Using fabric scissors, cut scrap fabric into a circle shape that measures 14” in diameter.  Put circle aside.

Fill plastic sandwich bag with ½ cup of uncooked navy beans.

Fill the rest of the bag with polyester stuffing. Place over top of the beans.

Insert the driftwood into the middle of the bag through the polyester stuffing with one end poking out of the bag in the center. Seal the bag closed on both sides of the driftwood.

Lay the fabric circle with right side facing down and place the filled bag in the center.

Loosely wrap an elastic band around the driftwood and let it fall to the top of the bag.

Begin folding the fabric edges up and into the elastic band.

Work one side at a time until all fabric edges are folded in.
