The pompom rug
If you are thinking about creating something soft to stand on, the best idea is to make a pompom rug. All you need is wool, scissors, a rug pad and 2 toilet paper rolls. Firstly, you should wrap the wool around the roll. It depends on what kind of pompom you want, a bigger or a smaller one. If you opt for a bigger pompom you need more wool. You should choose the pompom size and cut another piece of wool, tie through both of the rolls and make a knot. After that, you must pull the rolls out and snip the loops around the pom pom. For a normal pompom rug you will need 50 pompoms, so repeat this activity until you get all of them. Now, you can tie the pompoms on the rug pad. This is a simple decoration which will become the eye-catcher for your guests.
