This idea was genius. Glad I peeped it!

Sorry the picture is real wack.... iPhone

Yeah great...I want to build some of these too in the next weeks How is your Trap looking inside? Did you do it exactly like the thread-starter sergioplanet? Or did you leave the back open?

Perhaps you should use the same fabric in the middle of your trap...the black fabric with the tree-bird-motive looks very nice...but the white one between these 2 fabrics doesn't fit.

Nevertheless: Nice work!!!

Really, really nicely done. I absolutely love those...wish there was an Ikea closer than four hours' drive.

To anyone here that has made this...3 quick questions.

1. How do you attach that picture frame looking part to the bookshelf?

2. What specific insulation do you use, and where can one find it on the cheap in Los Angeles?

3. Do you leave airspace between the insulation and the fabric?


Thanks!

This is awesome. You could get the highest, cheapest shelf you can get, build it without the rear wall, staple the rear fabric from the inside, fill it with rockwool, cover the frint and sides with fabric and staple it to the shelf on the back. Much quicker and easier to build than a DIY frame and about the same cost, really.

Now how about using an Expedit shelf for the cloud? ;-D
