By: Sheila Exner Pouff Several people have mentioned the Pouffe Machine that has been shown several times on Aleene's TV show. The idea is great and would have lots of uses, but the initial expense would be prohibitive, at least for me. The other day I saw a show with Carol Duval and she had made her own! a cardboard box as the base with a hole cut in the middle the size of a toilet tissue roll. She then just layered different things over the hole, pushed them down with the tissue tube, and tied the result with ribbon. She used foils, tissue paper and nets.
