I'd like to try making one, but my last sewing attempt didn't go well (my wife literally had to stop me as I went to throw the machine because the thread kept breaking). I typically don't shy away from trying new things, but me & finess don't typically go together.

Get your self some of this type of upholstery thread. I wouldn't use a welt like the video shows, that is just adding another complexity into the project. If you use a heavy upholstery material, you won't need any welts.
I bought the material for my cushions at the same upholstery supplier. They had a few bolts of material on clearance, it was around $5/yd.
