Finishing the back of pom pom rug.

Finishing a latch hook rug helps to ensure the rug holds up to the test of time and it requires little more than rug binding and a sewing machine. The pom poms will be tied to this to form the rug itself. Following that design makes your life easy and you ll finish the pom pom rug faster. 1 if the one you find is too big you can always cut it down to size.

Step 1 cut all of the edges of the finished rug leaving two complete empty squares all around. This one above was for a smaller pom pom the rolls below are for a larger one. Tie once then pull the rolls out. We liked the look of the rug to have different size pom poms.

The tails will attach our pom to the rug backing. When you are trimming your pom poms leave the string tail nice and long. Use the remaining three sizes of pom pom makers and make several pom poms in varying sizes colors and yarn weights. Set the smallest pom pom maker aside as you will not need it.

The bigger the rug the more yarn you ll need. It will be used to make the pom poms for the rug. Around 2 3 per skein roll. Cut another piece of string and weave it through both of the rolls so it wraps around the whole thing.

When you make your pom poms make sure you cut a nice long piece of string and double it up to wrap around the center. Now tie even tighter with the rolls out. That should leave about 1 2 inch of the canvas grid on all sides. It is fluffy and cozy and the perfect addition to my boho bean bag in my reading corner.

I hope you got inspired and off you go to diy your own unique pom pom rug.
