Connecting the Sides

Sew the sides together, and stuff w/ fiberfill as needed. Fluff and mold into shape once done.

*If you are extra crafty, you can make a round pillow to insert instead of stuffing with fiberfill. I am not that crafty though, so you are on your own for instructions on how to do that.
