How to Bind Carpet Edges with Instabind || Simple, Quick, and Easy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- If you buy a carpet off the roll from your big box store, then most likely the edges of it have not been bound. Leaving the carpet edges unbound is a bad idea in the long run. The edges will start to fall apart and unravel, becoming worse over time from wear and tear. Especially if you have cats because they will mess with the carpet strings (definitely speaking from experience). Binding the carpet yourself is an incredibly easy DIY job and can be done with a pair of scissors, a glue gun, and the Instabind edge binding.

Wish I would have known this years ago.
Next week my cargo van will have a new removable carpet that will make my knees very happy.
Thank you.
Took me 3 times through the video to get some of the nuances - total noob - but got it. Thanks so much for posting this.
Thanks. I was looking at buying a rug for my basement and a little shocked with the prices. Then I had an idea to make my own, which led me here. Your video has given me the confidence to make my own and start shopping for carpet remnants instead to save a ton of $
That's what I like to hear 👏 Good luck!
Same here, 😊
Terrific video! You told us everything we needed to know without wasting any time or cutting corners.
Sweet! I was wondering how to do this. A friend of mine was doing electrical work for a casino and they had a bunch of extra carpet left over from doing the casino floor and I got a roll off it. This will be perfect 👍
Phenomenal video. Super helpful and easy to follow! Thanks!
Thank you. Excellent video; we had new capet laid throughout the house and had enough left over to make three runners. We're pleased with the results.
This is great easy and exactly what I was looking for.
Fab video! Easy and clear instructions and great tips!
Thanks heaps!
Thank you! Excellent, clear instruction
I like the binding color!
Very helpful and easy to follow. Thank you.
Thank you for this perfect example of the procedure. We installed new carpet recently and used a scrap for a runner, but our 9 month old wants to pull/eat the edges off 😂
I quite literally did this project that weekend because I was tired of yelling at my cats for pulling/eating the edges of the carpets
Thanks for the helpful information on how to bind carpet. Your video is a cut above the others on RUclips. :)
Straight to the point! Thanks bro.
You remind me of bootcamp wearing cammie trousers and go fasters. Great video!
Very helpful tutorial! Thanks for posting!
Great video and THANK YOU! You made it look so easy....dbl thumbs up!
Thanks for this,. I need to make custom runner for my enclosed porch because it's kind of a trapezoid shape and this helped out a lot
I will try it. Thanks so much for sharing. 👍
Super helpful video!
Fantastic tutorial . Thank you!
Thank u !! I had no idea I. Would do this yourself .
Great video just what I needed I'm going to make cargo mat for the rear area on a Ford utility police interceptor . Thanks
Very well done!

So cool! Ollie’s outlet has giant rug scraps but all the ones I want are unbound. This solves that!
Thank you so much for this! I live In a rental with all wood floors but I really hate wood and tile, i love carpet. But I cannot afford those giant area rugs. This is a perfect, affordable alternative!
Great Video !!
Perfect!
Exactly what I was looking for. I have a brand new roll of carpet in the garage from the previous owner which I can now use. Thank you so much. New subscriber.
Carpet isn't cheap, glad you're able to use it now!
@@thediygrunt true. And the ones that are affordable are cheaply made.
great job. thanks
Great video , THANKS !! :)
When I saw those "Light Duty" shoes, I knew why you had so much time on your hands to do interior decorating! 😅
Or, hear me out, maybe I'm wearing whatever I want because I am out and no longer lose all my free time to field ops and weekend staff duty
@@thediygrunt 😆 No joke. I'm hanging blinds tonight. In flight Deck boots! LOL smh.
0331 light duty had all the time in the world
1. Have any of you put hot glue on the edges of the carpet where you cut to avoid fraying before the binding is put on? 2. And what about Hot glue over the adhesive to make it stronger? Thanks
I have not done your first question though now I am interested to try that and see if it helps hold the binding together. As for number 2 I have done that when I have issues with the adhesive not sticking as well as I would like.
Thanks.
Great video! Thanks
Might be nice to show how you trim the carpet to a straight line. Im going to use a metal framing square and masking tape to mark the cut.
This video is geared more towards making my own rug ruclips.net/video/fRp0yKzZwnc/видео.html
Thank you.
