I found some wonderful ideas for repurposing old carpet. Some of these are seriously genius ideas and all of them can be done with old carpet or rugs, whatever you may have on hand.

You can also do many of them with carpet samples, so if you have a few of those lying around, get them out and let’s do a repurposing project with them!

Repurposing old items is such fun and it’s a really economical way to use up those items and get some new ones at the same time.

Repurposing really does save you money and you can reuse practically anything. Just take a look at these ways to repurpose broken mirrors.
