- Second step: designing the carpet and choosing the colors

Freehand or using a video projector, you can draw the design of the carpet on your canvas. If you have a drawing idea in mind and want to use the video projector, I will remind you to send me your model by email in PNG, PDF, JPG format a few days before the start of the course.

Some conditions for your carpet:

• Maximum 4 colors
