Step Two
Cut the rugs into halves and cut up two of the rugs into ½ inch strips. These will serve as your rug connectors.
Step Three
In an open area, layout the rugs in a pattern you like. You might need to cut some pieces into different sizes to make it all fit.
Step Four
Using carpet duck tape, you will attach the rugs along the seams on the backside. Next, use your hot glue to glue on the smaller strips you cut and outline each rug square.

Finally, flip the rug over, and using fabric adhesive, attach a non-slip rug pad to the back of the rug.
