Step-by-step instructions for making an ottoman to a bed

First of all, you need to determine the size of the pouf, and then cut out its details to create the frame.
Next, these details need to be twisted with self-tapping screws.
To ensure the strength of the corners and the radius part, we use a wooden beam.
After that, you need to nail the fiberboard with a pneumatic or manual gun to the radius of the puff. This can be done with ordinary nails.
Now you need to glue the upper and corner, side parts of the ottoman with foam rubber.
And now we glue the foam rubber with synthetic winterizer.Glue, by the way, can be used by anyone, but it is better to take glue without smell.
We cut the elements from the fabric in accordance with the size of the pouf, and then sew them.
We put the manufactured cover on the pouf.
So that the cover does not slip, you need to nail it with a gun to the bottom of the ottoman.
After that, the lower part is closed with non-woven fabric or the main fabric, which will add aesthetics to the ottoman.
And now you just need to screw the legs with screws.

An ottoman made on its own can be put anywhere in the house, it will perfectly complement your interior. You can significantly save if you use your materials.
