These
instructions are for a king sized bed. If you are
making a single, only follow the instructions for one
row of the bed, and if you are making a queen sized
leave the middle row out. Feel free to adapt/experiment
with these instructions as you see fit...
1. Stack 6
wooden benches in the first tile of your headboard
area (generally against a wall), locking them all
down.
2. In the tile
next to that, stack 2 wooden benches and lock them
down.
3. Stack three
individual fish steaks on top of that (one at a time).
4. Stack one
bench on top of the steaks and lock it down.
5. In the tile
next to that, stack 6 wooden benches, locking them
down as you go.
6. Stack
whatever decorations you like on top of the headboard
and lock them down. You can use stacked fishsteaks (not
locked down) or an interior decorating tool to give
them the right height.
7. Stack four
fish steaks in the first tile in front of the
headboard.
8. On top of
that, stack 2 pieces of each color of cut cloth (4
pieces total) and lock them down.
9. Do this in
the next two tiles as well, so that you have a row of
fabric.
10. Stack a
long narrow pillow (dyed a complimentary color) in
each of the two outside tiles and lock them down.
11. Stack one
of the three square pillows (also dyed a
complimentary color) on top of the middle pile of
fabric and lock it down.
12. If you're
using the very small square pillows, you may want to
stack them on top of the narrow pillows in the
outside tiles. If you're using the larger square
pillows, you may want to wait and stack them in the
outside tiles of the next row of fabric.
13. If you so
desire, now would be a good time to lock down a
couple of decorative items on top of the center
square pillow (I used a rose and a book).
14. Stack
another row of 4 fishsteaks in each tile.
15. Stack two
pieces of each color on top of each pile of
fishsteaks and lock them down (to make another row of
fabric).
16. If you
decided to do so, stack the other two square pillows
in the outside tiles of this row and lock them down.
17. Stack four
fish steaks in each of the next three tiles.
18. Stack two
pieces of each color on top of the fish steaks and
lock them down.
Congratulations,
you're done! A lot of personal preference is involved
in making the right bed, so you may want to
experiment... some things that you can do differently
are to use benches or stools under the fabric instead
of fish steaks, or to use different decorations on
the head board or pillows... just have fun!
