2. Cut out of the cardboard two identical circles for the top and bottom; apply to the base of bottles and securely fix the tape, wrapping in a circle and grabbing the cardboard and bottles.
3. From the filler (sintepon or foam rubber) we cut out three blanks: two round ones for top and bottom, one rectangular for the side. We tighten the stock of the puff and connect it with threads, using a stitch over the edge.
4. We make details of knitwear of the same size and we also tighten them with an ottoman, fix them with seams over the edge. Our soft ottoman is almost ready.
5. Now you need to zadekorirovat received workpiece. You can pick up a beautiful fabric and sew a cover out of it on the same principle that was used for tightening with knitwear. You can also crochet a yarn from the yarn-grass circle for the top, and on the spokes - a rectangle for the sidewall, and the bottom is made of fabric for greater strength.
6. Having tightened the ottoman with such a cover, we will get a nice and soft piece of furniture.
