I guess spray glue would&#8217;ve been best, though.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>A blunt bread knife doesn&#8217;t work very well for cutting this sort of foam. However, fabric scissors worked really well and I got nice straight cuts.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>I cut the foam slightly oversized and pressed it into the frame, and didn&#8217;t glue it against the backboard. While this worked, I think it would&#8217;ve been better to cut it to size and glue it so it can&#8217;t bulge or come loose later.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Now I&#8217;ve got the thing behind my bed, I think it would&#8217;ve looked better if it were some 30cm wider, so it continued all the way to the wall. Maybe I will make a small separate piece to fill that gap. I have plenty of felt left. Or maybe I&#8217;ll make something out of wood, like a tall corner shelf\/night stand.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":782,\"width\":\"479px\",\"height\":\"auto\",\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240309_172539.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-782\" style=\"width:479px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240309_172539.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240309_172539-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240309_172539-768x474.jpg 768w, https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240309_172539-210x130.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":783,\"width\":\"523px\",\"height\":\"auto\",\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240309_201606.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-783\" style=\"width:523px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240309_201606.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240309_201606-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240309_201606-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240309_201606-210x136.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/invar.nl\/?p=775\">Headboard, continued<\/a><time datetime=\"2024-03-08T19:37:17+01:00\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-date\">8 March 2024<\/time><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-full-content\"><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Found my old felt and cut up some leftover bits of wood to make the headboard.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":776,\"width\":\"485px\",\"height\":\"auto\",\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240308_192812.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-776\" style=\"width:485px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240308_192812.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240308_192812-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240308_192812-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240308_192812-210x168.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Next up:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Finish screwing the wood together<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Finding out which glue to use<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Borrowing\/buying a tacker\/stapler<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Glueing the foam together and to the board<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Wrapping with felt<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Cutting the feet to the right height<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Installing by clamping between bed &amp;
