To begin your stuffed animal corner cage, start by cutting your boards as follows: Cut your 1x4x12 into (3) 42 ½-inch pieces. Cut your 2x4x6s into (6) 30-inch pieces with 45 degree angles on both ends of each piece of wood.
Take two of your 2×4 pieces and place them together at one end, angle against angle. Put two screws in one side at the tip (see photo) so that your two pieces make a triangle without a bottom. Do this two more times using the rest of the 2x4s.
Sandwich your 1×3 against the tip of the 2×4 on the ground with the end of one of the 1×4 pieces. Going through the 1×4, screw in two screws. Do this two more times with each of the 2x4s resting on the ground. Flip the contraption and repeat on the other side.
Stand the stuffed animal corner cage upright. On each one of the 1x4s, start at the edge and measure over 6 inches, five separate times, and mark it. These will be the holes for the elastic cord to run from the top of the stuffed animal corner cage to the bottom of it
Using gloves if preferred, dip the tip of the folded shop towel into the stain and rub it back and forth over every inch of wood, following the grain. This will help you save stain and not waste it as well as allow it to dry quicker and more evenly.
