A soft and fluffy rug made from pompoms with your own hands - a cozy miracle in the house

How to make pompoms

A pompom is a fluffy ball made from threads of suitable material. To the touch it is a delicate product, quite capacious and not prone to losing its shape.

Lots of pompoms make amazing rugs

There are several ways to make fluffy balls. In the first case, you need to take the yarn and wrap it around the middle and index fingers of one hand. Having wound enough layers, you need to stretch a thread between your fingers, which will intercept the loops in the middle. Using this thread we pull everything together into a roll. The loops are removed from the hand and cut on each side with scissors, the threads are straightened and fluffed. The pompom is ready!

The second option involves pulling the threads not between the fingers, but clasping 4 fingers of one hand, as in the photo.

The second option for making a pompom

The third option gives us many balls of the same color at once. Turn the chair upside down and wrap yarn around the two nearest legs. Now we pull the yarn together with threads at an equal distance and cut it. One thread in the middle makes one pompom.

It turns out beautifully and quickly

There are several recommendations for creating high-quality pompoms:

• The most patient ones are asked to wind the threads on a wide round template or fork. The pom-poms turn out to be very fluffy and small in size;
• To make the balls elastic, you need to use straightened threads. If you take yarn from an old sweater, you first need to soak it and place it under a press;
• knitwear is cut into long thin strips, which are stretched during operation;
• If you tie the loops poorly, there is a chance that the ball will quickly unravel.

The method of obtaining a pompom from two cardboard templates is simple: we wrap the workpiece, then separate the cardboard, knitting everything with thread. Trim the loops and cut off excess lint

Pompoms turn into not only a carpet, you can decorate the room with something else

How to quickly make pom-pom balls

To make oversized floor mats, you need to prepare a lot of pom-poms. This labor-intensive work takes a lot of time, but the process of making balls can be speeded up.

A quick way to form blanks of any size:

1. Turn a small table or stool upside down with its legs.
2. Tie yarn to one support and wrap it around the second support.
3. Wind the threads evenly around the legs of the table or chair.
4. Using a ruler, divide the yarn into equal parts.
5. Pull the threads into tight knots and remove the yarn from the legs.
6. Cut each fragment, straighten the pom-poms, “cut”.

Having quickly produced the required number of blanks, you can begin sewing pom-poms onto the base. The wider the distance between the supports, the more fragments you will get at one time. By measuring different lengths on a skein, you can form pompoms of any diameter.

Master classes: let's make rugs from pompoms of different shapes

How good it is that human imagination is able to show itself in all its glory. Thanks to this, we use more than just one mold for rugs. Both round and square rugs can show off in your home, even a fluffy heart under your feet! Let's see how each shape is made.

Fluffy square: how to make a cool rug from pompoms

We select yarn and colors, get comfortable and begin to work. You can use mesh material as a base; this will be the best option.

The process is as follows:

1. Cut out the base.
2. We estimate how many pom-poms we need, if we arrange them in a checkerboard pattern for greater pomp.
3. We make numerous fluffy balls.
4. Sew each ball onto the base.
5. We are happy with the result!

We sew on the first row, and then repeat the remaining rows along it. We take care of the density of the product by tying the balls closer to each other. The base should not be visible.

Advice! The product will have a finished look if you make a border around the edge. And if you sew thick material from the inside out, it will be great!

Don’t forget to lay out the same rows of pompoms horizontally and vertically

A cute round rug made of pompoms - a piece of cake!

Round rugs look even prettier. They look great next to the bed in the nursery, will take their rightful place at the dressing table, and will perfectly complement the interior in the bathroom.

Single-color rug or multi-colored, in any case, it will be soft and fluffy

The master class is simple and clear: the main thing is to draw a circle of the required diameter on the base grid and cut it with scissors

Pompoms are also tied to the mesh, as in the square version on the wrong side of the product. Work begins from the center, moving in one direction.

Advice! If you have a heat gun, you can use it to simply glue the balls into place. However, this method is only suitable if the mat will not be used constantly.

