When you get the instructions I also would like to have it thanks & Merry Christmas

I make these all the time for children age 2 years and older. I cover the juice cans with old socks then sew the socks together to make the petal shape. I only use padding on the top. Both top and bottom have the cardboard cut into petal shapes. I wrap the cans (that are sewn in a petal shape) with fabric . All around the outside of the 6 outer cans. Use cord to tie the fabric on. Sew the extra fabric on the top and bottom to the socks and the side seam. Cut top and bottom fabric larger than the petal shape cardboard. Center on cans around cardboard and sew around petal shape top and bottom.
