Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Cut or tear the fabric into 4-inch strips. The lengths do not need to all be the same, as long as the widths are similar.
2

Braid three of the strips together. Each time a piece of fabric runs out, overlap it with a new piece of fabric and continue braiding. Keep braiding until you have a long, continuous rope that, when wound together, will be the size of rug you desire.
3

Apply the caulk to the center of the carpet pad using the paintbrush.
4

Attach one end of the braid to the adhesive caulk. Coil the braid tightly, applying more caulk as you go until you have all of the braid wound onto the carpet pad.
5

Tuck the end of the braid on the underside of the carpet pad and secure it with some adhesive caulk. Allow it to dry, following the instructions on the vinyl adhesive caulk.
