Bed slats |
- Rugs x 2
- Bed slats x 8

- Screws
- Length of dowel or thin rod
- Attach a hinge to two lengths of wood so that the hinge can not bend beyond 90 degrees. This will leave a notch for the top rod to sit in.
- Attach two bottom lengths of wood so the supports will stand upright, and these will be used to hold the sides of the rug down.
- Do this again so you have two of these.
