This unique and elegant design will not only provide a cozy resting place for the baby but also add a touch of charm and tradition to the event. In this article, we will walk you through the materials and steps required to create this stunning lotus-shaped bed.
Materials Used
- Form Sheet: Used for creating the lotus petal shapes. Purchased from a sofa bed maker, this provides the soft and comfortable base for the bed. Size 10mm
- Plastic Basket: Serves as the sturdy foundation.
- Cardboard: To make a hard base for the bed
- Iron Wire: Provides structure and support for cardboard base.
- Fevibond: A strong adhesive to hold everything together. Fevibond will be best for sticking form sheet.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Preparing the Base
- Select a Plastic Basket: Choose a basket that is appropriately sized for a newborn. It should be sturdy enough to hold the baby comfortably.
- Line the Basket with Cardboard: Cut the cardboard to fit the inside of the basket. Ensure it is thick enough and also stick a sheet of foam above the cardboard
Step 2: Creating the Lotus Petals
- Cutting the Cardboard: Draw and cut out petal shapes from the cardboard. You will need enough petals to surround the basket and create a full lotus effect.
Step 3: Assembling the Lotus Bed
- Attaching the Petals to the Basket: Arrange the petals around the basket. Use Fevibond to attach the base of each petal to the sides of the basket. Ensure they are evenly spaced to create a symmetrical lotus shape.
- Final Adjustments: Once all the petals are attached, adjust them to achieve the desired look.
Step 4: Adding Finishing Touches
- Cover : Cover the center cardboard with a nice vibrant cloth
- Comfort and Safety: Place a soft, breathable blanket or cloth inside the basket for additional comfort. Make sure the baby is always supervised while in the lotus bed.
