\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAfter a hectic workweek, Hyderabad-based chartered accountants Deepika Mamidala and Sneha Mupparthi unwind with a rug tufting session at Artgram, a cosy art studio. Deepika, an art enthusiast, sees it as the perfect way to relax while spending time with friends. \u201cIt\u2019s so rewarding to create something with your own hands. Sure, you can buy a carpet or rug, but making one yourself is a completely different experience,\u201d she shares.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBusiness analyst and self-confessed Potterhead, Ratnamani Venisetty, recently tufted a 16×16-inch Harry Potter-themed rug for her two-month-old nephew, Aryan. However, she has not gifted it to him yet \u2014 she plans to complete the scene with a Gryffindor robe and a Hufflepuff t-shirt. Initially expecting a three-hour session, Ratnamani was pleasantly surprised to finish her piece in just 90 minutes, leaving her with extra time to tuft an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit rug. Ratnamani started tufting recently when when she saw a session online.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe creative and tactile experience of tufting a rug using a tufting gun is quickly gaining popularity in Hyderabad, a city increasingly embracing hands-on art and craft experiences. Participants can create everything from hearts and coasters to guitars, customise designs for gifts, or craft doormats and wall d\u00e9cor. With its blend of creativity and relaxation, rug tufting is proving to be more than just a trend.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
