At the equipment of sports corner for the child the mat is simply necessary as it reduces risk of getting injured. You can make mat for house children's sports corner.
It is required to you
- - sheets of thick foam rubber;
- - material for cover.
Instruction
1. Find rectangles of the necessary size from foam rubber. Children's mats happen, as a rule, the following sizes: 1×1×0.05 meters, 1×1×0.08 meters 1×1×0.1 meters. These are the recommended sizes. You can correct them as you need it.
2. Buy material for cover. Earlier covers sewed from tarpaulin or leatherette. These materials are not convenient as they are quickly torn, soiled. The modern industry releases different synthetic materials. They are very practical, elegant, durable: kaprovinit it, special imitation leather on kapron basis. The main requirements to cover - that material of which it is made easily was cleaned, exposed to sanitation and did not cause allergies in the child. Time you do mat for children's sports corner, buy bright material, perhaps, even with the drawing.
3. Make pattern. Measure the sheet of your foam rubber. Let's say it is rectangle of 100х100 cm. From material you will find 2 rectangles of 104х104 cm in size. It is necessary to find rectangle for cover more, taking into account joint margin.
4. Measure all 4 sides of your mat and put them. You will find long strip, having made allowance for seams on 2 cm from above and from below. At first sew this strip to one rectangle, then to another, but sew only from three parties. Do not sew up the fourth party at one of rectangles as it is necessary to insert lightning that in the future the cover could be removed and cleaned into it.
5. That the mat was more convenient to be transferred, from sides make handles. Think what length and width they are necessary for you. Let's say the handle 25 cm long 6 cm wide is necessary for you. You will find rectangle of 25х12 cm. On width put rectangle in half and stitch (it is possible to stitch from four parties). Also make the second handle. Then sew handles to the side (opposite) parties. That it was more interesting to child to be engaged, the mat can be decorated with applique.
