How do I stop a rug from "creeping" on the carpet.

we have a large area rug over the carpet in our great room. There is no furniture on it, it is to protect our new carpet from pets. It moves or creeps across the carpet! It doesn't stay in one place. Help!!!

You can purchase carpet tape in a roll. This will hold the rug in place. Happy decorating!

You can pin it in place with sturdy straight pins

Have you tried a rug pad?

  We tried carpet runner (the kind with the little spikes on the back) but it didn't work😕

  A rug pad is different, might be something to consider. I have them for the same reason, a rug on carpet.
