In each of us there lives an inner child,hungry for fun and mischief. Pamper your little self by adding the real swing to the bedroom interior. We will tell you how to do it. As a bedside table you can use a variety of things: a nightstand, a chair, a coffee table. But we suggest that you approach this issue creatively. Suspended swings, consisting of a wide flat board and ropes, will not only perform the role of a night table, but also help create an atmosphere of lightness and serenity in the room.
You will need:
- rectangular board of solid wood (size 60x25x2 cm);
- rope (length 6 m, diameter not less than 2 cm);
- hooks for ceiling;
- drill;
- dowels;
- measuring tape;
- grinding machine or sandpaper.
In each of the 4 corners of the board, mark the place for drilling. Place the points about 5 cm from each corner. Then drill holes. Their diameter should correspond to the thickness of the rope. Use a grinder orsandpaper to get rid of bumps and burrs on the board surface. If desired, after this procedure, you can paint your future night table in any color. Cut the rope into 4 pieces 2 m long, 2 m long,1 m and 1 m respectively. From meter segments, it is necessary to make improvised handles that will keep the board in a state of balance. To do this, thread the end of the rope through one of the corner holes and tie a knot under the surface of the board. Pass the other end of the rope into the nearest opposite hole and also tie a knot. Now follow the same steps, but on the other side of the board. Note that you should only tighten the knots and cut the ends of the rope after making sure the handles are the same length. Hook the hooks into the ceiling with the help of powerful dowels (diameter not less than 8 mm). Do not be lazy to make accurate measurements, so that the suspended structure is not skewed. Fold over the ends of the 2-meter lengths of ropethrough the hooks and tie strong fixing knots. Then tie the loose ends to the rope handles you made earlier. When working with knots, take your time. Remember, a knot that is loosely tied allows you to adjust its position, making it easier to align the suspension structure. If you did everything right, you should get here such a charming piece of furniture, embodying a creative approach, vintage charm and obvious functionality. homestory.rp-online.de
