I have a 6′x9′ sisal rug with a 1″ cotton black border that has been faded by the sun in places. The sisal still looks great, but the border looks grayish and dull. Is it possible to dye it at home without going to a rug professional?

Dip it in india ink. (Art supply) Squeeze out well the excess. Let dry out good. This is permanent. Use rubber gloves and be careful not to get on other parts of the rug. Do this outdoors to be safe.
Try on a small portion FIRST to make sure this will work on your material.

liquid shoe polish or marker pen

shoe polish brushed on the border should help it a lot. That is the easy way.

Permanent Black marker.. make sure it’s the permanent kind.. I used several on an unevenly dyed carpet of mine.. still trying to find a matching plum color though
Very little fuss, very good results
