Instabind Do-it-Yourself Carpet and Area Rug Binding (22 Colors Available) - Quantity 1 = 5 Foot Section, Lt Tan

If you want a large area rug. Consider buying a large length of carpet. Then use this carpet binding for a finished look on the edges. It works great! Husband and I (with no prior experience) did this project together. Worked out well and the cost is so much less than buying an area rug.

Not so great on the sticky tape, but the installation instructions are pretty good and the end result is pretty good considering the cost. There is a discrepancy between the thickness of the roll and my existing carpet. That’s pretty pronounced. Not perfect, but worth the money.

Good product

I made two runners out of carpet scraps. One 5' long and the other 17' long. The project was pretty easy, looks great and is holding up well. I'd recommend it. The company was great too. They mailed me samples of the colors I requested so I could make an informed decision.

I had to cut an edge off an 8 foot rug for the dining room and I didn’t want the edge to stay cut and frayed. I took the whole rug to a local carpet store and it was going to be $185 to just remove about 10 inches off of one side and bind it. They had a policy where you had to pay to get the rug cleaned before they would do the binding. Anyway, for 25 bucks I bought 10 feet of this stuff and got a admit it worked out pretty well. It doesn’t look perfect and it was hard to get the exact color match but if you just need a basic edge so your rug or carpet doesn’t fall apart, this is a fantastic product. Use a sharp new utility knife. I think we used a glue gun from the dollar store.
