Tufting
Heard of tufting, the new DIY craze that has taken Singapore by storm?

Tufting is practised as a freeform method of rug-making for unique and personalised creations, such as rugs, coasters, or even mirror frames! Simply load the tufting gun, affix the rug to a wooden rack, and start tufting away.
