Lightly sand the edges of the cut dowels.
Once they’re glued, clamp them together.
Repeat with the remaining lengths to build the bottom frame.
Glue them together, clamp, and let them dry.
Spray paint the wood frame your desired shade.
You’ll need to cut out notches so the plexiglass sits inside the frame.
To cut plexiglass, use an extra dowel as a template for the notch size.
Tape off the square to ensure the plexiglass doesn’t chip when you cut it.
Score the lines of the notch with a glass cutter, then carefully break it off.
Once it’s cut, spray paint one side of the glass with frosted paint and let it dry.
Then staple the fabric to the back of the frame.
Edge the corners with bias tape and glue together with fast-drying fabric glue.
Start with the risers, then finish with the top and bottom.
