Found this awesome Rug Pillow DIY Project by Martha Stewart and did an aphan version of it!
Instead of using an Ikea rug I just found a cheaper rug made of recycled fabric (I liked the texture better) and sewed away!
Hope this works for you!

LOVE it!!!
Love it! Where did you find the rug?
My goodness! Sorry for the late response! If you live near a Chinatown (I life in SF) you can always find these ‘rag rugs’ in Asian variety shops for like $5-10. If you are not near these kind of shops then there are some on ebay or amazon.
Here are some links for you since you’ve waited so long:

Thanks for asking Gabby!
