Thank you, I cut our rug down perfectly following your tutorial. But I did not use rug binding since it is so expensive. I went to Joann’s fabric store and found some cord piping in the trim area and got 3 yards for under $12. It looks beautiful and worked exactly the same way but much cheaper.
Wow thanks for the idea!
Did you hot glue the piping along the perimeter?
Thank you. Having bought a rectangular rug and now wanting it to be round, I was wondering if there’s a way to trim the edges after cutting it. So this helped a lot. However, to minimise the risk of excessively cutting off the pile, it’s probably best to part the pile right side up - like parting hair, and tape it down. Then cut right side up. Yes marking it would be a little more fussy, but you can use pin tacks as markers. Draw a line as you did and then cut with the pile safely taped out the way. That way the pile will fall back over the edges once the binding is finished. Okay I’ve never done it, but I have done a fair bit of DIY/crafting etc. The idea just came to me after seeing your finished rug. But I’m pretty sure this method would achieve better results.
This tutorial helped us so much, thank you! It was much easier than expected!
Yes, I used gorilla hot glue and glued the cord tape to the edge of the rug that I cut. It has been a year now and it still looks fantastic and holding strong. Soo much cheaper than using carpet tape. Joann’s has a good selection, also try hobby lobby. It’s not that visable since I matched the carpet color closely.
This was very helpful. Thanks! ❤
This is really helpful, thank you!
This is exactly what I needed, thanks!
Love hearing that!
Yessss! Thank you!
Amazing job! Where did you purchase the tape? Thanks
Thanks for the video
Thank you so much. I've been searching for this exactly. I bought a indoor outdoor rug at sams club. Its too big and needs resized. Did you use carpet knife or just a regular utility knife? Was the level necessary? Sorry for all the questions this is my first time. I will be doing this alone. Thank you 😊
great job
very helpful video! Although I would recommend getting heavy duty scissors and not a box cutter to cut the rug.
Well what bonding material did you use?
Hi! Where are your supplies from??
Where did you purchase the tape?Thanks!
Instructions unclear.
I still suck at dancing.
A razor blade? You’re cutting a thin & cheap rug. No razor is gonna work on real carpets
very true .
She was obviously using a utility blade not a shaving blade lol.
When she said razor blade, I think she was referring to a utility knife blade. I've cut regular carpet with those. You have to change the blade occasionally because it loses its edge after awhile, but it works.
