Instructions

1. We begin by making the pom poms. Take the yarn you have selected and spool it around and around your hand. Exactly how large or small you decide to make your pom poms is up to you.
2. Set that carefully aside when it reaches the correct bulk, and separately cut a long piece of yarn.
3. Now, you are going to take that solitary piece of yarn which you cut, and you are going to carefully tie it around the spool you bundled up before. Try and get it right around the center. Tie it securely. I recommend using a square knot so that it does not slip.
4. The next step is to cut through all the little loops of yarn in your bundle.
5. You now have created a pom pom. To give it a neater appearance, take your scissors and carefully trim around the entire thing to make it as even as possible.
6. At this point, you should check the dimensions of the rug pad you are using. Figure out how many pom poms you need to create in order to cover the entire surface without any gaps. You will get the best look if you pack the pom poms pretty densely together. This will make for a fuller appearance.
7. Next, repeat steps 1-5 as many times as necessary in order to create all of the pom poms you need. While making the pom poms is quite easy, it can be time-consuming if you have a large area to cover. But I recommend taking your time so that you can achieve full coverage without any gaps.
8. After you have created the pom poms, it is time to attach them to the rug pad. Starting with the first one in the corner of the rug, take the long ends of the yarn that you used to tie off the pom pom and push them through the mesh of the rug pad. Keep them relatively close together as you do this. Once you have done this, it is simply a matter of tying the two ends together underneath the rug pad. Once again, I recommend using a square knot as this is not likely to slip. You may want to tie a double knot just to be extra sure that it will hold.
9. Once you have attached the first pom pom, is simply a matter of attaching the rest one after the next in the same fashion. Work your way across the top row until you get to the opposite corner. Then proceed to the next row, and so on.
10. Once you have fully covered the rug pad, simply turn it upside down. Use your scissors to cut the dangling ends of thread. This will prevent them from snagging on anything underneath them. That's it! Just like that, you have created a stunning rug which looks and feels ridiculously comfy and luxurious. A small rug like this can fit in an entryway, a bathroom, or another small area. A larger one can grace the center of a room.
