After I took my daughter to college, I saw that she still needed a couple things.
After running across this simple DIY project, I thought this was a perfect addition for her dorm room!
Its just darling and she loves it!
The extra storage comes in handy and gets things up and out of the way!
Cut the foam as close to the size of the board as you might.
You could use two layers of foam per board if you want the seats to be extra soft.
We felt that the one layer was just fine though!
Next, youll need to cut the fabric pieces.
The measurements listed above for the fabric are very generous.
To cut each piece we simply laid out the fabric underneath the cut board and cut.
Now youre ready to fold and staple.
You may need a few extra staples to ensure that everything is secure!
Once the fabric is completely secured on all sides, youre ready to attach the ribbon.
We put the ribbon pull on the short side of the seat after measuring to find the middle.
Use a 10 inch piece folded in half.
You may also want to use a lighter on the ends to keep the ribbon from fraying over time.
Now, all you have left to do is pop the seat on top of the crate!
I also LOVE the fact that they are multi-purpose: a seat and a book storage item in one!
Watch how Krystlyn Graces step by step tutorial so you could make one of these adorable crate seats!
