A great project for the school holidays or the whole family😃

Fiona from Henderson

With of this handy idea you can make yourself a lovely and fluffy little rug.
This rug is super easy to make.

You will need the following:
🔸Empty toilet rolls
🔸Wool in several different colours
🔸Scissors
🔸An anti-slip bath mat with small holes

Instructions:
🔹Place two toilet rolls together and wrap a good amount of wool around it. Next, use a little bit of wool to wrap between the two toilet rolls and then remove the toilet rolls from the wool.
🔹Tie a knot in the small piece of wool you used to keep the wool together and then cut open the sides of the wool.
🔹Use the scissors to trim the wool so it forms a nice round ball.
🔹Get out the anti slip bath mat and tie the ball to it.
🔹Repeat this process until the entire bath mat is covered in woollen balls like in the picture above

Once you’ve tied all of these woollen balls to the bath mat, you’ve got yourself a super cute rug!

See video as well is the above instructions seem a bit confusing.
Also there a few other ideas on the side panel of the video.:
