large piece of rolled foam
outdoor fabric (we regret specifics are not available)
zipper (length of pillow/foam)

Steps:

1. Measure desired diameter of the ends then multiply the diameter by 3.14 to get the circumference. Use circumference for length.
2. Measure desired width of bolster and add desired seam allowance to all edges.
3. Use measurements to cut foam piece or vice versa. Cut fabric.
4. Insert zipper into the seam that joins the ends of the body piece. Stay-stitch, and then clip into seam allowance on body piece.
5. Open zipper. With right sides together, baste an end piece to one edge of the body. Spread the clipped seam allowances of the body so seam lines can be matched.
6. Baste the other end piece to the other edge in the same way. Stitch both of the end pieces to the body.
7. Remove bastings and trim seams if necessary.
8. Turn right side out and cover foam.
