I wanted to try my hand at making a dollar store pouf, and I did it for less than $5! These nylon throw rugs appear at the Dollar Tree frequently, and they usually have some pretty fashionable color choices to choose from. I think this black and white stripe classes up the otherwise cheap &#8216;n cheesy nylon throw rug. But, if the dollar store throw rug is too, uh, cheapo for you, try a more expensive rag rug, or several lightweight placemats. Or, use this basic technique and a long piece of fabric. Check the end of the post for other DIY pouf projects in blogland.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Project Materials:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 nylon throw rugs, $3<\/li>\n<li>Acrylic yarn, on hand or $1 and up<\/li>\n<li>Crochet hook, on hand<\/li>\n<li>Sewing machine &amp; thread, on hand<\/li>\n<li>Something to stuff it with, on hand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Total: $3 and up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First of all, some nylon throw rug discussion. If you don&#8217;t like these cheap rugs, you can use slightly more expensive rag rugs (from Ikea or Target, about $3-5 each). When working with the rugs, avoid cutting them up at all costs, as they won&#8217;t hold together when the nylon strings that hold them together are cut up. Likewise, be gentle when working with the long edges of the rugs.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/dollarstorecrafts.com\/2010\/07\/make-a-pouf-from-throw-rugs\/2\/\">See Page 2 for Instructions &amp; Resources<\/a> &#8211;&gt;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dollarstorecrafts.com\/2010\/07\/make-a-pouf-from-throw-rugs\/\">&lt;&#8211;\u00a0 Page 1: Intro and Project Materials<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dollarstorecrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/pouf02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6611\" title=\"pouf02\" src=\"http:\/\/dollarstorecrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/pouf02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dollarstorecrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/pouf02.jpg 400w, https:\/\/dollarstorecrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/pouf02-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">To Make:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sew the rugs together:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sew two rugs, right side together, along the fringed side.

On your second row, decrease by the following method: Draw up a loop in next stitch. Again, draw up a loop in the next stitch. (There should now be 3 loops on the hook.) Yarn over hook. Draw yarn through all 3 loops on the hook. (One decrease made). Draw string as tight as possible between each decrease stitch. Continue around the rug until it&#8217;s gathered all up. This might take four or five rows around.<\/p>\n<p>For an illustrated guide to decreasing: (<a href=\"http:\/\/crochet.about.com\/library\/bl_decrease.htm\">How to decrease  in single crochet<\/a>)<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you don&#8217;t crochet:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use yarn and a large plastic needle to weave in and out of the edge of the tube, drawing as tightly as possible.
