One of the practical and interesting things in the room is the ottoman. It happens absolutely any forms, sizes, colors.
You can enter it in any of the rooms and in different styles. If you are thinking about how to make a ottoman with your own hands, several useful ideas in this regard will come in handy. But the main advantage of such an object is a wide selection of materials for creation.
Colorful ottoman
Sewing a bright ottoman from fabric is not a difficult task.
Before starting work, you should prepare:
- fabric of different colors;
- lining fabric;
- filler;
- sewing machine;
- needle with threads;
- 2 large buttons.
As a filler, you can take a synthetic winterizer or thick foam. Then the pouf will turn out to be moderately soft and will keep its shape.
The first stage of work is a pattern. Draw a circle on paper the size you want to get a pouf on. Divide this circle into 12 identical parts. Have fewer colors? You can alternate them or make a division into 6-10 parts. Finished patterns are applied to the fabric and triangular shreds are cut. Cut them with a margin that will be stitched. Similarly, the lining fabric is cut out.
The next step is stitching. Grab the petals of the circle between each other on the sides, and then sew them on the sewing machine. You should get two round multi-colored bases - the top and bottom. They need to be qualitatively sewn from the inside. Leave one piece unstitched to fill the pouf.
The final stage is filling. Place the required amount of filler inside the case. The pouf will immediately become voluminous. There should be a lot of syntepon or foam rubber, so that the pouf does not significantly change shape when pressed. Sew the last part carefully. And close the stitching place of the petals in the center of the circles with large buttons. Ready multi-colored pouf with your own hands.
Plastic bottles as a basis for pouf
Plastic bottles have many everyday uses. When a considerable amount of them has accumulated, you can make a ottoman with your own hands.
You will need:
- about 40 pieces of bottles with caps;
- soft foam lining;
- cardboard;
- wide adhesive tape;
- fabric for cover;
- needle, thread.
Take the bottles with tightly screwed caps and use adhesive tape to connect them to each other so that they form a filled circle. 2 circles must be cut out of cardboard. Their diameter should coincide with the diameter of the bottom of the glued bottles. Use adhesive tape to firmly attach cardboard to plastic containers. Frame for ottoman ready.
Then you should prepare foam for lining. 3 blanks are cut: 2 circles of the same size with blanks from cardboard and 1 rectangle. He will wrap around the ottoman vertically. You can fix the workpiece using threads or a construction stapler. It remains only to sew the pouffe case out of the right fabric. It will not be difficult if you have minimal sewing skills. A cute ottoman with your own hands turns out quickly and cheaply.
Non-standard use of a plastic bucket
An old unnecessary plastic bucket can easily turn into a useful and beautiful thing - in a ottoman.
For ottoman you will need:
- jute rope or rope;
- construction glue gun;
- cardboard;
- the cloth;
- stapler;
- large button;
- microfiber fabric.
The bucket without a handle should be turned over and wound tightly around the rope. When wrapping, each stitch must be planted on glue so that the rope subsequently fits tightly.
When the task is completed, you can proceed with the construction of do-it-yourself soft seats for the pouf. Take the cardboard, attach it to the ottoman and cut out a circle of the same size as the bottom. It is also necessary to cut a circle from the fabric, but with a diameter larger by 10 cm. Connect the fabric to the cardboard in the middle with a button. Roll microfiber with a tube and start wrapping it between cardboard and fabric around the button. Use a glue gun to fix it. Wind the fabric until you get to the edges of the cardboard. Attach the upper fabric with a stapler to the back of the cardboard. The ottoman is ready, it remains only to connect the lid and the base with glue or tape Velcro.
Functional ottoman with a box inside
The task is a little complicated if you want to do it yourself and use the ottoman as a place to store things. The presence of a ready-made box will greatly facilitate the task. But to make it yourself is also possible.
