How long is the piece you put between the two-way and four-way elbows in the corners? Do you have to bend it a little? Do the two-way elbows need to be at a certain angle? I know you said 45 degrees; however, the elbows seem to be manufactured at more like 90. Bend? Thanks for your help. Ruth I attempted this for my three little ones, and I’m missing something.

]]> Comment on shhh, don’t tell… by Sandy http://wintertreedesign.com/2008/12/19/shhh-dont-tell/comment-page-1/#comment-15338 Sandy Sat, 23 Jul 2011 21:38:14 +0000 http://wintertreedesign.com/blog/?p=418#comment-15338 These are just lovely. I love the shape. I have also made a bean bag but more of a globe shape. I think I would choose your design in the future. Here's a thought: With my bean bag, I didn't actually put beans in it. Instead, I left an opening and filled it with the ten million stuffed animals in our house. It's very comfy and VERY useful. I made it out of a stretchy pink fabric that is sort of fluffy like curly animal fur (surely there is a real name for this fabric). In the future, I will use your design and put a zipper on the seam. Thank you for the inspiration. Hopefully the stuffed animal stuffing will save you from the bean bag hunt in the future! These are just lovely. I love the shape.

My name is Karan. I did a google search for altered coutoure blogs and found you here. I LOVE what you do! I volunteer and teach art to kids in juvenile hall and group homes. I am looking to expand to hospitals as well. I use all recycled materials that I dumpster dive, or get donated to me. I am always looking for more people out there with great reuse ideas. I am working on starting a reuse center her in the Los Angeles area where I can employ at risk youth and other poeople who need soft skills training. We have very similar visions... I would love to chat more with you. Come check out my blog and see what I do... So glad I found you. Keep up the great work! Hello there! My name is Karan.

This would solve that and be funky at the same time. Thanks for the cute idea!
