How to cut carpet
Start with a sharp knife.
This will be the most important (and possibly the only) tool you'll need to cut carpet. A standard utility knife is preferable, though something like an x-acto knife or razor can also do the trick.

* Follow the directions and the blade of the knife to ensure that you create the best vertical slits in your carpet pattern. If you cut into the carpet with your utility knife, you won't be able to peel it off, leaving the fibers of your carpet free to show through.;
* Do not cut through sheets, boxes, and furniture. Slices or cuts may cause stains and dirt to build up on carpet.;
* Whatever you use, make sure the edge is nice and sharp. If you're using a utility knife with a removable blade, take a minute to insert a new one before you get started.;
* Any sharp blade should be of sufficient blade size for cutting carpet in this manner. Remove the adhesive from the entire carpet.;
