I love this and what you do is amazing but I would love you to have a go at a pom pom double bed blanket in lilic, lemon, pink and a bright yellow

[@pattig3336]

Wow a double bed size couldn’t imagine how many pom-poms you would need for that

[@ToniRainbows]

I love making pom-poms so much. You have so much patience to do a full rug! Jeez that’s wonderful. I love the colours! X

[@AimsysAntics]

Pom-Poms are great, aren't they? I nearly cried when I got halfway there and running out of pom-poms, so glad I carried on though! Thanks for commenting and subscribing, it's great to connect! 😊 X

I'm going to make one for my family and friends. My son wants his black and red😊

[@JannaKarsjens]

Because I have made knitted and crocheted slippers for kids, I found using slip-proof shelf lining (available at most stores that carry household products) works just as well as the slip-proof flooring material.

[@AimsysAntics]

Thats a great idea!

[@staceyfukushima2052]

I'm acutally thinking of making a "rug" for my son's room. He put his bed on the floor underneath his loft bed, so I was thinking of making him a rug to go on the top where his bed is supposed to be. Something for him to crawl/lay on, and this seems like it could definitely work

[@AimsysAntics]

Good luck with making your own! Just to warn you the rug can be a bit bumpy underfoot, but I think it depends how you tie the pom-poms to secure them. xoxo

[@sylviawilson972]

[@lindafrancavilla-xz3gi]

I love the rug but I have one question, how do you wash it?

[@AimsysAntics]

Glad you like it! You can spot clean it with a damp cloth, however it is very hard to clean. The best bet is to create new pom-poms and replace them. Be careful is vacumming as well, as the pom-poms can become unattached. xoxo

[@costat9995]

I was planning to make a rug. I wasn’t sure what to buy to tie it to. I found your video after I went shopping. Do you think latch hook canvas would be ok to use? Thanks for your advice.

[@AimsysAntics]

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Yes, I reckon the latch hook one will be fine to use, it will probably help it go a lot smoother. Hope you have fun creating yours! Xoxo

[@nikegibarszki4573]

Awesome, lovely rug! 🥰I'd love to make a pom pom rug too. Is there any material that you use for covering the backside of the rug or just the mat? I'd like to make as a gift and i'm thinking it will be more heavy-duty and stronger maybe. 💪 Do you have any advice? Thanks for ideas and videos! ❤️

[@AimsysAntics]

Glad you like it! I have it as just the mat with the tied bits of wool. I guess you could use felt and stick it to the underside, however it may make the rug slippy on a hard floor. It might make it more durable. I have found that a few of the pom poms have come loose and the wool sheds, so make sure that you tie them tightly! Thanks for watching and hope your pop-pom rug making goes well! xoxo

[@chijiokejohnchizoba3922]

So lovely and fluffy, please what is the name of the brush you used

[@AimsysAntics]

You can use a pet brush or a lint remover brush to help them get fluffy. Hope that helps! 😊

[@AimsysAntics]

There are a few tricks with making the pom-poms in batch that might make it easier on the arthritis. Hope you are able to have a go at making, and it turns out how you want it to! Thanks for watching and glad it gave you inspiration! xoxo

[@ginniferleflore9893]

So pretty! Maybe someone asked this already, but what are the dimensions of your rug? I want to get an idea of how much yarn I will need to make an area rug that is 5 feet by 8 feet.

[@AimsysAntics]

Glad you like it. I think it is roughly 40cm wide by 95cm long and I used approximatley 200 pom-poms to make it. My guess is you are going to need a lot of yarn for a rug that size! Hope that helps, and the rug making goes well! xoxo

[@sheresemills4871]

Very nice

[@AimsysAntics]

Glad you like it! 😊

[@katiehowat6137]

Can you hoover it? Thinking about making one for myself! Yours looks great😊

[@AimsysAntics]

Aww thank you! If you can set the hoover on a low setting then you might be able to. I found that the hoover sucked the pom poms off the mat when it was too powerful. You can turn it upside down and pat any debris out, then hoover that, which might be easier/ less risky of losing pom poms haha! Hope you have fun making yours! Xoxo

[@garnetbaxter2211]

Pom Pom by hand can be far easier for most people

[@AimsysAntics]

