definitely keep an eye it and make sure it’s not over heating. But also take breaks for yourself as tufting can put a lot of stress on your wrists and hands.
Hi! It's me again, do you order your yarns by sets? I'm trying to start a rug tufting business and I'm still canvassing for good quality yarns.
Hi! So right now I use the Big Twist brand from Joann Fabrics. I usually just buy a bunch when they go on sale. It’s acrylic yarn which I feel is fine for me since most of what I do is for wall display. I know some people prefer wool yarn for floor rugs. I’ve purchased some wool yarn from tuftinggun.com that I plan to fully test but from first impressions it is good quality and comes in beautiful vibrant colors. Downside is that wool yarn is way more expensive than acrylic so you’ll need to bump up your final price accordingly.
@@SamMadeThat ppl looking for ethically source wool from new zealand can just keep looking. the ppl i plan on selling to will be perfectly fine with acrylic yarn at the price point i'm aiming for. if they want want $35/yd tufting material using wool, glued with $70 a gallon latex and professionally serged edges, they're not getting that for what i'm selling for! lol.
but, i'm aiming for lightly used functional floor rugs for the most part, with a life expectancy of 3-5 years (kinda making that number up) before they get bored looking at their decorative item and pack it up. i reckon by five years the acrylic yarn, which is essentially spun plastic, will start breaking down. i'm not making $6K rugs meant to be family heirlooms here, lol.
The two floor rugs you see in my final reveal are almost a year old now and both are acrylic and have held up wonderfully in a moderate traffic area. I could definitely see the lasting a few more years baring some super messy accident lol
@@SamMadeThat that's good to know because no one has ever actually talked about longevity. the tuft the world/tuftinggun guy, i think his name is tim eads, said wool is the way to go. well, sure, if you can afford it and your clients are okay with the price, lol. he's probably right when he says acrylic strands will break down, but even he didn't mention how long the 'average' rug would last in the real world. he seems to have a lot of disdain for acrylic yarn -- then again he's trying to sell wool yarn and maybe why he doesn't mention how long it lasts is because it could be a very good value for the price difference.
when it comes to cleaning, i'm going to tell people cold water, mild detergent, hand wash, and air dry. i plan on doing some experiments (if my gun ever arrives! lol), one of those will be dryer with no heat.
My very first rug, I flipped the image on my computer and totally didn't notice that my projector was set to mirror the image, I was maybe 10% through tufting before realizing the text was wrong. I am very conscious of it now, lol
Hey there! Could you tell me which glue you use?
Hi! I use Roberts 3095 but I have also used the Bond 1132 adhesive as well as a standard pva glue.
@@SamMadeThat thank you for your response!
Where can one learn tufting in dallas???
I need an answer to my question. I would love a class to see how I could do, but where in dallas????
I learned on my own just from what little I could find in the internet. But I’m hoping to start hosting workshops next year!

🤦🏾♂️ learning from beauty,
What type of yarn is that?
I use acrylic yarn.
Gostaria muito de comprar uma pistola dessa? Me ajuda?
Hello, how do you determine the price of each rug you make?
I base my prices on the size/materials used and labor.
Creativehiveco.com has a really helpful pricing guide on how to price handmade items!
@@SamMadeThat Thanks :)
what type of yarn you use ?
Acrylic!
@@SamMadeThat thank you so much i will receive my tufting gun soon and i'm sooo excited!!! plus your art is amazing i would love to watch more videos in your channel ❤️❤️
Realizing am supposed to flip my image after tufting 3 rugs 😳 but they ain't gotta know 😁
Glue gloves yes.
Yup. Sometimes those spatulas snag on the yarn. Plus I like that I can really work the glue in with my hands.
I finished my first rug last week and noticed that same thing. I went from foam roller to naked fingers. After I was done, I decided my next move was rubber spatula but somehow entirely forgot that gloves exist. 😅 DONE
Congratulations! A big thick paintbrush works too, like the ones at the hardware store not a fine art/craft brush. But yea with glues you don’t have to remember where you put your spatula or worry about cleaning them off afterwards.
Flip your image !!! i hate when i do the same thing 😭😭😭
1:34 free top g
You're beautiful.😘 I just came across and subscribe immediately, I love your work...
Let me know if you ever want to trade rugs I would love to have one of your pieces and then you could have one of mine or I can do a custom for you! Other artists need love too, you know! I play your stuff in the background literally while I’m punchneedling or tufting, I just love your vibe and support your creativity and awesome oh so artistic brain
I'll check yours out! thank you so much 😊
I like you.
