The latest trends on HGTV and in home decor stores are the use of woven pillows and floor poufs in boho style home decor. Many of these floor poufs are made with heavy woven fabrics, like rugs, and cost $60 or more. So when I found some cheap boho style rugs, I knew I could make some no-sew giant floor cushions using my favorite Surebonder glue gun.

Place 2 of the rugs together, right-sides together, and glue the outside edges. Make sure the seam is completely glued and you don't have gaps or holes. I used this high-temperature full-size glue gun and the tough stick glue stick as a second step to adhere the seam together with a strong bond.
Flip the glued rugs right-side out. What I did next is a little trick that I did when I was making some cushions for our Pop Up camper recently.
Create a fake seam by folding a little crease on the end and then glue it together. Once the folded area flue is dry, you can spread it apart and it looks as if there's a seam there :) This is a sewing hack that I did when I was sewing our camper cushions and it worked out really well. I didn't have to cut the fabric and there wasn't a big mess trying to sew a million pieces together.
Once you have all 4 of those corners glued together, you can start stuffing your pouf. One side is going to be open while you're working on the other side. I just started putting my pillows inside with the other end open on the table. I used 18-20 inch sized throw pillows.
Take the third rug and cut it in half. Glue the third rug half to the top of the pouf (glue all 4 sides). I ended up cutting a little strip off the end and you can actually use that little strip as a little pull handles on the sides of your pouf if you want to. I chose to skip that step, but you can add something extra to the pouf using those strips :)
Flip the pouf over and glue the remaining third rug half to the pouf, but this time, only glue 3 sides. Remember, the pouf is still inside out.
Remove all the pillows through the one opening you left unglued. Flip the pouf right-side-out to reveal the cute little poof case that you created. Make sure all the corners are completely closed and there are no gaps or holes.
Restuff the pouf. I used 6 throw pillows on each side so it wasn't lumpy on the sides but it gave it a smooth appearance. I put 2 old towels in the center of all the pillows. Once I was finished with the towels in the middle, I put a pillow on top as well. So again, there's a pillow on each side.
Lastly, fold down the material in the opening that you left and glue the ends to close the seam.
