soft trestle bed for a summer residence


To create a soft country trestle bed you will need:
• plastic bottles with a volume of 1.5 liters – 72 pieces;
• scotch;
• double sided tape;
• scissors;
• cosmofen glue;
• cardboard;
• a reel of any strong rope;
• foam rubber 5cm thick;
• artificial fur;
• thread and needle;
• knife.

The first link is created from three plastic bottles. One of them remains intact, and the upper part of the other two is cut off and thrown away. The resulting bases are put on the first bottle on both sides. There are 24 such links assembled for this model. Now the three links are folded into a section and tightly wrapped with adhesive tape. A total of 8 sections will be required.

Sections of bottles are connected together and secured with tape on all sides. A rectangle is cut out of cardboard, equal in size to the narrow plane of the plastic blank. You will need a piece of foam rubber of the same size. The cardboard is glued to the upper base of the product with universal glue, and additionally secured with tape on top.

Next, double-sided tape is applied to the sides of the workpiece, the top paper part is removed and a rope is pulled over the sticky layer. The rope canvas is laid in dense rows around the entire side of the model.The winding begins at the bottom of the product and ends 5 cm short of the top. Strips 6 cm wide are cut from fur fabric. and using “cosmofen” glue they are glued onto the walls that remain without winding. Strips of fur are also glued along the side edges of the rope fabric, this will fix the winding.

Now cut out a piece of fur fabric larger than the cardboard base, adding 7 cm to each side to bend inward. The corners of the fabric are sewn up with a needle and thread, and the fur fabric is put on the foam rubber. The resulting seat is glued to the workpiece by dropping a few drops onto the cardboard.
