Step by step
Measure your changing pad and adjust the plans as needed to fit your table and changing pad.
I started by attaching the two ends to the front and back. I used my Kreg Jig and hid pocket holes on the insides.
Step 2
Once I got the basic box done, I added the divider to fit my changing pad. It worked out perfect for wipes.
Step 3
You'll need to secure the topper to the cabinet somehow. I used a few pocket holes along the back but you could also use an L bracket - but you will need something to keep it from sliding off.
Finishing
Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