A heart rug made of pompoms will bring love to your home

A heart-warming product for the feet and soul is made from a soft PVC foam mat and beautiful yarn. The work is carried out in the same way as in the case of a round carpet: first, draw a heart shape on the base and cut it out. Then they start making pompoms.

You can play with the color choice and get amazing results

Pom-poms are tied from the back, starting from any edge point of the heart

Carpet making [master class]

Hand-made masters use various techniques for making carpets from pompoms:

• When assembling an accessory from yarn, they use the linear method - the threads are wound on a round template, and after cutting they are trimmed.

• To create small pompoms, use a regular fork - wrap the yarn in a circle around the tines of the cutlery, then tie it in the middle with another thread, and cut off the edges with scissors.

• Balls from bags are made using a different method - polyethylene strips are tightly wound onto cardboard rectangles, after which the workpiece is cut on one side, tied and trimmed with a pompom.

In all three cases, the result is a well-made element that retains its shape well. This is easy to check - the carpet ball is crushed in the palm of your hand, the pompom is released, after which it should return to its original volume.

Square

The simple shape of a square can be effectively used in the design of a floor accessory made of soft balls. Making a square rug is a classic handicraft technique. To make such a product, first you need to prepare the pompoms themselves in the amount of 80-100 pieces.

To create medium-sized pompoms, follow these steps:

1. To make a carpet, there is no need to cut out templates - needlewomen wrap the yarn around their fingers. To get large fragments of the product, use four fingers, a small pompom - two.
2. Threads of yarn are wound on the fingers in 15-20 turns, and a separate free thread is additionally pulled between the fingers to tighten the skein into a strong knot.
3. Distribute the yarn evenly in the resulting bow and cut the loops. After fluffing the pompom, trim the excess thread edges with sharp scissors.
4. The threads that fasten the pompoms are not cut, but are used to attach elements to a base made of dense fabric or construction mesh.

After preparation, the elements need to be sewn to the base - the mesh. First, sew on the first row of 9-10 identical balls and form the remaining rows on it. If you plan to make a large canvas, you will need significantly more blanks. It is necessary to take into account the diameter of the pompoms in order to schematically make a square out of them, as shown in the photo below.

The elements need to be tied more tightly so that the finished product has a rich look and the base is not visible under the pompoms. Additionally, it is recommended to sew a edging along the edge of the rug, and sew thick fabric on the wrong side to hide the threads. Fluffier yarns make fluffy carpet balls.

Round

The original version of the pom-pom carpet is round in shape. The accessory will fit perfectly in a child's room next to the bed, in the living room, in a relaxation area with friends, in the bedroom in front of a bedside table or dressing table. A soft round rug can also be laid in the bathroom - the room will immediately sparkle with new colors.

You can make an accessory from multi-colored balls or elements of different diameters, placing pom-poms in a circle or in a spiral.

The tutorial for creating a round rug is quite simple. First we make blanks - pompoms. They can be made according to the same scheme as described above. Next, take the mesh material and mark on it with a pencil a circle of the diameter you need - this will be the basis of the future rug. All that remains is to tie the finished pom-poms starting from the center, gradually filling the circle.

To simplify the process of making a soft rug, you can not tie or sew pompoms, but simply glue them to the base using hot glue and a gun.

The resulting product will look more airy if, when creating pompoms, you wind more turns of yarn on your fingers and choose thick fluffy threads as the material.

Decorative mini rug [chair cover]

From colorful pom-poms you can create not only rugs, but also original capes for furniture. Such accessories look great in the interior of the kitchen, dining room, and children's room. To make a decorative mini rug for a chair with your own hands, use the technique of weaving pompoms on a fork. The small size of the cutlery allows you to create compact pompoms of the same shape.

Step-by-step master class on making pom-poms for a cape:

1. To work, use a regular fork and yarn.
2. Wrap the threads around the teeth of the cutlery.
3. Leave the extended end of the thread for fastening.
4. Pull the thread through the center of the wound yarn.
5. Tighten the knot tight and remove the resulting bow.
6. Cut the yarn at the ends - one pompom is ready.

The number of fragments depends on the design of the cape - square, rectangular, round. The threads that hold the pompoms together are pulled through the mesh base of the future mini-rug and tied tightly together, arranging the balls according to the chosen pattern.

