Crib Bench. TUtorial
So here is my breif tutorial on how i made my Crib Bench!!!
I love the idea to make a crib bench because you can make two matching ones to decorate from the heads of the crib, OR if you have two kids that used the same crib, you can make them each there own. OR you can even cut the second head in half and use it for the arms!
I cut 2 by 4 and made a box like this~!
Screwed my box on about 19 " high, i think that is the perfect height for the seat of a bench, then i got some scrap MDF. i cut it a little higher and about 1/2" longer on the sides because im going to add some bead board and i want it to fit in between them.
I nailed on the top slats, added my bead board to cover the exposed 2 by 4, and then added a slat at the bottom so i can put a basket or something on it, and it also makes it alot stronger.
Im not the best at giving tutorials, but i hope you can use this....I would love for you send me pictures of your finished projects.
CRIB Bench, tutorial comeing tomorrow!!!
I just LOVE this, i have been searching for a tutorial on how to make a bench out of a crib. Finally i just made up my own because i couldnt find one that i liked. I think it turned out so good for my first one. So come tomorrow and see how you can make one out of those old cribs that are laying around everywhere. :)
