How to Make Your Own Furniture Sliders for Carpet

Furniture sliders are an inexpensive and easy way to move furniture around on carpet without damaging the carpet or the furniture itself. You can buy furniture sliders at most hardware stores, but they are also incredibly easy to make at home with a few simple materials.

Materials you will need:

Felt
Scissors
Ruler or measuring tape
Pencil or fabric marker
(Optional) Fabric glue

Instructions:

Measure the bottom of the furniture leg that you want to make a slider for. Add 1 inch to the length and width of the measurement.
Cut a piece of felt to the size that you measured in step 1.
Center the furniture leg on the felt and trace around it with a pencil or fabric marker.
Cut out the circle that you traced in step 3.
(Optional) Apply a thin bead of fabric glue around the edge of the felt circle and press it onto the bottom of the furniture leg. Allow the glue to dry completely before using the slider.

Tips:

If you are making sliders for heavy furniture, you may want to use a thicker felt or even multiple layers of felt.
You can also use other materials to make furniture sliders, such as plastic or rubber. However, felt is the most popular choice because it is inexpensive, durable, and easy to work with.
Furniture sliders can be used on any type of carpet, but they are especially useful on thick or plush carpets.

With just a few simple materials and a few minutes of your time, you can make your own furniture sliders that will help you move your furniture around with ease.
