I may order a kit just to have the pattern and idea on hand.
Yes, I used regular batting. And I didn't buy a kit or pattern, just grabbed an extra cardboard holder thingie from Starbucks. Laid it flat, added a 1/4" seam allowance, sewed (with right sides together and batting on top) around leaving a gap and turned right side out. I've seen some with fun floral materials on both sides, or with a person's name embroidered on a solid fabric...the possibilities are endless. :)
