So you have a carpet in your room and need to figure out seating? Carpets help to absorb the sound we make... so you want to keep your carpet at all costs! However you can't do anything to permanently mark the carpet... administration won't like that. I used to use carpet squares, but now many states now have rules about any and all fabrics/rugs in the classroom- they must meet California regulations for fire safety.

So what do you do?

Well, this neat cricut craft will help with seating AND meet all the regulations:

Velcro Carpet Letters!

You will need:

Circut Explore (or Higher) and Standard Mat available Here   You can also use a die-cut machine if available

Spray Adhesive Available Here
​

Hook Side Only Fastener- 6 inch by 1 yard ( I bought 3 yards and it made 56 letters)  Available Here
​

Measure out a 12 inch wide length of your hook fastener sheet.

Give your mat a quick spray with the adhesive to make sure it sticks!

Place the sheet on the TOP of your mat, hook side UP. You will need to make sure your images are cut backwards for this to work!

You also need to trim any overhang or the mat won't fit in the machine.
 Make sure that your letters don't go over the 6 inch mark! So they cut correctly, you'll need to reverse them. If you want, you can use my free file available here: 

I use the musical alphabet and have the students sit in a square formation.

Cut it out! Don't mind the stubble- it comes off with a good scraping!

Peel and Enjoy! I'll be applying a layer of T-shirt paint to color-code these for my seating charts!
