I replaced the worn carpet on my steps by purchasing sample pcs. of carpet. Unfortunately, you will be unable to purchase all the carpet pcs. in the same color. I purchased a bunch of pcs. in shades that blended. I played with the carpet pcs. placing 1 pc. of carpet for the top of the step and one pc. for the front of the step, until I was satisfied with the way it looked. I used an electric staple gun to staple them in place. I stapled the top of the step first and stapled the carpet around the front of the step then I stapled another pc, which may have to be cut to size, on the front tucking the top under the top pc which was rolled over the front of the step.-doing this will hide the staples. Or you can reverse the process. After I finished doing the 10 steps (using 20 pcs. of carpet) it looked terrific and lasted many years. It's actually was very simple to do. Sometimes carpet stores give these samples away free or you can get them at a flea market
