batting
scissors
3 wood frame 6 x 14

1. First wrap the batting tightly around the wood frame. Starting in the center, staple the batting all the way around the frame. Neatly fold the corners and staple into place. Cut off any excess batting. Repeat with the other two frames.

2. Now repeat the same process with the fabric. Make sure to match up the prints on each frame so they are the same.

3. To add a more decorative touch, add nail head trim around the edges of the frame. Use a hammer to apply the trim.

4. Last, attach hinges to the frames with a screwdriver, make sure to line them up properly. Then attach the frames together at the hinges using a screwdriver.