You're welcome! Hope this video was helpful to you
I like the glue gun you used with small tip are those easy to find rather than the larger conical metal tips?
Seems to depend on the glue gun. I have a battery operated one that comes with a large and small tip. Then I have a corded that came with only a small tip.
Thanks. I could do this.
That's exactly the mindset I want you to get after watching my videos
Thanks for the video. Which of the Instabind binding styles did you use, "regular" style or perhaps "cotton binding" style? I ask because I ordered the "cotton serge" style, only to discover that the binding can't be pulled apart so I could cut the inner cord. Where your binding appears glued, mine was stitched. I'm willing to give it another try, but want to make sure I have the right style of binding.
Thanks
I believe you have a different type of binding than what I used. Mine is not stitched
@@thediygrunt Yes, that was my conclusion. I was just wondering if you remember which of the Instabind styles you used.
Thanks.
The Regular binding style
@@thediygrunt OK. Thanks for the video and replies; they have been a big help.
Just like EVERYTHING else, rugs have become overpriced. You wouldn't believe how difficult it has become for us. My husband used to care for me, but he got Parkinson's. Living off $2600/month means we make too much to get help, but too little to afford as much as dental! So getting a area room for the living room was REALLY tough! I had heard about edging but not seen it til now. Thank you so much.
This guy saved me 300 pounds
Where can I find that particular edging I have tried Home Depot, Lowe’s and Amazon and cannot find it. Thank you
Linked in the description box
Thank you 🙏🏻
You had me til the glue part, lol.
What kind of glue gun is that? It looks like it could beat up my mini craft glue gun.
Helpful video. Why not cut the white bit out of the last end of the edging? Results would be the same.
Yes, you can do that if you prefer. This video was based on the instructions given by the company
Will this work for higher types of carpet/rugs?
If the carpet fibers are taller you may need to pull them back or trim the fibers along the edge carefully and then you should be able to glue the binding without issue. I did another rug the other day using a combination of both those techniques and it worked well. I will say that rug was more of a medium length fiber (probably half an inch tall) and the tallest fiber length I have done so far. Instabind does sell some other style bindings so one of those other styles may be more appropriate for your carpet, I know certain bindings are recommended based off the material the carpet is made of.
@@thediygrunt ok thank you!
What if the sides already have binding?
The sides have binding but not the ends? If that is the case you could just bind the ends or you could possibly cut the binding off the sides if you wanted to bind the whole thing and ensure its the same color. Another option could be to bind the entire thing but leave the side binding and go over it with the new binding, but you would have to remove all the white inner tubing in the new binding to be able to cover the side binding without issues.
Does the carpet still fray with the binding ?
Yes it can. This process is obviously not perfect since it depends on hot glue and doing it by hand. In my experience having used this on a few different types of carpet the quality and type of carpet will affect the binding and how much fraying might still happen over time. Also how much wear and tear the edges of the runner or carpet will get will affect the fraying at the binding. I have one carpet that my cats love to scratch at and they tend to do it near the edges so it does cause more fraying issues. But I have a runner they don't mess with and despite it being in a heavy traffic area I have seen no issues with it. That runner though is a more expensive carpet and better quality than the one the cats like. The best solution I can provide is if you see fraying at the edges after binding then cut those pieces off quickly before something can pull on it and cause even more fraying.
What is the binding called and where do I buy it? TIA!
I've got it linked in the description
What glue gun are you using?
a Tec 305-12
@@thediygrunt thanks!
was that any special glue in that glue gun.
I don't remember it being special. I'm pretty sure I just bought a pack at Lowe's or Home Depot of the size I needed
This is going to fray and come away at the edges. Also when you vacum it it wil lose the straight edge. This is why carpet id butted into the skirting board
Can I use gorilla glue instead of hot glue gun?
I don't see why not. It would probably give you a longer working time which would help if you make a mistake. Hot glue is not very forgiving for mistakes so that is a downside.
Bro your late for formation report to gunny at 0300 for duty
My nightmare. Waking up to find firewatch standing over me telling I'm late and Im still a private and all of this has been a dream
@@thediygrunt Vert subtle and funny!
This is bullshit as carpet binder myself😅