The photo shows several options for covers for chairs, armchairs, and soft poufs. Every housewife will learn how to make such accessories using simple threads of colored or plain yarn.

Mat made from plastic bags

An original idea for the hallway and bathroom - a washable rug made from garbage bags. The product is soft to the touch, is not afraid of moisture and dirt, and is easy to wash.

Master class on making an accessory:

1. Cut two rectangular blanks from thick cardboard. The templates are 3 cm wide, resulting in pom-poms measuring 6 cm.

2. A handle from a garbage bag should be folded into a rope shape, placed between cardboard blanks, and the edges of the cardboard should be secured with glue. Garbage bags are cut into strips of the required size; you will need 12-20 pieces. The strips need to be screwed onto cardboard blanks, leaving one edge free for fixation.

3. Tie the rope from the handle of the bag into a tight knot, cut the strips on one side parallel to the rope, tie the pom-pom tightly and fluff it up.

4. The finished balls are placed symmetrically on the grid, keeping the same distance between the fragments, as shown in the photo. The pompoms are fixed to the mesh with a strong knot.

During the manufacturing process, you can use black garbage bags and colored T-shirt bags to make the rug more interesting in terms of design. You need to cut off excess threads from the bottom of the accessory; you can additionally hem a fabric or durable polyethylene base.

Fluffy carpet “Sheep”

The interior of a children's room should be colorful, unusual, and bright, so fluffy rugs on the floor will ideally complement the decor and appeal to children. The product looks like an animal, which will delight the child. The accessory can be placed near a child's bed, in a play or work area.

Master class on creating a lush “Sheep” carpet:

1. From light yarn, prepare soft pompoms in the amount of 29 pieces, including one ball for the tail of the lamb.
2. The pompoms are placed on a square base in even rows close to each other; sew a tail in the center.
3. From thick gray yarn you need to knit a sheep's face and two fragments for the animal's legs.
4. Knitting pattern for the muzzle: cast on 88 stitches on 4 knitting needles, knit in the round by 8-9 cm, decrease stitches on each circle by 4 loops.
5. The ears can be crocheted with air loops, glue buttons and beads in place of the sheep’s eyes, and knit four rectangular legs (pattern 15 loops per 15 cm with knit stitches).

Let's make rugs from pompoms made in various materials

We have already seen how floor carpets are made from yarn, but, in addition, you can make pompom products from other materials: fur, fabric and plastic bags.

Fluffy rug with fur pompoms

Are there a lot of nice, intact pieces of fur left? Great, they're worth putting into action! The process of making fur pompoms is different from those made from yarn.

To make a wonderful carpet, you need to choose the right size of each ball.

The size of the pompom should be such that when pulled together you get a ball with a cavity inside. It is better to choose a single cardboard template for all elements.

We cut out all the parts with a stationery knife and make 5 mm stitches from each edge (with a distance of approximately 1 cm) of the workpiece. Instead of a knot, we leave the ends of the threads 12-15 cm long free.

We make stitches of 5 mm on each workpiece

We slowly tighten each element, placing a little filler inside. A ribbon is also placed inside, which will serve as a connecting link between the base of the carpet and the pompom. The thread is pulled to the end, securing it to the ribbon.

Important! We hold each pompom over the steam for no more than 15 seconds - this will make their appearance complete and beautiful.

A rug made from old T-shirts: funny pom-poms under your feet

Rug with pom-poms made of polyethylene for the bathroom or nursery

An economical and neat rug is made from multi-colored plastic bags. If it gets dirty, you can wash it, dry it and put it back in place.

First you need to cut out two rectangles from thick cardboard, each 3 cm wide. This will allow you to make 6 cm pompoms. We fold the handle from an unnecessary bag into a rope and place it between two pieces of cardboard.

We cut the bags into strips and wind them onto the workpiece. Cut, tie, fluff

Having made enough balls, we collect them into a carpet

What to make a pompom from

Typically, pompoms for rugs are made from leftover chunky knitting yarn. These “fluffies” retain their shape remarkably well, do not get pressed down, and can withstand washing well.

