How to make pom pom rug.

Since i had already begun making the pom pom rug according to that diagram i decided i would continue with that style of difference sized pom pom s and use them in a rectangle. This will all make more sense with the instruction booklet that s included in the kit. If you are just using pre made pom poms you can skip ahead. Doubling up your string will reinforce your pom poms and keep them from falling apart.

I used 180 pom poms for my 18 20 rug but my pom poms weren t very big. When you are trimming your pom poms leave the string tail nice and long. Make your own pom poms if you are making any pom poms for your rug you will need the next 10 steps. Make even more pom poms.

Overall i used about 90 bundles and tied the bundles in a 8 8 grid. For our rug we made about 150 pom poms. The first step for making your own large pom is to grab 2 toilet paper rolls and while keeping them together wrap yarn around the rolls a bunch of times. Don t tie too tight though or you might break the mat.

Lay them out and admire some more. Attach all of the the pom poms to the rug liner by tying the tails of yarn around the mesh. Repeat with the remaining yarn to make lots and lots of pom poms. When you make your pom poms make sure you cut a nice long piece of string and double it up to wrap around the center.

If you want to make the rug even more durable use a double layer of the non slip mat.
