Can an area rug be cut down?
Cutting. Place the rug upside down on a sturdy surface that you don’t mind to be scratched. If the rug is thin, you may easily cut it with a carpeting knife using the marking line you have drawn. Otherwise, score the dimensions with a carpeting knife and then cut with shears.
