Here's another option for joining two pieces. I saw that there is also another way to connect two ends using Instabind. On one end you cut only the cording about an inch from the end leaving the outer fabric, then slip the new piece into the old piece, making sure to join the cording and overlap the fabric. That way it won't separate over time and will look smooth.
Nice job! - however, Instabind is $62 - You can also use a small blow torch and seal the edges yourself. Much cheaper, looks fine if you cut a straight edge.
Yes, I suppose I could use a blow torch to seal the edges (if I didn't first start the carpet and/or myself on fire). The edges would be sealed but not have the finished look of a professionally bound edge. Compared to having a rug professionally bound, Instabind is a bargain.
hell yeah, new project I want to do now. I have been wanting to get a huge rug for my basement TV area, but huge rugs are sooooo expensive. Carpet is much cheaper, this is a great idea, thanks for the tip!
Thanks for this! I have a dog who slips on the hardwood and I need a rug to cover the whole floor, but didn't want to buy an expensive 12 ft rug that she and the other dog will destroy. This with inexpensive by-the-yard carpet will be perfect!
Wow, thanks for 1, for 2, it looks like you have a very nice house ($) but your not too "hoitey-toitey" to admit this is the best option for you and obviously makes the most sense when it comes to cleaning and up-cycling. My husband is a contractor and I needed this for making rugs with his leftover pieces. [Know you helped someone today/forever and Karama will return the favor🎉]
Great way to make use of, recycle carpet. Someone could do this as a side gig as there is a steady reply of carpet being removed. Agreed with another comment to use the overlap method on the ends. Looks great.
Do you know if this will work on an indoor/outdoor piece of carpet? I have a "grassy type" of carpet from Lowes on my covered lanai that may get wet from rain sometimes.
It might not if it's exposed to direct sun. Also because the back is an adhesive, not sure how it hold up when wet. Maybe sewing it in will have it hold up to the weather better.

I have hard wood floors but always keep a large rug down for my dog! My old boy scruff slipped on my wood floor and had life threatening spinal injuries he was to far gone to save never again!
Brilliant! Apparently no one makes a 6x8 area rug, guess I'll have to make my own. Thanks for the tip!
glad it helped!

This is a great video but this material is so expensive it's only practical for a very small rug.
@@brendamoon2660 sorry to hear that. Back when I did it. I got my 54 ft roll for $60. I’m sure there must be another seller
@@TanDiego I'll keep an eye out for other sellers.
What’s the name/style of your armchairs? 🙂
JoshC it’s called the witmer armchair
I have hard wood floors but always keep a large rug down for my dog!

Aww so sorry to hear that! 😢
How many feet to buy binding
How big is your rug?
@@TanDiego I'm doing a 8x10
@@grannyreborns I would get 40ft to be safe
@@TanDiego thanks, you're awesome
Why the hell would you pull everything of your gas stove when you could use a map gas torch. I mean, even a butane torch lighter would work.
Hi dude! Let’s be TH-cam friends!
Sana Vox lets do it! Hi friend 😀🖐🏼
The better method is to fold the edges over and glue them
I want a round rug.
That is possible with this instabind
@@TanDiego make a roundone please and let me know, lol.
It's me
