Add some color to your home!
I had a lot of pom poms. Then, I saw the idea of a pom pom rug on Pinterest, but I did not want a rug. I thought of making a smaller and no-sew version of the project and it turned out perfectly! Now, I can use these Pom Pom Plate Mats for the plate that I use for my keys. I love how this mat gives my home a pop of color!

Step 1
First, Trace and cut out a circle shape from your piece of cardboard. This will be the base of your mat.
Step 2
Next, Gather several pom poms and your glue gun. It is best to use pom poms that are all the same size.
Step 3
With the hot glue gun, glue pom poms onto one side of the cardboard circle. Make sure to cover the whole circle with pom poms.
Step 4
If you realize that you do not have enough pom poms to cover the whole cardboard circle, trace and cut out a smaller circle on the other side of the cardboard circle to make less area for pom poms.
Step 5
You can also use smaller pom poms to fill in any gaps at the edges of the circle.
Step 6
When you cover the whole circle with pom poms, Take 1-2 jumbo pipe cleaners and hot glue them to the edges of the cardboard circle.
Step 7
Now, you can use your mat for any cute little plates or bowls. I use these as places to put keys, jewelry, and change. Enjoy your new creation!
Step 8
Also, you can alter this project as you like! Maybe you want to try using pom poms that are all the same color, or use a different shape for your mat base
