    Take your white fleece and tear little pieces from it.

  3. Step 3 3

    Put the pieces of fleece on your card board(you know,the one with your pattern on) keep layering it,until its thick enough.3 or 4 times is enough.

  6. Step 6 6

    Now stroke it down with your hands.for the first hour you need to be very gentle,after that you need to poss the foam out.keep stroking the bag for an our or more.Until you notice that it is getting firmer.

  7. Step 7 7

    Turn the hole thing on its back.you will see that the fleece got over the card board.You need to fold it on the card board.Its like your wrapping the cardboard up with the fleece.
