Review: Amazing Product - I was skeptical about this product. Sounded too good to be true. But I had a beautiful wool rug that the entire edge was frayed and the binding coming off the entire thing. I had tried to hot glue it back at one point …didn’t work well. The rug was in its way to the dump🥺 I took a chance and ordered this and SO So happy I did. The binding came in a roll..you peel the backing off. I had More than enough to do this good sized round rug. The color is exactly as shown. The directions are spot on. Super easy to apply - even for me (the most UNhandy person in the world). This is a Quality product. My poor rug now looks brand new! It looks like a professional job as well! It fit snugly right up to the edge of the carpet (weird last photo) I love this product so much I wish I had more things to use it on! Recommend - HECK YEAH !!! Review: Looks professional; easy to do - We had a very large carpet remnant leftover when we moved into a new lake house. I wanted to use it in a kids bunk room but didn’t want to schlep it to an upholsterer to have it bound. This edging worked great and looks professional. It’s one of the few projects ever that was easier than expected. Lots of colors to choose from—ours matched perfectly—and it was exactly the length I ordered. The adhesive is such that you can move around/adjust it while putting it on but gets permanent over time. Can you tell I LOVE this product! Congratulations on whoever developed this! (Note: Definitely use a fine tipped glue gun. Makes finishing much easier.) ## Features - Regular style Instabind is an easy to use DIY binding that is perfect for binding carpet edges in your home. This is perfect for the homeowner wanting to get a professional looking bound rug without the high prices of sending it out to a professional. Instabind will give you a professional look without the visible stitching that can detract from the overall appeal of a professionally bound rug. - Find a color that will add a great accent to your rug and really make it pop. Shows up best on low to medium pile carpet but can be used on most any carpet/rug. All monitors show colors differently so email us for a color swatch to find a good match. - This product is made here in the USA out of a synthetic polyester material with a repositionable, heavy duty tape to hold the Instabind to the back of the carpet. The tape can be easy repositioned at first but once the installation is complete and the rug is laid in place the tape will begin to adhere more/harder as time passes insuring a long lasting and secure bond. - We sell Instabind in 5 foot sections up to the total amount you need to bind your carpet scraps or rug. To get the correct amount simply add up the total feet all around the item to be bound. A 3 x 6 rug would require you to order a quantity of 4. How? The rug measures 3 + 3 + 6 + 6 = 18 total feet you would need a total of 4 five foot sections. When you order 4 units (20 feet) this will come in one continuous roll. - Instabind is user-friendly and perfect for the DIYer to do. Each shipment comes with basic written instructions and a QR code to watch the "how to" video before you start. The items not included but needed for installation are heavy duty scissors, hot melt glue gun (even a small craft glue gun will work) and hot melt glue. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01KW2ZWFS | | Best Sellers Rank | #114,166 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #1,063 in Area Rugs | | Brand | Instabind | | Brand Name | Instabind | | Color | Sand | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 984 Reviews | | Item Dimensions L x W | 2"L x 5"W | | Item Thickness | 0.25 Inches | | Item Weight | 0.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Instabind | | Manufacturer Part Number | 39XXX-reg | | Material | Polyester | | Material Type | Polyester | | Model Number | 39XXX-reg | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 2"L x 5"W | | Shape | Freeform | | Size | 5" x 2" (Freeform) | | Surface Recommendation | Carpet, Rugs | | UPC | 687437772870 | | Unit Count | 5.0 Feet | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Instabind - **Color:** Sand - **Material:** Polyester - **Product Dimensions:** 2"L x 5"W - **Size:** 5" x 2" (Freeform) ## Images ![Instabind - Do-It-Yourself Carpet Binding - Turn Carpet Scraps into Area Rugs Fast - Sold in 5 ft Sections (Sand) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OVhkCIyaL.jpg) ![Instabind - Do-It-Yourself Carpet Binding - Turn Carpet Scraps into Area Rugs Fast - Sold in 5 ft Sections (Sand) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81q9Cf9QGvL.jpg) ![Instabind - Do-It-Yourself Carpet Binding - Turn Carpet Scraps into Area Rugs Fast - Sold in 5 ft Sections (Sand) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-PNm9pvLL.jpg) ![Instabind - Do-It-Yourself Carpet Binding - Turn Carpet Scraps into Area Rugs Fast - Sold in 5 ft Sections (Sand) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81urm-GXIHL.jpg) ![Instabind - Do-It-Yourself Carpet Binding - Turn Carpet Scraps into Area Rugs Fast - Sold in 5 ft Sections (Sand) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pAgBaiVzL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Product *by I***G on October 27, 2024* I was skeptical about this product.

(Note: Definitely use a fine tipped glue gun. Makes finishing much easier.) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great and Easy Product *by T***D on August 9, 2024* I replaced old, shredded fringe with this product and the results are amazing. It was very easy to install and the hot glue will ensure a nice, long lasting edge on this high-traffic area. The color is spot on. Also, the sticky tape is very forgiving so if you have to make adjustments before using the glue gun, you can. This may be a no-brainer for anyone other than me, but I needed 17ft. so I ordered 4 of the 5ft. pieces. I thought I would have to seam it together, but I got 20ft. roll. They just sell in 5ft. increments. ## Frequently Bought Together - Instabind - Do-It-Yourself Carpet Binding - Turn Carpet Scraps into Area Rugs Fast - Sold in 5 ft Sections (Sand) - QIANF Twill Tape Ribbon 100% Cotton White 3/8 Inch Wide 50 Yard Roll Herringbone Tape(3/8 Inch-50Yard, White) - DABLINE 80" x 80" Non Slip Rug Pad for Tufting and Rug Making, Thick and Grippy Backing Fabric --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/43649859-instabind-do-it-yourself-carpet-binding-turn-carpet-scraps-into](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/43649859-instabind-do-it-yourself-carpet-binding-turn-carpet-scraps-into) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
