How to make a rug out of yarn pom poms.

The pom poms will be tied to this to form the rug itself. Around 2 3 per skein roll. Also if you use the harder plastic rug for backing it won t fray as much. My rough estimate would be about 80 100 pom poms per square foot but this would depend on the size of the pomps you ll make.

The thicker your yarn is the fluffier your pom poms will be. 1 if the one you find is too big you can always cut it down. When you are making the pom poms you need to make sure to wrap your tie string around at least twice and really ratchet down and tighten as much as you can. Starting with the first one in the corner of the rug take the long ends of the yarn that you used to tie off the pom pom and push them through the mesh of the rug pad.

Be sure to check thrift stores and second hand stores for lower prices. To keep the backing from fraying you can use duct tape. Make a cardboard pom pom maker. It will be used to make the pom poms for the rug.

Cut a rectangle of cardboard about 3 5 x 5. Make sure you use acrylic yarn to make your diy rug or at least something that is 100 washable. You need to make sure of a few things before an attempt to clean your rug.