Yeah, pom-poms by hand can be easier. I found the pom-pommaker easier for me :) Thanks for watching :) xoxo

[@traceyallen6773]

I would love if you could show me how to make a pom pom double bed blanket as I want to have a go at this as I am enjoying your videos

[@AimsysAntics]

A pom-pomm double bed blanket sounds interesting! Do you mean a full pom-pom, like the rug or a blanket with a few pom-poms? This rug is pretty heavy, so i'm not sure what a full blanket would be like, but can always look into it! Glad you are enjoying the videos and hopefully they are inspiring your creativity! Thanks for watching xoxo

[@adaezetina7640]

Wow this is colorful. Is it washable?

[@AimsysAntics]

Glad you like it, I love the colours together! I think spot wiping would be ok, however, I wouldn't advise putting into a washing machine. The pom-poms will more than likely become unattached, and take a long time to dry. I would advise replacing some of the pom-poms as needed. xoxo

[@rabinagulfraz7756]

Hi!! Lovely rug! I really wanna make one!! How many cm wide and length is your anti-slip mat? Thx so much, love it a lot!🤍Pls, answer my question, Aismy!!

[@AimsysAntics]

Glad you like it and it has inspired you to make your own! I didn't really measure it when making it, but having just checked, it is roughly 40cm wide by 95cm long. It required around 200 pom-poms to cover it fully. Unfortunately it has lost a few pom-poms with use, but these have been easily replaced. I would advise choosing a wool that isn't overtly fluffy, like the velvet wool I used for some of the grey pom-poms, as these shed constantly and you will be clearing away fluff all the time! Hope this helps! Aimsy xoxo

[@mwikalicatherini6092]

Wow

[@diaforatango]

Nice one!!!! What's the dimensions of the rug and how many pom poms have you used?

[@AimsysAntics]

Glad you like it! I didn't measure it out when making, however I have just measured it and it is roughly 40cmX 95cms. It took roughly 200 pom-poms to make, however you may be able to use slightly less. The pom-poms on the edge tend to curl under and have to be straightened out when moving the rug. Hope this helps! Aimsy xoxo

[@ruthmyers6272]

I think this diy is awesome! A. Lot of work but awesome! I love it, it is worth it. :=)

[@AimsysAntics]

Aww glad you like it! Definitley a lot of work and maintenance but well worth it! Thanks for watching and commenting :) xoxo

[@nikkijay8389]

This makes me want to go barefoot and walk on the very fluffy rug 🤤

[@AimsysAntics]

Oh it feels lovely underfoot. Just make sure the pom-poms are tied tightly, as the more wear the higher chance of the pom-poms shedding and coming undone! xoxo

[@tracyepaul7872]

I might have a solution for the pom-poms falling out. Just dap a little bit of glue on the knot. That way, you can cut the tails at the knot.

[@AimsysAntics]

That is a great idea, I didn't think of that! Thanks for the tip, will have to give it a try! xoxo

[@Aphrodite011]

Where can I buy the rugs? Thank you 😊

[@tammyqp]

How would you clean it? Can you wash it??

[@AimsysAntics]

You would have to spot-clean it rather than place it in a machine. The pom poms are easy enough to remove and add new ones. I would be careful vacuuming it too as the pom poms can come loose! Hope that helps 😊

[@CuteFox7339]

I know this video is from a while ago but if you see this I was wondering what type of nonslip mat you used

[@AimsysAntics]

I just bought one from the cheaper shops near where I live. You could potentially use the non slip mats for the dashboard in cars, however, the holes would be maybe too fine to tie the pom poms on. Amazon may have some like the one I used! Hope that helps 😊 xoxo

[@nomalungelondlela]

Lovely work 💯❤ Can somebody do a "pompom" word count? 🤣

[@Msgenhosp]

How do you clean it...can it be washed?

