Divide both circles into 16 equal sectors. To make it easier for yourself, first divide in half, then into 4 parts, then into 8 and 16.
Transfer the pattern to the fabric or draw on it right away. You need to make 2 of these blanks from the canvas. Now sew along the markings, making 16 stitches from the outside to the inside. Put a synthetic winterizer in the pockets formed. Sew up the top of the disc box.
If you want to make handles, then weave a braid from three strips of fabric.
To make a lid for the box with your own hands, fold two canvases of fabric in a pile, place on a disc, draw with chalk, cut out with a 7 mm seam allowance on all sides. Place these fabrics over the top and bottom of the disc. If you want the lid to be soft, then cut out two circles of padding polyester and overlay the disc first with them and then with fabrics. Blindstitch around the edges.
