Using the precise measurements taken in the previous step, lay out the carpet runner or bulk carpet material. Carefully mark the cut lines for each individual stair tread using a straight edge and a marker. Ensure all cuts are straight and accurate. Use a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors to cut the carpet pieces to size. If the carpet has a pattern, ensure the pattern is aligned consistently across all treads. For carpet runners, you may only need to cut them to the desired depth, assuming the width is already appropriate.