[@AimsysAntics]

With difficulty! You can do the old fashioned way of batting debris out and using a damp cloth to spot clean; however you wouldn't be able to soak it in a tub or machine. If some of the pom-poms become too disgusting, the best thing is to replace it with a new one. On hindsight and with use, it is quite time consuming and slightly impractical! Hope that helps :)

[@quluqunopasika6871]

Hi I'm in South Africa I'm suffering of getting the non slip grip mat material what advance you can give me to get it

[@AimsysAntics]

Hello! You could try some form of rug underlay if that is available. If you also look into Dycem, I know they make non-slip products, so this could be stuck to the bottom of the underlay to stop it from slipping. I just bought the mat from our cheap shop, but you might be able to buy it online somewhere. Not sure if that helps, but happy pom-pom rug making :) xoxo

[@nat5benaliahryazna98]

where do you buy the non-slip grip mats

[@AimsysAntics]

I bought mine from B&M or Home Bargains, but you can usually pick them up from any 'cheap' shop or online. I reckon hardware shops will also have them, like B&Q. Happy Crafting! Xoxo

[@nataliawegiel5558]

[@NamuyombaBrendah-pb3tb]

How is that thing called on which I have tied on the pompoms, I mean dat long white thing long thing

[@patriciamurphy3125]

How many holes apart do you place the pom pom

[@AimsysAntics]

I think I did them approximately 2-3 holes apart, however, it did depend on the size of the pom-pom and how much one covered. I tried to place them so that the pom-pom touched. If they are too close together, the pom-poms tend to curl under the edge of the rug because they are too bunched, if that makes sense? Don't know if that helps? xoxo

[@saulgon7175]

Hi, how many rolls of yarn did you need?

[@AimsysAntics]

I am not quite sure how many rolls I used, but I need about 200 pom-poms for this rug. I would say you need quite a few rolls to make this many pom-poms. The thickness of the wool impacted on making the pom-poms, as you will use more of the thinner wool to make the same size pom-poms as thicker wool, if that makes sense? Hope that helps! xoxo

[@echc7849]

How long did this take to make??

[@AimsysAntics]

I made the pom-poms over a few days/evenings and then putting the actual rug together took a few hours. I would recommend breaking the project up, because making this amount of pom-poms can make your hand sore, especially using the scissor repeatedly to trim and cut them.

[@Freya1412]

How do you clean it though

[@AimsysAntics]

With difficulty!

[@amberburns4881]

Where can you buy the mats?

[@AimsysAntics]

I bought the mat from one of the cheaper shops in the UK (home bargains /B&M). You could try any of the bargain shops, or amazon for them. Hope that helps! xoxo

[@jacqlopezkuan5369]

hello dear what is grams of your yarn did u use?

[@AimsysAntics]

Hello, sorry I didn't see your comment. I am not sure what the grams of the wool is, sorry! I used a variety of thickness for the rug. The grey fluffy wool, I wouldn't recommend, as although it is really soft, it sheds quite a lot and I have lora a few of those pom-poms. Not sure if that helps xoxo

[@ashmishakarthikeyan4271]

How many grams wool did you use

[@AimsysAntics]

I think I used about 15 skeins of wool in total but had some leftovers. I couldn't tell you the weight of the wool exactly, but they were not thin or over-chunky! Don't know if that helps or not! 😊

[@fatimaismaili9131]

👏👏👌👌💐💐🇦🇱

[@lakishass]

What size are the Pom poms xx

[@AimsysAntics]

The pom-poms were made with the second largest pom-pom maker in this set - www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07MF74SPM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 whcih I think is the 6.8cm maker. Hope that helps? xoxo

[@valuetribe4504]

Can it be dry cleaned?

[@AimsysAntics]

I haven't tried to dry clean it. My advice would be to gently surface clean it, but if that doesn't get it clean enough, the pom-poms can be removed and replaced. xoxo

[@marybass3401]

Can you wash the Pom Pom rug?

[@AimsysAntics]

I would advise using a damp cloth to clean any surface dirt. You can replace the pom-poms if they become damaged or soiled, but a full soaking to wash would probably ruin it. Tip it upside down and tap on the back to release any debris too., use a vaccum at your own caution though. These tend to bring the pom-poms off the rug and will get stuck in the vaccum. Hope that helps?! xoxo

[@marybass3401]

@@AimsysAntics Thank you.

[@StarNichole]

how many yarn rolls did you use

[@AimsysAntics]

I can't remember exactly, but about 3 rolls per colour, but some may have used 4. I used some yarn that wasn't a full roll and others were brand new. Not sure if that helps? I would recommend buying more than you think you need, as the pom-poms do take more will than you may originally think. xoxo
