Step 1: Measure and cut sisal rope
Make sure you have at least 3-5 different sizes.
Step 2: Coil rope using hot glue
Make a few coils like this, with just plain rope.
Step 3: Coil rope with spandex
Hot glue the spandex to the end of the rope, and wrap around the rope.
Step 4: Arrange design and hot glue together

Step 1: Cut a rug mat into the shape you want
Cut it to the size and the shape you need.
Step 2: Wrap yarn around toilet paper rolls
How many times will depend on how fluffy you want them and the yarn you're using (thick or thin).
Step 3: Separately cut another strand of yarn
Cut a random strand of yarn separate from the roll you just wrapped (about 7-10" should be good).
Step 4: Tie the new piece between the rolls
Tie the yarn together on one side, but don't create a knot just yet.
Step 5: Remove roll and cut the loop in half
Slide one of the toilet paper rolls out from the yarn and cut down the center of the loop that is left.
Step 6: Repeat for other side and tie well
Take the other toilet paper roll out and tie the strand that is wrapped around the the center into a tight knot.
Step 7: Trim and shape the pom pom evenly
Trim the poof so that all the strands are even and consistent with one another. Leave the tail on!

Feed the tail from the separate strand through the grids in the rug mat and tie it in place.
Step 1: Clean your rug and cut loose strands
Vacuum your rug and spot-clean any major stains. Cut away any loose fibers or pilled threads.
Step 2: Prepare your light paint
Use a foam roller for better coverage. You can use any light paint color you would like.
Step 3: Paint your rug in two coats
If you'd like a flat base, you may have to apply several coats of paint.
Step 4: Add guidelines with tape
The tape will act as guidelines for you to draw out your pattern accurately.
Step 5: Cut out cardboard shapes and trace
Cut out the desired geometric/bohemian-style shapes and trace around them with a Sharpie marker.
Step 6: Draw and color the design
Bohemian style rugs are full of patterns that are overdyed or muted with a blend of bright colors.
