Pompon Rug
Making pompons
There are several ways:
- Using the legs of the table. The yarn is wound on the legs, tied with thread. Cut in the middle between the dressings. The yarn is straightened out, and the pompons are trimmed. So you can get a huge amount of pompons.
- With the help of a fork. This item is used to make small pom-poms. A piece of thread should be left for tying. So, we wind the yarn. The ends need to be crossed and tied. We cut the side windings and trim the ball itself. This method is good for a large product. The result is neat dense balls that can be used to make a rug in the form of a bear, butterfly or flower.
- Using cardboard. Two circles of the same size are drawn. Cut a small circle in the middle. A thread is laid between them and crossed. She is the tying link of the pom-pom. Then the yarn is tightly wound on the pattern. Note that the hardness of the pom-pom ball depends on the thickness of the winding. The threads are cut from above, the cardboard patterns are moved apart, the ends are pulled together, and the pompon is tied. This method is cheap, but time-consuming.
- With the tool. In specialized stores you can purchase templates of different sizes. The yarn is wound and cut - it turns out the ball. Such a device is quite expensive, but it pays for itself.
To check the density of the balls they need to be compressed. If the shape remains the same, then the pom-pom can be used. The ends of the threads that you use for dressing should not be cut - they are necessary for binding to the base.
Preparing the base
To do this, you can purchase a special canvas, mesh for greenhouses, or tie a polypropylene mesh.
And now proceed directly to the manufacture of a rug. Perform a beautiful product in the form of a bear.
To do this, first perform a test pompom.
Measure dimensions
Now on the fabric draw the following elements:
- The body in the form of a trapezoid.
- Rear oval paws.
- Two poluovala - front paws.
- Circle - for the head.
- Two semicircles - for the ears.
According to the patterns, we knit the patterns and sew all the details to the fabric base with the exception of the body. We sew eyes and nose to the head, 4 fingers in the form of circles to the front paws. On the body you need to tie 9 rows of pompons in the following order: 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 8, 9, 8. Next, you need to sew all the pieces.
This principle can be used for almost every animal or insect.
