I am not sure if I should show how to make them circular and put the bottom on and secure by stitching all the way around before putting on the binding.

Yes, I would like to see how to put them together included in the demo.
Include the initial cutting and folding methods.
Include the link so they can get their own pattern.

Does your pattern show the octagon shape? Here is a link for binding different angles which may interest members.

Pretend your demo is for someone that hasn't seen this pattern. Start from the beginning and continue step-by-step until you have the finished project.

Pass around the step by step demo so the guests can see each step.

Practice your demo and time it to get an idea of the length of your presentation. Practice the demo showing the projects. Number them according to the steps so you have the right item at the right time. I like to use a small demo board to hold items too. Make a few samples as door prizes to give away to members. They will love it!

It is fun to be the presenter and a great experience. I try to do one presentation a year for our local group. Relax as you will be with friends. If you have a mishap, no one will probably know about it. You can always put one of them on your head like a hat for a few giggles if needed.

Good luck and let us know how it goes on presentation day!

PS: you may want to include a few methods on cutting bias binding.
