Fixing a creepy rug

March 31, 2011 by Erin Heaton

We have some basic berber carpet in our family room, so to warm things up I put an area rug on top. But the rug is a creeper. It’s predecessor was a creeper too.

Before

So for about $30, I picked up a carpet-to-rug pad. It’s one of those things I didn’t think I needed, but I really didn’t want to look at this anymore.

I thought the pad was just going to be a big sheet of felt, but it’s actually a big sheet of felt with a slight adhesive on each side (about as tacky as a Post-it note). Sorry I didn’t take a photo of me laying the whole thing out, but you get the idea.

It’s been under there for nearly a week and no creeping yet. I hope it stays put.

    This was misleading. I expected to read an article that was about an old perverted rug that used bad pickup lines and was maybe a little too touchy-feely.
