We cut the legs 4 inches, and rubber end caps so it wouldnt slide (hardware isle). We used pvc glue when assembling it to ensure it never came apart. Next, we spray painted the frame black (but you could use whatever color). I bought 3/4 yard of fleece per bed. although it was a bit too long, but we used the little extra piece for a pillow. I cut the "strips" 3 1/4 inches long and tied a piece (top and bottom) to the frame. I tied 3 sides and then inserted some matting in between the two pieces of fleece to make it more cushiony, although you dont have to,then tied up the forth side. Hope this make sense!! Im a visual person, so its hard to put my "visions" into writing!! lol
Thanks so much for your explanation! I will try to make one myself. If you don't mind, I might have to PM you with questions along the way. I will have to add this as my summer or spring break project It just looks so nice!! If possible, would you be able to take a picture without the blankets? (If it's not too much trouble!) I'm a visual learner too!