For him, prepare:
- 4 equally sized rectangles made of chipboard. They will be the faces of the puff;
- 2 squares of chipboard for base and cover;
- wooden bars for fastening and small legs;
- screwdriver and screws.
If you do not have the skills of a carpenter, then it is better to ask for help in collecting the box from a more experienced and strong person. Assemble the structure from the parts, use self-tapping screws and glue to fix.
The seat is not attached to the ottoman, it must be removed and put on freely. So that during operation the seat does not move out, stops are attached to it on the inside. It is necessary to attach the stops at such a distance that when removing and putting on the covers, they do not rub against the edge of the chipboard and do not touch the bars inside.
The frame of the box must be covered with fabric, it can be fixed with a stapler. Inside the box is sheathed too. In the cover under the fabric you need to lay thick foam rubber for ease of sitting. This is how a practical ottoman with legs that fits into any style of interior is obtained. It is only necessary to choose the right fabric.

We all constantly want to change something in the interior of our apartment, and for this we are buying new furniture. But there is such an object as an ottoman, which you can not purchase, but do it yourself. At the same time, you can add some zest to the interior of your home. It can be made necessary shape and color, so that it fits perfectly into the room. In addition, the ottoman can be used not only for its intended purpose, in order to sit on it, it can perform many other useful functions.
How to make a ottoman with your own hands:
After the color, upholstery material, size and shape of the ottoman itself are selected, it is necessary to purchase a tool for its manufacture. If you decide to make a square ottoman with a removable lid (with an internal compartment for storing all the little things needed in the house) and a wooden frame, then the tool necessary for its assembly is purchased:
Screwdriver.
Manual electric jigsaw;
The material will require chipboard or plywood with a minimum thickness of 10 mm, a wooden beam 40 × 40 or 40 × 50 mm, metal corners for furniture, furniture wheels, glue and wood screws.
Work order:
Having decided on the tool and material, we begin assembling the frame for our future ottoman. It is necessary to perform several steps:
Markup.
Stripping material.
Assembly of the frame.
The construction of the cover.
Checking the strength of all joints.
First, the side walls, the bottom and the cover are measured on a chipboard or plywood sheet. All this is cut with a jigsaw. In the resulting blanks with the help of sandpaper, the edges of the cuts are cleaned. After this, the assembly of the frame begins. Using wood screws, the side walls and the bottom are connected. First, it is required to drill the outer sheets with a drill, which should have a diameter slightly larger than a self-tapping screw.
To increase strength, the outside of the structure is reinforced with metal corners.
After that, two bars are cut across the width of our product and fastened. Then pre-prepared furniture wheels are screwed onto these bars. They can be purchased at any building materials store.
The next step is to make the ottoman cover. A pre-cut and stripped cover is taken, on which the bars are fixed so that the cover fits tightly into the frame. The bars are mounted on self-tapping screws and additionally sit on glue. The length of the screws is chosen so that they do not stick out from the front of the cover.
Upholstery fabric is best selected from a sufficiently dense material. This will increase the life of the product.
The fabric is cut to size. One edge is fixed with a construction stapler, stretched, fixed again, and so on until the end. You can insert some kind of cord or canvas from the outside to improve the appearance. It all depends on your desire and taste.
On the fabric for the cover of the ottoman, you can make some applique, or sew on the side fringe, which will give the product an unusual look. After such simple actions, the ottoman is ready. Now it is possible not only to sit on it, but also to lay down a lot of small household trifles.
There are still a lot of designs of ottomans from improvised materials that can be made even easier and faster. But the example of a classic ottoman with a wooden frame shows that it is not difficult to make it yourself. In this case, you can significantly save finances and usefully spend time.

Poof - soft low stool. But in the vocabulary the diminutive form of this word, the ottoman, has taken root. Who decided to try to make upholstered furniture on their own, an ottoman is the easiest option. In this article, you will receive step-by-step instructions on how to make an ottoman.
