Barbara,
I made mine a long time ago.  You'll need a piece of naugahide cut in a circle 
about 8 inches around, and a circle, same size of some sturdy fabric (denim, 
duck, etc), and a strip of the same sturdy fabric about 2 inches wide, and long 
enough to go around the circles.  Essentially you're making a little flat round 
pillow.

But before you get crazy with sewing your little pillow, you need to use a 
permanent pen to draw concentric circles on the naugahide piece, and lines that 
cross in the center, your circles should be crossed by lines dividing them (the 
circles) into at least eights.  These will be your guidelines for work.  
Obviously the lines cross in the center.  I hope this makes some sort of sense. 
 I can't draw in email!

Sew your little pillow, but leave a seam opening for the stuffing.  Stuff very 
hard with fill (wool is best).  Sew the seam opening closed.
