We make mats from yarn with our own hands: a master class

Simply and quickly decorate your home interior can be using different methods, one of the most practical is to make a fluffy rug with your own hands out of yarn. It is not difficult to manufacture it and, most importantly, it is not costly at all.

Carpet of pom-poms

The functionality of such a product is high. It can become a bright decoration of the living room, a comfortable coating for slippery tiles in the bathroom or even a street mat for giving.

We need:

• Yarn of any colors (but not less than 10 coils);
• A building mesh of the right size (you can use a mesh for the carpet);
• Ruler;
• scissors.

Let's get to work.

1. Cut out the square of the size you need from the building grid. You can choose another form, here everything is decided by fantasy. Very nice and unusual look rugs made of yarn, made with their own hands in the shape of beasts. The head, paws and tail are marked with a pencil and cut out, and after the rug is made, the remaining parts of the product can be tied with a hook.
2. Pom-pom can be done in several ways. For more voluminous, two cardboard discs are needed (pompons are made for hats), a circle is cut out in the center and both discs are wound with threads. Then the edges of the threads should be cut, and the middle tightly tightened and tied. The pompon is ready. The second way is simpler. We thread the thread on the fingers folded together, carefully remove and tie in the middle, we cut the ends of the threads with scissors. It turns out something that resembles a bow in shape.
3. We make the necessary number of pompoms. Be sure to leave the middle thread, then we will fasten them to the rug. We start to work from the corner and move strictly in a straight line. In order for pompons to hold on better, it is better to skip the ends of the threads through the net several times.
4. Now the ombre effect is in fashion, for it you can pick up yarn of similar shades and tie pom-poms of dark tones first, gradually turning to light ones.

Thick mat

Such rugs made of yarn, made with their own hands, are very practical. They can be made from the accumulated residues of the thread. The thickness of the product is also chosen independently, choosing a comfortable option for yourself. The functionality of such a piece of interior is limitless, it can be laid on the floor, and a soft seat for your favorite chair or even a comfortable bedding for your pet.

We need:

• Yarn (of any texture and density);
• Crochet hook 12 mm.

Let's start knitting our rug.

1. You need to take the threads from several balls at once (in total they can be up to ten pieces).
2. Based on the thickness of the resulting filament, we select a hook. It should be so large that knitting is dense, but in moderation.
3. Such a rug has a classic rectangular shape, so the chain of recruited air loops should match the length of our product.
4. Each subsequent row knits a loop into a loop, clinging to both sides of it. We fix the rug to the width we need and proceed to its strapping.
5. Here you will need a hook with a smaller number (8-9 mm), so that the edge of the rug is tight. Stitching thread can be selected in color or contrast. To compact and form a beautiful edge of the product, 3-5 rows will suffice.
6. Practically made a rug of their own made from yarn, crochet on it you can tie any decor - flowers, petals of fresh greens, everything depends on the size of your imagination.

Round Carpet

Still our grandmothers wove such rugs of yarn with their own hands. But the technology can be greatly simplified by making a weaving version of this product. We need:

• A lot of old knitted t-shirts;
• Hula Hup;
• scissors.

In each family accumulate over time things that you can not wear, but throw it away, for this idea they fit perfectly. It is most convenient to make braids from T-shirts (T-shirts) and other knitted garments, which can be cut into long rings of fabric. This will allow you to fasten the ends of the belts to each other during the weaving process using a conventional loop and make the work as simple and convenient as possible.

1. We cut rings of the same length and width and distribute them in a circle strictly perpendicular to each other, the distance between the strips of knitwear should be 10-15 cm, no more.
2. Prepare strips of fabric in advance, they will need a lot. We begin the weaving with the central part of the circle, alternately passing the thread down, and the next covering from above.
3. Such a rug of knitted yarn can be done in one to two hours. In the end, we do not forget to fasten the knitted threads, cutting them in half and carefully knotting them.

Rug rug

Very budgetary option, which will require a little more time, but it will save the old rubbish in the closet and become a pleasant decoration of any interior.

We need:

• A lot of old unnecessary things;
• Large hook;
• Sharp scissors.

To make rugs from ribbon yarn with your own hands, you must first prepare the original thread. To do this, on a flat surface, lay out our thing, neatly peeled at the seams, and begin to cut out long fabric ribbons from it (the longer they are, the less knots will be on the finished product). In order to avoid tangling, we immediately wind our homemade thread into a tangle.

Important points

If the color of the threads (old clothes) is different, it is better to reel them in different tangles and tie it in turn. In the process of work, when you need to add a new thread, fold the first one and form a loop from it, into which pass the second, tie a neat little knot. For knitting it is better to choose a hook more, so that the finished product is not too dense.

Making a rug:

• The process begins from the middle, as in ordinary crochet; First we make a small chain, close it and then continue to tie the rows in a circle;
• We make sure that the rows are level, not tied;
• We fix the product to the size we need, fix the thread with a knot - and our knitted rug from yarn has already been made with our own hands.

Master class for making pom-poms

Each self-respecting craftswoman tries to decorate her product after its manufacture. Nodes and other defects in work are easiest to disguise with fluffy pompoms, there are several ways to make them:

• Classical - the thread is wound around the discs, cut at the edges and contacts in the center, the advantages of this method - the pompom turns out to be voluminous, the disadvantages are to wind the thread in this way for a long time;
• Fork - used in the manufacture of a large number of pompoms, here the yarn is wrapped around the teeth of a fork or similar device made on its own, is also cut from the side and connected by an additional thread in the middle;
• Rectangular - the easiest and fastest way, for which the sleeve of a toilet paper perfectly fits. It should be folded in half, one thread for fastening to stretch along, and the rest to wind along the entire length of the sleeve.

Cons that are important to consider

The choice of the right material plays an important role in making the rug. Each type of thread can behave differently in contact with water. Therefore, buying yarn for knitting in the store, it is worth consulting with the seller about this. A product made from an old rag that has experienced more than one wash is not so prone to deformation.

The disadvantages are the loss of time, because it's much easier to go and buy a ready-made rug in the store. But he will no longer have an individuality and will become an ordinary object in the interior.

pros

Rugs of yarn with their own hands to make easy, and most importantly - it's very economical. So, for example, for a rug in a bathroom of medium size only 2-3 coils of thread are needed. Even if you compare the price of a new yarn and a finished carpet in a store, the difference will be significant.

Experienced in this business craftsmen create real woven masterpieces. But even in the absence of skill, rugs from the remains of yarn can be made with your own hands, following the scheme exactly. Such a product will always be exclusively designer, as the choice of the color scale and the material for its production remains for the master.

And, finally, this is a pleasant lesson that will help to remove stress, relax, and during it you can enjoy listening to your favorite music or watching a movie.
