After all, in order to make such charming decorative rugs-stands from scrap materials, you will only need half an hour. We recommend involving the younger members of the family in the creative process, so there will be work for them too. Read about what other decorative accessories you can make together with children.To work you will need:

  • yarn scraps,
  • pieces of thick rope (tow),
  • fragments of fabric,
  • needle,
  • thread,
  • device for making pompoms (can be purchased at the stores "All for Needlework".

Depending on how much scrap material you have on hand, you can make one or more placemats.

Step one

We twist the rope into a snail.If you use a long piece of rope, your snail will be big, if a short one - small. This will be the base of our rug. To prevent it from unraveling, we fix it with masking tape.

Step two

Sew the rope base directly along the tape. You can sew by hand or on a sewing machine. You need to make at least four seams going through the center.

Step three

Take a scrap of fabric and cut out a fragment according to the diameter of the disk, not forgetting about seam allowances. Now carefully sew the lining fabric to the base with an over-edge stitch.

Step four

If you have little helpers, thenThe fourth stage of the master class can be combined with the first three. That is, while you are preparing the base for the rugs, children can make decorative pompoms from the remains of yarn. This process will be much easier and more fun if you use a special device for making pompoms, which is sold with instructions. We have already talked about how to make pompoms without additional tools in one of our previous .

Step five

Place the finished pom poms on the rope circleand sew them. Make the rest of the circles in the same way. They can be completely different in size, quantity and volume of pompoms. The main thing is to stick to a certain color scheme. The finished rugs-stands can be used separately or as a single decorative composition (by sewing them together). Your product is ready. But the most interesting thing is that you can always build it up and make it bigger, up to the size of a carpet, as soon as you have some rope, yarn and free time again.You will find more ideas for spring decor .
