How to make a floor pouf – 12 different DIY poufs in a curated list of free pouf tutorials and patterns to buy.
My whole family loves poufs! The cats and dogs love jumping over them, the kids love building with them, and I love putting my feet up on them when I’m working. We’ve lost a few over the years to pet damage and I thought I’d round up some plans to DIY replacements. It can be a fine line between beanbag, footstool, and pouf but I tried to focus on poufs you can sew, that are big enough to put your feet on, but not necessarily big enough to function as a beanbag.
