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.
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.
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 😊
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.

Did you hot glue the piping along the perimeter?

very helpful video! Although I would recommend getting heavy duty scissors and not a box cutter to cut the rug.
This tutorial helped us so much, thank you! It was much easier than expected!
This is exactly what I needed, thanks!
Love hearing that!

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 .

Then don’t use a razor blade on your real carpet.🤷🏻♀️ 3:31
