Tools:
- Measuring Tape
- Knife (military tactical type)
Steps:
I didn’t even need to measure at all I just counted the seams. I started by finding the relative center by counting how many seams from the outside would fit the pipe.
I marked this spot with a silver sharpie. I then rolled the pipe back until I could roll enough of the carpet around the pipe to cover it.
I cut some slits where I thought I should bring the hooks through.
I slid the hooks in the small slits and put the pipe in the hook.
I then tucked the end of the carpet between the hook and the pipe to keep it in place.