In addition, you can also use old cotton T-shirts, cut into thin strips (up to 1 cm). Such a rug will be quite heavy and will quickly lose its original appearance, but if you have a bunch of unnecessary T-shirts, why not try to make something new out of them?

There is also a third option, which is more suitable for bedspreads - tulle pompoms. Lush, bright, light, but easily wrinkled, so they are more suitable for bedspreads and decorative pillows.

3. to the base, as close to each other as possible for good density, we tie 42 pompoms;
4. leave the last pompom on the tail and sew it in the middle of one of the sides;
5. We take yarn of a suitable color for the muzzle and cast on 88 stitches on four knitting needles, knit a circle of 9 cm in garter stitch. Now on each row we decrease 4 loops;
6. we crochet the ears using the single crochet technique;
7. we knit the legs using knitting needles of 15 stitches and 15 cm garter stitch;
8. Beautiful large buttons or embroidery will serve as eyes; we also do the same with the sheep’s mouth.

If desired, ears and nose can be made from small pompoms.

How to knit a rug in the shape of a bear cub

In a children's room it is good to place a rug in the shape of a bear. For such a wonderful floor blanket you need suitable materials:

• lighter yarn (250 g);
• light pink or peach yarn (100 g);
• hook and set of knitting needles.

We begin to knit the body and head. In order for everything to work out as it should, we first draw a life-size diagram on paper or newspaper. By periodically applying knitting to it, you can understand when it is worth moving to the next stage of work.

The dimensions of the carpet are small. The more yarn, the bigger the bear

First, we take the yarn of the main color and make many dense small pom-poms from it. The number of balls is calculated individually based on the size of the paper diagram. They need to be sewn onto the body of the bear, as in the photo.

Make 29 balls (1 per tail) from beige woolen threads and fasten them together with thread. Place the balls as close as possible to one another to make the sheep's fleece fluffy. Sew on the tail with threads. Use a thick gray thread to tie the animal’s face, legs and ears. Sew them onto the ball skin.

We knit the legs according to the following pattern: cast on 15 gray stitches, preferably from a double thread. Make 15 rows of knit stitches and bind them off. You need to tie 4 legs, tying them around the edge with black threads to create an imitation of hooves.

Now let's start knitting the muzzle.

To do this, 88 stitches are cast on 4 knitting needles. We knit them in a circle to a height of 8 cm. Each circle should be reduced by 4 loops. To complete this task: on the 1st and 3rd knitting needles in the first part of the row, at the end of the 2nd and 4th knitting needles, knit 2 stitches together. After decreasing, you will have 4 loops left - pull them together with thread, masking its end. Use small buttons or beads as eyes.

It remains to knit the ears for our sheep, this can be done using a hook: cast on 12 loops, knit with simple single stitches, then decrease 1 loop at the beginning of each row. At a distance of 5 cm the work is completed.

All elements are attached to the balls so that a sheep is formed.

• The head of the toy animal is colored with felt-tip pens (you can use other tools, but markers are brighter and more colorful).
• The limbs will be in the form of ropes. At their end there are large hoof beads.
• The head and legs are glued to the body from pompoms.

Making pom poms

A master class on a do-it-yourself pom-pom rug will help you make a decorative element that will suit you, because you decide what its size, color and even material will be. First you need to make balls from which the carpet will be assembled. There are several step-by-step instructions. All of them are not complicated, but differ in time spent and materials used. First option:

1. Prepare stencils. Using a compass, draw a circle on the cardboard, and another smaller one inside. Cut along the contour so that you get a stencil with a hole in the center, similar to a donut. The hole should not be large. Make another one like this.
2. The circles need to be attached to each other, but not secured.
3. Thread the yarn through a needle and wrap the edges evenly, passing the thread through the central hole. You can wind any quantity, the density of the product will depend on this.
4. When the winding is finished, you need to carefully pass the scissors between the templates and cut the yarn along the outer circle.
5. Spread the stencils slightly, thread a thread between them and tie a tight knot. No need to cut the thread!
6. Remove the cardboard base and flatten the pompoms.

