Part 2 · Plan your layout

Plan it before anything sticks.

Plan the whole Corner on the floor first. Nothing sticks until you're happy with where it's going.

The 2 × 2 layout

Four felt tiles arranged two across and two down, edges touching: top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right. Each tile is 30 by 30 centimeters. Together they make a 60 by 60 centimeter square. 60 cm overall 30 cm 30 cm 60 cm overall Top left30 × 30 cm Top right30 × 30 cm Bottom left30 × 30 cm Bottom right30 × 30 cm

Two across, two down, edges touching. Each tile is 30 × 30 cm. Together they make a 60 × 60 cm square.

  1. Step 1: Arrange the tiles on the floor

    Lay the four felt tiles in a 2 × 2 square on the floor, in front of the wall where they'll go.

  2. Step 2: Plan the spot on the wall

    Decide where the finished Corner will go on the wall.

  3. Step 3: Check before you peel

    Check the position and that the tiles line up the way you planned. Keep every clear protective film on until you're sure.

  4. Step 4: Then start mounting

    Only begin attaching tiles once you're happy with the placement. Part 3 walks you through it.

Part 3 · Install the felt tiles

Five pads. Every tile.

Each tile is held by five adhesive pads: one near each corner and one in the center. Use all five on every tile. That's 20 of your 24 pads for the four tiles. Set the other four aside.

Pad placement

The back of one felt tile with five adhesive pads: one near each of the four corners and one in the center. Four tiles times five pads equals twenty pads. Back of tile 12 5 34 Center CornerCorner CornerCorner 4 tiles × 5 pads = 20 pads Use all five on every tile.

Pads 1–4 go near each corner. Pad 5 goes in the center. Don't skip the center pad.

How the pads work

Square adhesive pads on a backing sheet, and a close-up of one pad with its clear protective film and small pull tab. On the sheet Close-up Pull tab Clear film on the exposed side. Lift the tab to peel it off.

The pads arrive on three backing sheets of eight. Each one has a clear protective film on its exposed side, with a small pull tab.

  1. Step 1: Peel a pad

    Peel one adhesive pad from the backing sheet.

  2. Step 2: Apply it to the tile

    Apply it to the back of the felt tile, near one corner.

  3. Step 3: Add all five

    Repeat until the tile has five pads: one near each corner and one in the center.

  4. Step 4: Remove the clear film

    Each pad has a clear protective film on its exposed side. Lift the small pull tab and peel the film away. Do this for all five pads.

  5. Step 5: Position and attach

    Line the tile up with the position you planned, then carefully attach it to the wall.

  6. Step 6: Repeat for the other three

    Repeat steps 1 to 5 for each remaining tile until all four are on the wall.

Before you move on

Four tiles on the wall. Five pads on each. Twenty pads used, four set aside.

Part 4 · Make it theirs

Make it theirs.

With the felt on the wall, plan where each finishing piece will go, then attach them. No tools needed.

  • Photo frames

    3 frames

    For three favorite photos.

  • Paw-print keepsake

    1 frame + kit

    Their paw print, taken with the inkless kit and framed.

  • Shadow box

    1 box

    A small keepsake of your choosing.

  • Name plaque

    1 plaque

    Their name, made for the wall.

  1. Step 1: Lay the pieces out

    Place the three photo frames, the paw-print keepsake, the shadow box and the name plaque on the floor in front of your Corner.

  2. Step 2: Try a few arrangements

    Move them around until the layout feels right. Use the examples below as a starting point.

Find your arrangement

There's no single way to make The Corner yours. Start with one of these layouts, then adjust the pieces until everything feels right.

  1. Example layout: the name plaque centered across the top, three photo frames in an even row below it, and the paw-print frame and shadow box side by side underneath. Name

    01 / Balanced

    A considered arrangement with the frames and keepsakes distributed evenly across the four tiles.

  2. Example layout: the name plaque centered across the top, a photo frame in each upper corner, the third photo frame in the center where the four tiles meet, and the shadow box and paw-print frame below. Name

    02 / Centered

    Two photos at the top, a third in the center, and the keepsakes below. Their name brings everything together.

  3. Example layout: the name plaque and paw-print frame in the center, with the photo frames and shadow box placed around them. Name

    03 / Personal

    Give their name and paw print a little more prominence, with the remaining pieces arranged around them.

  • Photo frame ×3
  • Paw-print frame
  • Shadow box
  • Name plaque

Before attaching anything, lay out your pieces and take a photo of the arrangement you like best.

  1. Step 3: Hang the photo frames

    Using your photo as a guide, hang the three photo frames with the provided tacks.

  2. Step 4: Hang the keepsake and shadow box

    Hang the paw-print keepsake with a provided tack. Hang the shadow box the same way.

  3. Step 5: Attach the name plaque

    The Dog Corner: the bone-shaped plaque arrives with two adhesive pads already on the back. Remove the clear films from both pads, position the plaque on the felt, and press it into place.

    The Cat Corner: the fish-shaped plaque arrives with no adhesive. Apply one of the square pads you set aside to the center of the back of the plaque. Remove its clear film, position the plaque on the felt, and press it into place.

How each plaque attaches

Both plaques attach directly to the felt. The bone plaque arrives with its adhesive already attached, so it needs no square pads. The fish plaque uses one of the four square pads you set aside. The rest are spares.

Before you finish

Three photo frames hung with the provided tacks. The paw-print frame and the shadow box, each hung with a provided tack. Your name plaque attached to the felt, the way step 5 describes for your Corner.
