• We cut out 6 details from the fabric: 4 of them should be equal in height and width of the side wall of the pouf (properly close the bottles), and 2 others should be equal in width and height to the cardboard covers at the top and bottom.
• We spread foam rubber or synthetic winterizer between the bottles and cover the bottle with it outside. Sew the details of the fabric of the ottoman and apply for inspection to the bottles along with a soft gasket. If everything came together well, finish the seams.
