You need to make sure of a few things before an attempt to clean your rug.
How to make a rug out of yarn pom poms.
Around 2 3 per skein roll.
This tutorial will show you how to make a yarn pom pom.
It will be used to make the pom poms for the rug.
Make a cardboard pom pom maker.
Be sure to check thrift stores and second hand stores for lower prices.
The pom poms will be tied to this to form the rug itself.
1 if the one you find is too big you can always cut it down.
You will create a lot of yarn confetti when trimming the pom poms so spread out newspaper or have a paper grocery bag handy to trim the pom poms over.
The thicker your yarn is the fluffier your pom poms will be.
My rough estimate would be about 80 100 pom poms per square foot but this would depend on the size of the pomps you ll make.
To keep the backing from fraying you can use duct tape.
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.
Also if you use the harder plastic rug for backing it won t fray as much.
Cut a rectangle of cardboard about 3 5 x 5.
After you have created the pom poms it is time to attach them to the rug pad.
