DIY Non-Slip Rug Mat from Old Yoga Mat

When I completed the master bathroom a couple weeks ago, I had a few lingering items on the to-do list.  The one I’m sharing today wasn’t on that list.  It wasn’t even on my radar until I went for a little ride on our cute new bathmat the other day.

So today I’m sharing a DIY non-slip rug mat from an old yoga mat for the slippery bathmat (that’s a lot of mats!).

The slippery bathmat was a surprisingly easy fix.  I had this old, thin yoga mat that came for free with a shoe purchase from DSW a couple years ago.  It actually traveled around the country with us last year on our 80-day road trip so I could do my post-run stretches in hotel rooms without touching the gross floors, but I had no need for it after we returned home.  It sat in a closet for a year, then it went to Goodwill.  Except the Mister somehow forgot to get it out of the car, so it came back.  I then decided I’d keep it because surely I could come up with a use for it.

Enter the slippery bathmat.  And a pair of scissors.

DIY NON-SKID RUG BACKING FROM OLD YOGA MAT

I simply rolled the yoga mat out and trimmed it down to size, using the bathmat as a template.

This is a great – and free – non-skid upgrade to the cute bathmat.

While the yoga mat was a pretty thin, lousy mat, especially on hardwood floors, it combines nicely with the bathmat to create a softer, cushier respite for our feet than the bathmat did on its own.

There you have it!  An easy DIY non-skid rug mat from an old yoga mat.  One more thing checked off the to-do list, but many remain…
