Product Description

Create your own rugs and runners with carpet edging – Easybind

Choose from 38 colours and apply directly to your carpet

Carpet edging – Easybind is the smart and attractive binding method for finishing the edges of carpet to make attractive rugs and runners. It is easy to apply and cost effective, making it possible to turn remnant carpet into a feature of your home. You can also apply to upholstery and it proves excellent for edging fitted carpets in caravans and boats.
This carpet binding tape is easy apply, in the home. It’s simply to do and fast.
Easybind edges the carpet with a rope-styled binding, which is stuck to the reverse of the carpet with a self-adhesive fabric strip.
The carpet binding prevents frayed edges and is an attractive feature and is an economical way to use up carpet remnants.
Avoids the need for overlocking or fitting borders to the rug, which tend to be ugly and bulky and involve sending your carpet away to a specialist company.
Easybind is ideal for edging straight and curved edges, which means that you can make all shapes of rug, including round, L-shaped, square and rectangular.
Choose from 30 standard colours plus 8 deluxe colours, including attractive two-tone options.
The Deluxe Easybind carpet edging tape features a special yarn with a silky sheen to it, for that extra touch of glamour.
Samples are available (up to two different colours) free of charge, on request.

Tips on applying your rope carpet edging – Easybind

Order the correct amount of Easybind carpet edging by first measuring up the linear dimension of the rugs or runners you wish to make. This is the length of the external edge.
Ask your fitter to make some scatter rugs from the remnant carpet, at the time of laying your carpet or runner.
Alternatively, you can do-it-yourself. It is best to first watch the video (see Video tab above) and then get started or follow the steps shown in the slider Carpet Edging – the Easybind way.
An application kit, comprising hot glue gun, cartridges and practise sample, supplies the basic tools you require to start applying easybind.
In addition, useful tips can be found in our How to Guides on how to attach Easybind.

Carpet edging – the Easybind way

1. Prepare carpet edges.
2. When Easybind is cut the rope part will fray, so apply Sellotape around the rope and cut through the middle of the tape.
3. Always start in the middle, not a corner, as it is easier to join two pieces on a straight section. Peel tape and press into the carpet backing as you go, as shown above and below.
4. It is important to run the rope parallel to the carpet edge, leaving sufficient gap between the carpet and the rope for the glue gun nozzle.
5. When going around a corner, cut the binding, not the rope! As shown above.
6. Corner technique shown from below the carpet.
7. When going around an inside corner, cut the binding, not the rope!
8. This makes a seemless finish.
9. When joining the start and end of the carpet binding, apply Seelotape to the area where the cut will be made. This helps prevent the rope from fraying when cut.
10. When the binding is cut, match the rope pieces together. Have the ends of the adhesive tape visible, in order to allow easier removal. Seal the two pices of rope with a spot of hot glue, then peel away the Sellotape.
11. When you are happy with the join and corners etc., use the glue gun to apply a bead of glue between the binding and carpet backing, pinching together as you go. Be extra careful not to get any glue on the carpet.
12. For large runs, try a piece of timber to help attach large sections of the carpet binding. Use a glue gun mat to catch any glue that may drip from the end of the gun.

Excellent product, just the job for making some mats from excess carpet we had. Needs a bit of practice to use, first one was OK but the next two were good.

Jenny Hancox (verified owner) – October 7, 2020

Very helpful company. I have used the binding on two different lengths of carpet offcuts. Really good to be able to receive samples of the colours. The binding is easy to use after a short practise. The tutorial video very helpful. I would recommend this product to anyone with spare carpet, for making into useful rugs.

John Hills (verified owner) – October 26, 2020

With some practise and little care offcuts can be transformed into very effective protectors, the edging giving an attractive and professional finish. I could have done with more for £26.25 plus postage.

Eddie Barnes (verified owner) – November 10, 2020

Easybind edging is very easy to use as the name suggests. I have never bound carpet offcuts before and turned them into mats but now have two 4ft x 2ft a 6ft x 2ft a five ft x 2ft 6inches and a couple of small mats all came out very well. However I do recommend you watch the you tube video to see how to do it. This is a great product.

Made good quality carpet offcuts into very useful rugs. Easy to use. Trickiest part was removing the tape after splicing the ends.
