Ingredients
2 - 6' x 8'pieces of artificial turf
1rollwhite duct tape
Instructions
Use the duct tape to tape together the 2 pieces of artificial turf across the 8-foot end. This will form the center line.
From the center line, measure 20" out and make a mark on the back of both sides of the rug. Tape from one side of the rug to the other to join the 2 marks together. Make sure to match the center of the tape to the pencil marks so that the line is fairly straight.
Repeat the process on the other side of the center line.
Continue measuring out 20" and taping the lines across the turf until you get to the ends of the carpet.
Mark lines every 4" between each set of two full-width lines, on both sides of the rug. There should be 4 marks between each set of full-width lines.
Cut 6" pieces of tape and tape it onto the turf so that the end of the tape lines up with the side of the rug, and the tape is centered on the marks.
For a more finished look to the rug, tape around the edges folding the tape over so it is half on the front and half on the back of the turf.
To make sure no-one trips over the edges of your turf, tape it down to the floor all the way around the edges. (Although it may take some extra elbow grease to get the duct tape residue off the floor...that stuff sticks to everything!
Notes
If you can't see the pencil marks on the turf, use small pieces of tape to mark your measurements.
