After a new carpet installation, what do you do with the leftover off-cuts? A clever customer in Alexandra Headland found the perfect solution! Instead of letting the extra pieces go to waste, they came to us at Carpet Overlock King with a great idea to create a set of custom mats.
The project was to take their leftover carpet and transform it into a collection of useful pieces for their home. Our team took the wool carpet off-cuts and meticulously cut them to four different sizes: a large 2.4m x 1.2m mat, a second at 2m x 0.6m, and two smaller ones, each measuring 1.2m x 0.6m.
With the sizes precisely cut, we then gave each mat a professional finish with our signature overlocking. This essential process, also known as carpet edging, provides a clean, durable border that prevents fraying and ensures each piece will stand up to daily use.

This project is a perfect example of how our services can provide a practical, personalised, and sustainable solution for your home. It’s a fantastic way to get more value from your materials and add a custom touch to any room.




If you have carpet off-cuts you'd like them crafted into mats, runners, or a rug for your home, reach out today! We'd love to help bring your ideas to life right here on the Sunshine Coast. Reach out and let's discuss your project.
