Area rugs can be pricey. Especially for large or odd-sized ones. Getting a carpet bound is expensive.
But now you can get custom, bound carpets rugs at a fraction of the price.
First, get a carpet remnant at a local carpet store or a dealer that resells remnants. (Search online for retailers in your area.) Find what you want. Bring it home. Cut it to size using a carpet knife for a clean edge.
Then use Instabind, a pair of scissors, and a hot glue gun to finish it.
See Instabind.com here and watch their videos. Easy, inexpensive, beautiful as seen in photo above.

Love it Julie!

That would be a great help for those who want to get a beautiful carpet but are under a tight budget. Just make sure that it is properly cleaned before placing it on the floor.

This is a pretty neat idea, and it's easy to do! I can definitely make use of my sewing skills and recycle carpet remnants from the run shops here! That way, I get to pass the time and make new decorations for my house!
