How to Enclose a Bunk Bed

Transform a bunk bed into a play area by enclosing it.

Bunk beds are not only a space-saving way to set up beds for your children, but they can also make a great play area to let your children's imaginations run wild. By enclosing a bunk bed, you can turn it into a tent, a fort, a boat, a spaceship and much more. Once enclosed, the children can decorate the inside of the bunk bed to transform the space into anything their hearts desire.

Things You'll Need

• Blankets

Instructions

1. Gather up spare blankets and sheets that are lying around the house. Two or three blankets should usually be enough.

2. Lift up the top mattress of the bunk bed.

3. Hang blankets or sheets down from the top bunk bed so that they surround the perimeter of the bed. It shouldn't be necessary to hang blankets over the sides of the bed that are against the wall since these areas will already be enclosed.

4. Place the top mattress back down so that it holds these hanging blankets in place.
