How to Make Your Own Car Mats

Humanity best defines how life on this pale blue dot can be for many creatures that inhabit it. Just the mere existence of your species doesn’t guarantee that you will get everything you want. You would have to find a way to do things that complements, or greatly supplements what you’ve been developed to do.

The ability to move from one place to another has developed greatly since the days of horse back to the present where cars rule. One thing though, in all the options, we like to travel in style and your car mats are just one of the things you can do to spruce up your vehicle.

The standard rubber mats may be functional, but doesn’t mett your standards. Here’s how you can make your own.

 

Things You Will Need.

 

Making your new car mats won’t need a lot, just a few items and your determination to get things done.

 

·         A sizeable piece of GoRoo mat.

·         A pair of large scissors or a sharp knife.

·         A cardboard box.

·         A work table.

·         Pen, marker and paper.

·         Tape measure.

 

Getting things done.

 

Now it’s time to get down to business. This might actually be the simplest, yet one of the toughest things you do. All this is dependent on your willingness to put in some extra work, and the strength of your tools. Cutting out the GoRoo mat will need some strong tools and some application of force from you.

To begin with, you will need to measure the area which you are going to place your new mats. These measurements will allow you to make the correct size of mats. This is especially true of the driver’s side where a larger size could end up causing issues with the controls of the vehicle.

If your old mats are still available, then those would be the perfect templates to use to prepare the new mats.

Next, if you have the old mats, it’s time to make a cutout. Lay the cardboard onto the work table and place the old mats on them. At this time, simply use the marker, scissors or the knife to make an outline of the mats on the cardboard. Next, cut out the shapes that you have created.

Your old mats are now out of commission. You can hold a little ceremony for them to celebrate all the work they’ve done for you, and to show your appreciation. Do it after you are done using tools for the day.

The next step would now be to lay the GoRoo material on the work table. If you have the cardboard cutouts, simply lay them on top of the GoRoo and make a mark using the marker by tracing around the cutout.

If you didn’t have the old mats to use as a template, use the measurements you had taken to draw the outline of the mat on the material. You could add some designs if you wanted to but ensure they don’t exceed the dimensions of your measurement.

At this point, it’s simply a matter of cutting out the shapes that you have on the GoRoo material. You now have yourself a new set of car mats.
