Smile make your own pouffe/footstool

Hi,
I recently saw a beautiful Lawrence Lewelyn Brown pouffe in Matalan(can't find pic online) but couldn't bring myself to spend that much money for it so I'm deciding to make my own. Does anyone know of any templates/sizing info that could help me or any step by step instructions? Any sewing experts out there that could help me out? I really don't want to mess it up as the fabric will cost a bit too.

TIA

Default update

Just an update:

Made a pouffe VERY smimilar to this one, using these instructions. I am very impressed with it and it looks lovely, i put small crystals on the corners of the top octagon and used a loose satin style fabric but lined with old curtains. Just a note the smaller one is actually quite a bit big.

HTH someone
