- Yarn in your favorite colors

Instructions
Start by thinking up a pattern. Polka dots are fun for kids, but you could also draw shapes, or your very own pattern. Cut a small piece of cardboard about 2 inch wide as a template for making even sized pom-poms. Those little details bring this design to life! Wrap the edge of the yarn around the cardboard about 15-20 times. If you want plusher pom-poms simply use more yarn.
Cut the yarn as well as a piece about 6-8 inch long. Pull the yarn off of the cardboard, and tie a knot around the very center of all of the yarn.
Cut all of the loops on each to make the pom-poms, then even out the ends with your scissors. Take care to leave the two long pieces of yarn.
Using your pencil and ruler, mark out your pattern on the back of the rug.
Thread both pieces of yarn through the needle. Find the mark on the back. Pull the needle all the way through and off of the pieces of yarn completely. The pom-pom should be very tight against the rug, before you tie it off in the back.
Trim any yarn that is sticking out of the back past the knot.
Finish the desired pattern you have in mind and let your toes enjoy the finished piece in your powder room.
