In reply to Kimberly. I know exactly what you mean. I've found that adding a little hot glue in the middle of the pom pom can really help secure all those little pieces -- especially for toddlers! Jess

How do you keep the short yarn pieces from pulling out of the "belt"? I cinched the belt as tight as I could and tied it, but the pom pieces still keep pulling out. If I can't get them to stay in, I just wasted my last little bit of the color I need for the decorative work. Project is for a toddler, so they really need to stay in.

In reply to Angie reynolds. This is really similar: http://amzn.to/2fubVrj (aff link) I think you can likely find this type of pad at Target or Walmart too. :)

Where can I buy the rug mat? I've got a boat load of yarn and that pin pin rug is just perfect.

In reply to michelle. I can try to help you! What seems to be going wrong? I just tied them into the mat grid with the longer piece of yarn that I used to tie around the pom pom when it was created. Then I tied several knots to secure it to the mat. Does that make sense? Jess

I need some help with attaching the pom poms to the matt, I apparently am not doing it right or have the wrong type matt.
Where can I get help from?

In reply to jan. Ha--yes, the fuzz. That happened to me too a bit, but it generally stopped shedding by the time I finished the rug. I walked on my rug today to see if I could answer your question about the lumps. Mine def has lumps in it, but they're nothing I'd consider annoying. I find that they become far less noticeable once there are a lot of pom poms snuggled together on the rug.

i love love the rug. went straight out and bought pompom makers....easier for me.....and went to work. i am learning quickly which yarn NOT to use. i have more fuzzy bits all over the couch, chair, rug my blankets and my dog than i do in the pompom. i do have a question. does the 'lumpy' feel disappear when all is done? should i be making less dense poms?

In reply to Amy. Those colors sound lovely! Did you find any new scissors? They're one of my favorite things to shop for. (Besides yarn, of course. ;)

Thank you so much for sharing this pattern, someone recently asked me to make one and though I've been crocheting for almost 4 years..i think. I enjoy a good easy project and it was lots of fun, I made mine with stripes of mint, white and purple. BTW I really like those scissors in the picture, I'm shopping for some new scissors!
