There is nothing more unimaginative than leaving your walls absolutely bare. Putting pictures or purchasing some sort of art work is one option. However if you crave something different then make your own art by following these instructions.

Supplies:

* Computer
* Printer
* Photoshop or similar (optional, but helpful)
* Clear tape
* Masking tape (optional)
* Paint pen in any color.  I like a chisel tip.
* 8” x 10” canvas
* Staple gun
* Thin cotton fabric
* Day light and a window (the poor man’s light box)

You can choose any color or pattern fabric that you like, but a subtle, mostly monotone (one color) pattern will probably work best.  A “fat quarter” will give you more than enough fabric.

First, we need an image.  Use google image search or search on flickr.com for your subject.  It may help to include the word “silhouette” with your search term.  A simple, clear silhouette of a single object will work best for this project.

Make your own Fluffy Foot Pouffe by following the simple instructions laid out here.

Materials needed:

Fur Fabric
Scissors
Sewing Machine
Cotton fabric

Instructions:

The measurements for the following pouffe are as follows
20 inches (50cm)in diameter for the top
sides are 12 inches (30cm)wide by 60 inches(150cm) around

Using the pattern place on material and cut out the circle. The surround piece will need a join to meet required length.

Cut both rectangles out and join them to fit around the pouffe. Pin the top circle to the side length using pins and securely sew it around the circle. Join the sides to the top. You can pull out any fur that gets caught up in the stitches later.

Using some cotton fabric cut another circle out the same size as your top piece. Cut this circle in half and hem each straight line.

Pin and sew this into the sides as you did the top, leaving enough space to be able to fill it with heavy toy filling.

Turn it all right side out and stuff with filling.
