How to Make a Beautiful Pom Pom Rug with Your Own Hands
To create a rug you will need:
- pompoms;
- construction mesh;
- multi-colored knitting threads (it is better to choose bright colors that match each other).
First, decide on the shape of the product. Circle, square or oval - choose and cut out the base template accordingly. Don't forget to consider the size, be rational!
To do the main part of the work, you need to set up the machine (conditionally). Don't be scared - just turn over a chair or stool on regular legs and that's it! Your machine is a pair of legs.
Now take the thread with your left hand and "attach" it to the leg, holding it, and wind it around both legs several times, forming a kind of strong oval of threads. Wind it at your discretion, understanding that this is the basis of future pompoms. Hook the end of the thread with a knot or glue.
Now divide the wound threads at an equal distance between each other (5-8 cm). Taking both sides of the "oval", connect them by tying them with knots using a thread (12-15 cm). The knot should be strong, but at the same time, it should not be pulled too tight. Use the same thread as for the pompoms, but it is best to add, for example, nylon, so that later you can securely fasten the pompoms to the mesh. It is not necessary to comply with this condition, but it is useful.
Tie knots - this is the center of the future parts of the product.
Carefully separate the pompoms from each other between the tied knots, using sharp scissors, dividing the wound threads exactly in the middle between the knots. The pompoms should be beautiful and fluffy. If necessary, you can fluff them up with your hands. Make pompoms from other threads in the same way. Make as many as you need for the intended product. Remember, the softer the thread, the nicer it will be for your feet.
Are the bright "details" ready? - now arrange them as you like, carefully tying each one, passing the fastening thread between the cells. The balls should be placed quite close to each other, but so that the product turns out to be as comfortable and uniform as possible. The rug should lie beautifully and not stick out.
The world is full of abundance, but a true housewife will definitely want to make such a cute rug herself! Moreover, feel free to get to work, even if you don’t have any skills in handicrafts yet. Diversify the interior of your home and enjoy your own skills!
We recommend creating such a rug together with your children and getting incredible pleasure from the result!
Pom Pom Rug for Kids
It is very easy to make a fluffy pom-pom rug for a baby with your own hands. And in general, making pom-poms from threads is easy and enjoyable. These fluffy balls decorate any clothes and household items, and rugs made from them are a real joy for small and large inhabitants of the family nest.
To make a fluffy rug you will need:
- Threads of any colors;
- Perforated base;
- Scissors;
- Hook or long needle.
There are many ways to make pom-poms. Craftswomen use cardboard devices, forks and their own fingers.
Our grandmothers used to wind threads on thick paper circles, this method is old and time-tested. Craftswomen who want to create small pompoms for children's clothes or hats wind threads on forks.
The manual method is suitable for making pompoms for a rug. Four fingers of the left hand are used. The threads are wound around them in one direction until the winding reaches the desired volume. Then the fastening thread is passed between the 3rd and 4th fingers, exactly in the middle of the pompom and tied several times with strong knots on both sides of the pompom.
In this way, a large pile of soft balls is made. They can be of the same color or completely different contrasting colors. Next, you will need a base for the work. This can be a mosquito net with large cells. Using a hook or a needle, 2 ends from the pompom ties are passed through adjacent holes and tied with strong knots on the back side.
Fluffy circles fill the entire space of the base, forming a soft, bright carpet. All excess threads are cut off from the inside, and to be sure, the plastic base is covered with thick fabric.
Pom-pom rugs can be round, oval, or square. The dimensions are set on the base, and then the space is filled with fluffy pom-poms. Such soft mats are perfect for a child's room, where the baby can crawl, play, and relax on an airy cloud of fluffy threads.
