I Built My Daughter A Dream Bunk Bed

What happens here

To create a 'starry sky' effect, draw various star shapes and a crescent moon onto a thin MDF panel. Use a compact router with a small bit to carve out these shapes. Once cut, gently burn off any stray fibers around the edges of the stars with a small torch lighter for a crisp finish. Install LED fairy lights behind this panel, allowing the light to shine through the carved-out shapes.

Goal: Design and implement a starry, illuminated ceiling for the top bunk.

is a thing of beauty I do have a surprise for Harper we're going to make it magical I got a couple of 2 by tws here and then we're going to stable Quin bbard this is where the fun part starts well it's actually the annoying part for me I'm going to start drawing out a bunch of random shaped stars all over the place here maybe even a crescent moon and then behind it I'm going to have a bunch of LEDs so this will be like a a night Starry Sky for the kiddos all right well here goes nothing they don't look like stars they kind of look like a little Dand lines but there's a little discovery that I learned when I flip it over we actually have a better rendition of a star I'm going to disconnect the nails from this flip it over and then maybe use a sharp utility knife and try to clean them up as much as I can they don't have to be perfect cuz Stars aren't perfect when you look at them anyways but this will actually resemble the star the best ladies and gentlemen check this out this came out way better than I thought it would and the little trick was i' used a little knife to clean them up but what really helped is like when you see a little bit of hair sticking out like that I Ed my little torch lighter and lightly burn them off so you can see a little bit of tarring there and that made him crisp so now that this is done and the LED lights are in what we need to do now is start cocking sanding
