Things You'll Need
Carpet Scraps (Remnants)
Solution:
When you install carpeting, chances are there are some scraps left over. It's always a good idea to keep them in case you ever need a patch, but there are some other uses for them as well!
   
1. Hang a patch of carpeting on the wall in your garage where your car door opens. This way if you open the door too fast and hit the wall, it will be protected from dings and scratches.
 
2. Put some carpeting pile side down on a hardwood floor when you need to move heavy furniture. Place the furniture on top of the carpet and slide it easily without scratching your hardwoods.
 
3. Use a larger scrap as a throw rug by the back door to wipe your feet.
 
4. In the workshop, put some carpeting across the top of your sawhorse to protect projects from scuffs and scratches.
 
5. Line the inside of a tool drawer in your workshop with carpet scraps. Your tools will stay in place instead of sliding around getting damaged.
 
6. Cut a piece of carpeting to size and staple it on the bottom rung of your ladder. You can wipe your feet before you climb up and you'll be less likely to slip.
