I once saw a pricey designer “labyrinth” carpet in a catalog and wondered if I could re-create the effect cheaply by taking electric hair clippers to a piece of ordinary carpet. Long story short: it works. A maze pattern on green carpet is great for the “hedge maze” look, but your design could be anything!

Step #1: Measure, measure, measure.




Measure your carpet section (mine was 74"×71"), the area you want the rug to fill (74"×41"), the width of your shaver head (1.75"), and the width of your masking tape (1.875"). Write it all down someplace.
