Anyone know if you can put your own edge on carpet? I want to kindof make my own area rug, my living room is oddly shaped and I'd like to have to covered with a rug.

Any suggestions?

you can buy edging tape (don't know the actual name of it) at sewing centers, I would imagine. I've also seen carpet edging at Canadian Tire, in the section where you can cut runner carpets to custom lengths. I hope this helps.
