It is always nice to make something with your own hands for your interior! After all, you create something that cannot be found in anyone else, something unique, putting your whole soul into your work. Today you are offered a diagram of how to make a rug from pompons.
The scheme is very simple, but first you need to figure out how to make a pompom.
1. First you need to make a template. To do this, take a thick cardboard and draw two circles using a compass. As a result, we get a cardboard bagel. The length of the pile of our pompom will be equal to the distance between the smallest and largest circles «donut». To complete the work, you need two bagels. According to the same scheme, it is necessary to make a second one to create a symmetrical soft rug with your own hands..
2. Take a piece of yarn about thirty centimeters long, and lay it in a loop around the inner hole, leaving the ends so that they hang down. Then we will tighten the pompom with their help..
3. Begin winding the thread around the template from where the ends of the thread hang down. To secure, walk to the opposite end and then wind in the opposite direction. The tighter you wind the threads on the template, the more layers there will be and the more magnificent the pompom will be, which will give a soft rug with your own hands, additional attractiveness.
4. Then you need to put the scissors between the cardboard discs and cut the yarn along the outer circle.
5. Tie the thread tightly in the center to secure the resulting structure. To prevent the pompom from scattering, do not let go of the template. Next, you need to remove the discs from the cardboard. If the pompom is uneven, carefully cut off the threads that stick out to give it a rounded, even shape, as an uneven pompom will ruin the look of a soft rug with your own hands.

Small neat pom-poms are easy to make yourself with a fork. Wrap the yarn around the tines of the fork and cut it off. To create a green pom-pom in the photo, it was necessary to use about forty turns of yarn, for red – about sixty. Then cut the thread 10 to 20 centimeters long and push it around the skein between the middle fork teeth. Secure the ends of the thread with a strong knot, remove the skein from the fork and tie the middle again with the thread. Fluff up the pom-pom that comes out and trim the uneven edges if necessary.
Sew the resulting pom-poms together in the usual way using a thick needle and strong thread or using a crochet hook. Another option, how to make a rug out of pom-poms, is to take the fabric and stick the pom-poms over it. This option is extremely convenient for creating a soft rug with your own hands..
