Materials:

• 1 yd. ea. 3 Coordinating decor fabrics (Liz Claiborne Home Fabrics shown)
• 1 pc. 1/2" plywood, 15"x17"
• 1 pc. 3" thick High density foam, 15"x17"
• 1 pc. 5" thick High density foam, 15"x17"
• 2 pc. 4" thick High density foam, 15"x17"
• Fabri-Tac™ permanent adhesive
• 4 Wooden ball knobs for feet
• Acrylic paint in color to coordinate with fabric
• 2 Decorative buttons, 1"
• Straight pins
• Drill
• Small paintbrush
• Staple gun

Directions:

1.  Drill holes in plywood 2¼" from each corner. Attach wood balls and apply two coats of acrylic paint. Set aside to dry.

2.  Glue 4" foam pieces together to make an 8"-thick foam rectangle.

3.  Place top pillow fabric right side down on work surface. Lay 3" foam piece in center of fabric, wrapping fabric around the foam and making hospital corners. Cut excess fabric, leaving enough to slightly overlap on the back; glue in place. Be sure top and sides are smooth and neat. Use straight pins to hold in place while glue dries. Repeat with the 5" foam and the middle layer fabric.

4.  Place remaining fabric right side down on work surface. Place 8" foam piece on top of fabric, then plywood piece, feet up, on top of foam. NOTE: Place foam on fabric so the excess cut off is large enough to make the strap. (See Step 6.)

5.  Wrap fabric around to plywood making hospital corners as before; cut excess fabric so fabric only extends about an inch all around on bottom side (foot side) of plywood. Staple fabric in place.

6.  With the excess fabric from step 5, cut two pieces 61¼2"x36". Turn 1" under on both long sides of the fabric pieces and glue in place. Overlap finished ends and glue together. Glue buttons on the overlapped section.

7.  Place finished strap on work surface button-side down. Stack 3" covered foam lengthwise on the strap finished-side down. Repeat with the 5" piece, then the 8" piece. Pull strap ends to the back of plywood and staple in place. Cut off excess length.
