Étape 1 - Fitting bubble wrap in the tarpaulin

Stretching the tarpaulin over a table

Place several layers of bubble wrap* to form a compact rectangle.

Bubble wrap can be replaced by different materials such as blankets, but bubble wrap is water-resistant and very light.

Étape 2 - Fold the tarpaulin in on itself

Cover the bubble wrap with the other part of the tarpaulin so that the bubble wrap is no longer visible.

Étape 3 - Fold the sides of the tarpaulin

Fold the sides of the tarpaulin to make the welds

Étape 4 - Making the welds

- Place the fold of the tarpaulin in the folded can and place the piece of wood to hold it together.

- Heat the whole can with the blowtorch for 30 seconds

The can must be folded like a sheet of paper

Be careful not to heat the tarpaulin directly with the torch.

- Apply pressure with the piece of wood on the can to complete the weld for about 30 seconds.

- Carefully peel off the can

- Réaliser cette étape et la précédente autant que nécessaire sur l'ensemble des contours du matelas

Étape 5 - Bonus

Vous avez votre matelas !!!

Vous pouvez le rouler sur lui-même et le maintenir avec une corde
