Turn yarn into something magical with this DIY pom pom rug tutorial. It’s colorful, cozy, and way easier than it looks. Perfect for kids’ rooms or craft lovers.
You know how trends tend to always come back around? Today's post is all about using yarn to make these adorable pom poms and turn them into something amazing!
Remember how I said I would be using more color in my daughter's room?
Today's post features pinks, golds, turquoise, and, of course, a little white... I mean I can't not have some kind of neutral! Here's my daughter's new adorable DIY Pom Pom Rug!
Unfortunately, the exact tool I used to create this tutorial is no longer available. However, fortunately for us, there are many different tools available to make pom-poms.
Simply wrap, cut, and tie. A wall hanging, pillow, or rug can be quickly created without complicated tools.

Instructions
Step 1: Create the Pom Pom's
The most challenging part of this project is truly selecting the colors. You can go with any color combination that suits your decor.
I was initially going to make a square rug, but my daughter decided halfway through the project that she wanted a rectangle rug. That's okay, it was an easy adjustment.
Overall, I made approximately 90 pom-poms.
I used a variety of sizes and colors. There's no exact science to this!
I also really liked using different weight yarns for a more dimensional effect.
Step 2: Mark Your Pattern
Next, mark your pattern onto the Mesh Fabric.
What worked best for me was to make a mark every 8 squares.
This picture actually shows every 4 squares, but that's because my indecisiveness was passed down to my daughter, and I couldn't keep up with all the changes!
Step 3: Attach Pom Poms
Begin tying your pom poms to the mesh fabric where you marked your dots.
When attaching, be sure to use the strings that you used to hold it together. Otherwise, they will just pull out.
You can also hot glue the knots just to provide a little more durability, but it's up to you.
Step 4: Enjoy
And that's it! This project can be a little time-consuming, but the results are so fun and exciting!
My daughter was so into this project that she is now making her own stool cover!
Have a beautiful day sweet friends!

Very cute! I love pom poms. It took forever but I made my daughter a latch hook rug. It's never leaving her room, lol! Visiting from Merry Monday.

I think I'm going overly ambitious here, but I think that a huge one would be just what I was looking for in my daughter's room. This rug is adorable!

Well I can see where my disposable income for Nov. will be going. Will have to wait to buy weaving kit and Rya-tie kit.sounds and looks like things I can do.
We don't get paid again til Oct.25th.At least there's only 4 weeks between paydays this month. Last month was another 5 week between paydays - again, have more 5 weekers than we do 4 weekers. Makes it so fun to figure out how to stretch our SS checks.
Both the Pom-poms and weaving really appeal to me so will be busy keeping my hands busy so I don't gain weight over holidays. Those doggoned holiday cookies and fudge get me every time, lol.
Have wonderful week.

Looks like a great gift for the Grands!

What makes the Ryatie easier than making pompoms in the usual way (using cardboard or papertowel tubes)? I'm interested in making a rug, and came across the ryatie tool but it looks like the ryatie tools are just squares of wood to replace the usual cardboard. Am I missing something?
