Tuft a Rug, Where Creativity Meets Craftsmanship

Tuft A Rug, the latest attraction at Fox Valley Mall, lets you dive into the colorful world of rug tufting, offering endless design options to create your own masterpiece.

Participants are guided through each step of the process. As described, It's like coloring in your own coloring book, but with a thrill—the AK-1 pile machine acts as your ultimate tool, much like a crayon.

"It's basically like a handheld sewing machine," explains Keaton Wade, the founder. "At first people walk in like woah, this is scary because of the machine, and then they start doing it and they're like oh wow.'"

During the process, you become fully absorbed in the design. "It's very therapeutic," said Keaton. "It takes a little time. So you just start to get very creative, picking out your design and making sure everything is perfect."

The workshop can last anywhere from 1 to 6 hours and costs between $40 to $150, depending on the rug's size. "They range anywhere from our smallest size, the mini rug, at 15 x12 inches, to our largest at 35 x 32 inches," adds Keaton.

Keaton Wade is the founder and says the idea came during COVID-19 while passing time.

"I saw it on TikTok, people making their own rugs, doing some fun stuff. So I ordered the equipment and started in my garage, just doing very abstract stuff."

Being in Fox Valley Mall feels like a full-circle moment for Keaton. As a kid, he and his friends used to visit, and now having a store there amazes him.
Keaton reflects on the community's positive response, expressing, "We've gotten a great response from the community, it's been great. We've been so grateful to have people come and to see that feedback, it feels good."

Whether it's a solo adventure, a memorable date night, or a night out with friends, Tuft A Rug offers a creative escape for individuals looking to unleash their artistic side. Plus, with the recent introduction of a party room option, groups can now enjoy their own exclusive space, bringing along their favorite food, drinks, and music.
