DIY- Living Room Pouf

I have several art teacher-type friends and we do our best to get together every month and create or experience creativity. This month, we spent a Saturday working on whatever project we had going and sharing some projects with each other. For example, my friend one friend taught us how to do photo transfers onto tile to make some super cool coasters. (I did a Star Wars themed set for my husband!)

My teacher friends and one husband who tagged along :)

The project I brought to teach everyone was a little sewing, following this pattern HERE for a DIY floor pouf. I was very apprehensive to teach people how to make one, since I hadn't made my own yet, but the directions provided on the tutorial were easy and simple and it went great. I would say the only hang up for me was installing the zipper. I wasn't clear on the directions, so I ended up doing it how I thought it made sense and it worked out okay! I'm so excited with the way ti turned out, I plan on making another one for the office as soon as I can find the right material. Check out the pictures below and follow the link to make your own!

All the separate pieces I cut out!

The zipper that gave me a run for my money.

Finished floor pouf, so cute!
