Why spend lots of money on new rugs when you can easily make your own rugs from free carpet samples? This is an easy DIY project that is fun and very flexible as to shapes and color combinations. All you need is some rolls of good duct tape which you will use on the back of your rug to hold all the free carpet samples together – see the last picture below.
Many retailers offer free carpet samples, for example HomeDepot, Lowes, or online stores like Capri Discount Flooring etc.
Which style of carpet will give you the look you want?
Plush, a cut pile, Berber, Frieze or perhaps something else? You can easily discover your favorite when you can to the retailer to see and feel their samples.

I love all your rugs. I am definitely going to try this. Thank you so much for the idea and tutorial.
I can’t see going to a carpet store and asking for 50+ samples.
I used to make these in college 50 years ago. I sewed them together, but the duck tape looks alot easier haha…
