Making a sofa out of plastic bags and used balloons

I had an old sofa structure in my house and I felt sorry to just dump it. So decided to keep it for something. Besides, I worked on a project involving thousands of balloons (You can check it out here) and I did not want to throw them away after being used, so I came up with the idea of using them as stuffing for the couch.

Step 1 Things you will need

This instructable has been made thinking of a couch but you can use the idea for cushions, puff sofas or stuff like that. In this case I had hundreds of used balloons, but you can use clean food wrappings, plastic bags or anything you can come up with.

Other things you might need:
-fabric
-big and strong (REALLY STRONG) bags
-stapler
-pins
-hammer
-cord
-any old sofa or chair structure

per chance is that 'material' what you might remember being the hand towel (to dry your hands) that was on a reel that you pulled to get more cloth towel machine things. at primary school i remember them haha

Hey! Way to go. remember, stripes and plaids are hard to work with, and it would probably have been less stressful to go with plain fabric than a pattern...but bonus!! you did it. BTW, your balloon arrangements are stellar!!!! Wooo Hooo! :0)

great structable i was recently at IKEA and they had a sofa that was missing the cushions, cover and legs. they were asking $1 for it. to me that was waaaaaay cheap, but Mrs Altomic said no way. this instructable would have worked perfectly with it.
