Today, more and more moms decide to buy a special table for swaddling crumbs. In fact, it is only needed for up to a year, and not everyone can afford such a purchase. And to make a changing table by own hands is not too difficult. We offer a simple step-by-step master-class on the manufacture of this device.

Changing table with own hands

If a whole cabinet is difficult to build, then you can make a small table in a couple of days. In this case, the dimensions of the changing table are determined by the size of the installation site.

For work we will need:

• boards and sheets of MDF;
• a grinding skins;
• jigsaw and saw;
• screws;
• putty on wood;
• paint.

Now let's look at the instruction how to make a changing table yourself.

1. The appearance of the standard swaddling seat is as follows.
2. As you can see from the sketch, the first stage of making the changing table will be the removal of the chest size, on which you will install it. Then you should choose the dimensions of the swaddling table. As a rule, in finished models, these sidewalls have a height of the order of 15-25 cm. The rear wall can be a continuation of the sides, and maybe completely absent.
3. In the shop of sawn timber we choose the boards and MDF sheet suitable for the size.
4. Rounded edges for the rims are made with the help of any round container. We circle with a simple pencil.
5. Using a jigsaw or saw cut off the edges and thoroughly grind the ends.
6. Next, we collect the table in one piece. All fasten the screws. And then we work the joints with putty.
7. Before applying the paint, thoroughly grind the surface. We will apply the paint in two or three layers and between them also work the table with sandpaper to smoothness.
8. Work with paint better in the room, so that the surface does not settle dust.
9. After the last layer of paint is completely dry, you can proceed to the final stage of manufacturing the swaddling table-chest by your own hands.
10. To ensure that the table is securely in place, attach rubber feet to the bottom. Then the design will not move and make noise.
11. In the end, you only have to sew a mattress on a changing table. You can buy and ready, but then in advance measure, whether it will fit on the prepared chest or table.
12. The changing table is ready!
