SCRAP / Home Depot and built my own.
Parts Used:
- Unused Sweater Front - $2.00
- Oak Moulding - $3.00
- 1/16" Galvanized Flashing - $0.50
- Used Memory Foam - $0.50
- Unused Couch Cloth Sample - $0.25

- Liquid Nails - $3.39
- 6mm Staples - $2.39

Awesome kids sweater front
Oak frame cut & glued together
Oak frame shaped to fit console, A notch was cut out to fit around the hinge, Galvanized flashing was cut out, and the metal was notched, folded and angled to attach to the existing hinge.
I forgot to take a picture of the foam I shaped, but the next step was stapling on the couch fabric and stapling down the sweater fabric, then cutting to fit and applying seam sealer to the fabric edges. The last step was gluing on the latch from the old lid.
This is the finished product!
