Wrap it and stuff it.....

After ten complete wraps around the footstool, I like to start stuffing the space created between the top layer and the bottom layer.  You can use several items for stuffing .  I used triangular pieces of cardboard with this project, but you can also use kraft brown paper (the type used for brown lunch bags).  Crumple it up real well before using it for stuffing.  It makes it easier to use.  I have seen seats stuffed with straw, pieces of cloth, and even the moss from a Cyprus tree.  After every ten wraps or so, stuff the space to keep the seat firm.  Coninue wrapping and stuffing until you run out of space on the side rails.