The second way is to wrap it around your fingers. The advantages of this option are that you won’t need to cut out a lot of stencils, and it will be easier to adjust the size: you only need to wind the yarn on more or fewer fingers. Here's how it's done:

1. Depending on the desired size, wind the thread around two or four fingers (you shouldn’t wrap it around three fingers, because you will need to thread the thread through the center so that the pompom is not crooked).
2. Carefully pass another not very long thread between your fingers and tighten the knot, remove the yarn from your hand. As in the first case, there is no need to trim off the excess thread.
3. Cut the loops and flatten the ball. If there are longer tails sticking out somewhere, just trim them with scissors.

There is a third way. It is more suitable for creating small balls. Making a rug from them will be inconvenient and will take a very long time, but for napkins for the kitchen or covers for chairs - just what you need. For this manufacturing option, you will need a fork with four teeth.

1. Wrap yarn around a fork. The more there is, the fluffier the pompom.
2. Thread another thread between the central teeth, which will attach it to the base, and tighten the knot.
3. Remove the yarn from the cutlery and cut the loops.

It happens that a lot of pompoms are required for the intended purpose. Of course, you don’t want to spend so much time on an accessory, even though it’s so cute. Just for such cases, a way to quickly make a lot of pompoms has been invented. Description of the process step by step:

You need a table or chair (the greater the distance between the legs, the more pom-poms you can make at a time; you can even use the legs of a bed). You need to wrap the beginning of the yarn to one leg, then wrap it around the two legs

It is important to take into account that for a larger distance you will need more yarn, otherwise the balls will turn out loose and will look ugly. After this, you need to take the threads that will later be used to attach the pompoms, and tie the wound yarn with them at the same distance from each other. You can use a ruler. Armed with scissors, cut the yarn approximately halfway between the threads

The part of the pompoms that is tied to the legs needs to be cut in the same way. All that remains is to trim the edges of the balls, and you're done.

How to make a massage mat with your own hands from pebbles, chestnuts, or buttons?

Foot massage has a relaxing effect, relieves fatigue, and helps improve sleep. In addition, it has a general strengthening effect on the entire body. Since a large number of biologically active points are concentrated in the feet.

You can easily make massage mats with your own hands using available materials.

One of the available materials is sea or river pebbles. While walking along the river or seashore, collect several dozen small stones of approximately the same size.

Important: Choose rounded stones without sharp corners so as not to injure your limbs in the future.

When the stones are collected, wash them with water and laundry soap. It is also advisable to soak the stones for a couple of hours in a solution of water with potassium permanganate or in a soap solution.

Prepare a base for the mat: it can be a tarpaulin or other thick fabric. You will also need glue. Immediately take a good reliable glue, for example, moment. Hot silicone glue is not suitable for this purpose.

When the stones are dry, start gluing them onto the base. You can lay them out randomly or make some kind of pattern. There are two ways to glue stones:

• First apply glue to the base and then stick the stones on it.
• Apply glue to each individual stone and attach it to the base.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with How to properly collect tomato seeds at home: tips and a master class with photos

The second method will take longer, but it is more reliable. The stones will be firmly glued and will not fall off after a while. When all the stones are glued to the base, the rug should sit for about 24 hours. This way the glue will dry completely and the mat will be reliable and durable.

A rug made of stones can be placed in the bathroom or used only for massage. It is useful for adults and children to walk on stones. And if you preheat the stones, there will be double benefits for the body.

You can also make a rug from buttons of various sizes and shapes. It is very easy to do: sew many different buttons onto a fabric base. Any size rug is possible, but it is better to make it small. It can be easily rolled up and put away; after all, such a rug is not intended for constant walking on it. It is enough to walk on a massage mat for 5 to 15 minutes a day to engage active points.

• Nails
• Hammer
• Ruler
• Knitted fabric in different colors

Step-by-step production:

1. Drive nails into two opposite sides of the wooden frame at an equal distance of about 2-3 cm parallel to each other.
2. Secure the fabric strips vertically to these nails. This will be the base of your rug.
3. Now start braiding your hair horizontally, weave ribbons above and below the vertical ribbons.
4. Pull the braids close to each other.
