Things You'll Need

• Fabric
• Glue and/or hot glue gun and sticks
• Scissors
• Pins

1. • 1
     Separate box lids and bottoms.
   • 2
     Lay one top on floor, open side up.
   • 3
     Insert narrow end of box bottom into the left end of the box top, forming a standing L-shape. The open side of the box should face inward.
   • 4
     Repeat steps 1-3 with the other box.
   • 5
     Turn one L-shape so that it forms a standing 7-shape, with the narrow end of the box on the floor. The open sides should face inward.
   • 6
     Insert the base of the 7-shape into the right end of the L-shape. This will now be a U-shape.
   • 7
     Insert the top of the L-shape into the left end of the top of the 7-shape. You will now have an open rectangle that looks like a picture frame.
   • 8
     Insert foam batting into the base of the frame. This is the mattress.
