West Elm Knock Off

Seriously you guys, I’ve been coveting these floor poufs since the first time I saw them. I don’t know about you but I don’t have an extra 250.00 laying around for a glorified floor pillow. My first thought when I saw the price was “Wow that’s a utility bill payment.” LOL. I’m so cheap. So On I went poufless and sad. That is until I was perusing pinterest for insperation and I found this fantastic tutorial over @ Retropolitan She took a 3 dollar IKEA Rug and made one! Right up my alley. Cheap, gorgeous, and easy. Not to mention the ENDLESS possibilities with fabric choices.

I pretty much followed her tutorial to the T. The only difference is I didn’t add a zipper to mine. The only reason I didn’t do so is I just didn’t have one at the time. So instead of adding a zipper I just hand sewed the pouf shut after I stuffed it. Just a side note Stuff the pouf much more than you think you should. It makes it look so much better when it’s tighter.

    I love it! I don’t think I could spend $250 on a floor pouf either but it seems I don’t have to go poufless forever thanks to your post 🙂

    This is beautiful, I prefer the DIY one over the bought one. That is crazy for the price. I have some smaller poufs but I think a bigger one would be more functional. I love this idea!

      Thank You! Not to mention the bigger ones are more practical extra seating for adults. Have you ever seen a grown person try to use on of the smaller ones as a seat? Hilarious! But not to flattering, I’d actually like my guests to return.lol

    Utility payment… hahahaha I think the exact SAME thing when I see the prices for poufs. (and other things) I also have pouf obsession what is with these little squares that go on the floor that have me drooling uncontrollably? It’s not like I lounge around on the floor all day, (i wish i did though) if I did I would never get up again. Not with out a lot of panting and a hoist anyway! 🙂

    How do you think it would fair outside if i made one using outdoor fabric?? Not sure what the beanbag filler is like. I would love a few of these for my screened in porch, but it does get wet in there if it rains hard. Thanks!

    What are the dimensions of the final product? We need something in front of our oversized chairs but I don’t want anything too big.

    Thanks!
    Love the fabric.

      Mine is actually 24wx24Lx18h It’s rather large but you could honestly do it any size using her tutorial. I think for my next one I’ll do it taller and not as wide.

      You’re welcome! I just love it when I can help people save money. That chair is part of my furniture set from restoration hardware. We got it, a couch,and the matching ottoman on clearance.
