How to make a rug out of yarn pom poms.

The bigger the rug the more yarn you ll need. This tutorial will show you how to make a yarn pom pom. 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. 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.

The thicker your yarn is the fluffier your pom poms will be. Be sure to check thrift stores and second hand stores for lower prices. You will create a lot of yarn confetti when trimming the pom poms so spread out newspaper or have a paper grocery bag handy to trim the pom poms over. Around 2 3 per skein roll.

Also if you use the harder plastic rug for backing it won t fray as much. After you have created the pom poms it is time to attach them to the rug pad. To keep the backing from fraying you can use duct tape. You need to make sure of a few things before an attempt to clean your rug.

The pom poms will be tied to this to form the rug itself. Make sure you use acrylic yarn to make your diy rug or at least something that is 100 washable. 1 if the one you find is too big you can always cut it down.
