Instabind Carpet Binding - Regular Style & Rug Edge Binding, Ideal for Area Rugs, Durable Hold, DIY Carpet Finishing Edge - Graphite, 54 ft Rolls

Surprisingly impressed with how easy it was to customize my rug! My kitchen is galley style, so a runner would be way too skinny. I found a 5x7 rug and trimmed that on one edge and then purchased the Buckskin color binding. I only did one side (might do the other) but it honestly doesn’t look too bad! Important to note that you’ll need a glue gun and fabric glue sticks. I just used my cheap one for crafting and purchased some fabric glue sticks. Hardest part was actually cutting a woven rug, but worked perfectly!

Had a large leftover (8x12) from a room wall to wall install. Used the instabind to convert the leftover to use as an area rug in another room. The binding process with this product was a breeze and looks professional. A clean straight carpet edge and a thin glue nozzle is a must! Really impressed with this this system.

I used this product to make an area rug for our living room, out of a carpet remnant. The binding looks super professional and it’s easy to install. The only downside is you definitely need to use a hot glue gun to attach this to the carpet. The sticky part of the binding is not sticky at all. It will not stay put unless you use the hot glue as well. That’s the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. The grey color was perfect! Visitors are shocked I “made” the area rug myself as it looks very professional

I used Instabind to create a rug from left over carpet for my daughter. I also used it for a door mat from the same left over carpet. My daughter loved it. I also bought the Gorilla glue gun ($10) and it worked very nicely with the Instabind carpet binding. I started with the smaller door mat to get acclimated to the product and then did the larger area rug. Its easy to use and took me about an hour for both. Great product.

I was very skeptical about my ability to take a piece of remnant carpeting and make it into an area rug. The instructions provided were easy to understand and follow. I was armed and ready with my glue gun and the process went very quickly. The area rug was approximately 8'x9' and I finished the project within an hour or so. The only problem I encountered was user error with the glue gun as I accidentally turned it off during the process. The product matched perfectly, and it looks as if it was made as an area rug!

We have used this rug binding before and it always meets out expectations. Great Adhesive and durability over the years. Easy to apply and looks so nice afterwards. We are not professionals, but it is fun to try to create such a good looking product.

I didn’t want to pay for a customer area run for our living space. I needed an odd size- 12’x17’4”. So I went to Lowe’s and chose a 12’ wide cut to length rug that I had to bind myself for our living room. I attached pictures to show how easy it it and how good it looks! I did purchase a Ryobi cordless hot glue gun to be able to go around the whole area with ease. I will say I used extra hot glue along with the adhesive to be sure it would last our family a long time incase the adhesive wasn’t strong enough. It’s made from a durable material and very easy to use after watching the video. I got a high pile carpet and the thickness is perfect around the edge. I chose the beige color and it’s PERFECT. Instead of spending $1600 on a custom bound area rug- I was able to do it myself and the total cost of my project was $450! If you ever need to buy an area rug but you’re on a budget. I highly recommend InstaBind!

I had to take up my subfloor to do some insulating, but I had just put down new carpet within the past few years. I really didn’t want to waste the carpet considering there is nothing wrong with it. This product was really easy to use and my custom rug will look great over the hardwood once installed. I recommend watching the 20 minute YouTube video of the guy in military clothing doing it. I also recommend using a hot glue designed for fabrics as it will give it the flexibility it needs.
