Beth's Bed



Beth's bed was pretty simple to make. I wanted to have under the bed storage, so I didn't make it like a box. The bed measures about 20" by 10" and about 5" high. I was able to make it from one piece of foam board from the Dollar Store. I cut two of each piece and hot glued them together to make the bed more sturdy. I may eventually add a simple headboard.

 

The bed length gives a little bit of room on every side, as you can see below. Since Beth's room is kind of on the smaller size, a compact bed was essential.

 

Here you can see the doubled foam board.

 

I made a simple mattress/cushion using an old sheet. A cut a rectangle and sewed the edges close. The inside is actually folded up tulle. I had extra that I wasn't using, so I put it in there.

 

The bed still needs blankets and pillows, which I am excited to start on. Next I want to make a bunk bed of foam board for the other two girls. I think it will work...
