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!
