Can I Make This? Floor Pouf

February 3, 2012

Happy Monday, everyone! Did you have a nice weekend? Mine was rainy but productive and a little relaxing.

I came across these floor poufs the other day on Refinery 29. I love the colorful idea for extra seating space in a small apartment. But I do not love the price tag. $249? Way too steep for me.

So I’m wondering, lovely blog friends, do you think I could make them myself? I wonder what’s inside them – just lots and lots of pillow stuffing? Something stiffer that helps them keep their shape?

Adding these to the list of sewing projects I’ll hopefully get to soon!

    I bet if you found a stiffer pillow form, or pillow insert (whatever you want to call them) and just made a cover for it, that would be good! I never have had good luck with stuffing something, haha! Good luck – those are really cute!

    The poufs are great, but that price tag is definitely too much. I think you should try to make them, but you’ll need something much firmer than pillow stuffing if you want people to sit on them and not just sink to the ground. Sadly, I don’t know what to suggest. Straw?

      Hmm, yes, straw maybe and then a layer of stuffing on the outside? I think we’re getting somewhere 🙂
