Changing station part 1 *upholstered changing pad*

We live in a lovely 1943 home. I adore it. Wood floors,

built in book shelves, pretty moldings.....small bedrooms..

..."scary wiring"(added by dear husband). Right now our

changing table is in the closet. Not very conducive for changing

bums. So I decided to use the dresser as a changing station.

The changing station isn't complete but I wanted to share my

upholstered changing pad with you.

What you'll need:

* plywood cut to desired size

* adorable fabric

* 1" thick foam

* 10 gauge clear vinyl

* staple gun

* chocolate....don't question me on this

Measure your dresser and decide how long and wide you

need your changing pad to be. Cut your foam so that it

overlaps 2" on all sides. Cut your fabric and vinyl so that

it is 2-1/2-3" longer on all sides.

Eat some chocolate and staple your foam in place on all sides of

the board.

Now, grab your fabric and do the same. Sort of stretch it as you

go but if you use quilting fabric don't stretch too much. Just

enough to smooth the creases. Eat another bite of your treat.

I wanted my corners to look rounded so I just grabbed the

fabric near the corners and bunched it then I stapled the

gather in place....like so.

After you've stapled your fabric do the same with your vinyl.

Then have some more chocolaty goodness.

And admire your handiwork.

Then eat the last of your chocolate and place this puppy on

the dresser to await a glorious upcoming event.
