First determine the size and shape of the puff. This is important, since it depends on the shape of the puff, how you position the bottles. Using an adhesive tape, wrap all the bottles tightly together.

Now we need to cut out the base of the ottoman from the cardboard in the number of two parts. Their shape also depends on the design of the puffin. Let the ottoman have a cylindrical shape. Accordingly, the base parts will be round.

Next, make the layers in the following order. Cardboard base, bottles, the next cardboard circle. Again, firmly bandaged with scotch tape.

Our future ottoman should be soft. Therefore we take foam rubber, we cut out from it three details: two parts equal to round details from a cardboard and one rectangular form. With this piece we wrap our design and fasten its sides with each other, for example, we can sew them with threads.

We should get something similar with the photo:

At this stage old shirts may come in handy. They can be wrapped in an ottoman, in order to fix it even more securely. Although, this step can be completely missed.

Now we will tighten our ottoman with the appropriate cloth. It can be plush, corduroy, jeans - any fabric that serves for upholstery upholstery. Here you will need a basic knowledge of cut and sewing.

Well that's all. Our ottoman is ready. Tip: if you decide to attach the padded legs or wheels, the bottom base will have to be cut out not from cardboard, but plywood.

Here are some more examples of how padded stools can look.

Finally, we'll tell you a little secret. Furniture from plastic bottles is better to make in the winter season. If you hold the bottle in the cold, the strength of the furniture will increase, and it will become more reliable and stable.