Options
Poufs make various forms and materials of external decoration. For a small hallway, you can make a pouf with a built-in pedestal for storing shoes, for a child - a soft ottoman.
A pouf in a furniture set made of leather looks very respectable. Photos of various ottomans, including handmade, are presented on this page.
Frameless ottoman
The idea of \u200b\u200bhow to make a ottoman without spending a lot of money can be realized by making from improvised materials. For example, a soft frameless ottoman made of fabric.
For manufacturing you will need:
- Thick fabric
- Zipper for clasp
- Sewing machine
- Whatman paper for pattern
- Stuffing material
First, we make a pattern of the top and bottom of the pouf. On a drawing paper, we draw a circle with a diameter of 35-40 cm. Do not forget about the seam allowances. Transfer to fabric, cut.
Next, we cut out from the fabric a rectangle equal to the circumference of the seat of the ottoman. For a diameter of 40 cm, the circumference is 126 cm. The width of the rectangle will be equal to the height of the finished ottoman. Do not forget about seam allowances.
Sew a rectangular pattern first to one circle, then to the second. Sew a zipper. Tightly stuffed - the ottoman is ready.
The sizes given in the description are not dogma, choose them to your taste. If there are no solid material cuts, sew the necessary parts from various pieces of fabric. The best version of the ottoman made by yourself do-it-yourself patchwork style will collect many likes of social networks.
Ottoman "Pear"
"Pear" is another version of a frameless puff. It uses polystyrene as a filler. In fact, this is a bag with foam inside. It is very comfortable to sit on such an armchair because it takes the form of a body. Our site will tell you how to sew a ottoman bag from improvised materials with your own hands and what you need to do this.
Unlike the previous version, ottoman pear is made of two bags. They are inserted into each other, and the filler falls asleep. If necessary, the upper cover can be removed and washed.
The filler bag is made of a dense fabric, for example, jacquard. The outer case is made of a variety of fabrics - dream over it.
For each cover you will need a fabric 1.5 m wide and 2.2-2.5 m long. Two zippers will be needed. For the inner bag - from 40 cm, for the outer - 1 m.
Filler is polystyrene. It is a harmless, hypoallergenic filler. Polystyrene is sold in stores for frameless furniture.
If you make a ottoman pear according to the most budgetary option, then packing foam can be used as a filler. Pieces of polystyrene foam crumble into small balls, but this is a troublesome task.
Foam balls stick to everything, fly apart from the slightest ripple of air. To clean up the room where the polystyrene crumbled, only a vacuum cleaner will help. For one ottoman, 120-140 liters of polystyrene are needed.
Note! 
For paper patterns we produce blanks of parts, we sew bags. Then, we fill the filler in the inner case. We put on the top cover, fasten. Done.
Hauling
Another way to make a new piece of upholstered furniture is to update the upholstery of the old. The choice of fabrics in stores selling furniture accessories is large. You can find information on how to beautifully sew an ottoman with your own hands on our website.
For the banner you will need the following materials and tools:
- Upholstery fabric
- Foam rubber - may be needed if the old began to break down
- Stapler, staples
- Sewing machine
- Scissors, knife, measuring tape
We disassemble the old ottoman, remove the staples holding the fabric. Gently unfasten the old upholstery, it will serve as the pattern of the new pattern. In addition, the necessary amount of new fabric can be calculated from the old upholstery. We evaluate the state of foam.
You can sew a new one by the standards of the old upholstery and just fit the ottoman. And you can give the ottoman a new design, add folds, lines, screeds to the upholstery. To do this, you need a little more fabric.
Foam Replacement
If the old foam rubber began to deteriorate, then it is easy to replace. To do this, foam rubber of appropriate thickness is required. Foam with a density of 25-30 kg / m3 is better.
Note! 
We draw an ottoman seat outline on the foam rubber and cut it with a sharp knife. In furniture manufacturing, foam is glued to specialized glue. At home, you can use any glue that does not contain toluene.
