I am a Chiropractor and I decided to build a kids table because I didn't want to pay upwards of $500 for a table.  I had a few ideas on how to make the headpiece and decided to go this route because construction-wise it was the easiest way to build.  I didn't anticipate the wrapping of the top to be as difficult as it has proven to be.  I was just hoping this thread could share some idea or insight

I guess the only reason I made the wood slot smaller was thinking it would use less material to reach it when I attached it to the wood.  But really thinking about it, it probably uses more.

I figured I could sew additional material to help cover wrap it, but of course I don't have a sewing machine.  So i was hoping to avoid that route if possible.

So I will match the wood cutout to the foam cutout, which makes sense.  To sew the vinyl I would have to do it by hand.  Or just take it to an upholstery place and have them do it! haha

So i am extremely new to upholstering, but have decided to build a kids Chiropractic table.  I made a .5 x 7" opening in the plywood base and a 2 x 7" opening in the foam.  My original plan was to cut the vinyl and wrap it through to the underside of the wood.  However, I am unsure how to properly cut the vinyl to wrap it properly.  I am following the golden rule, "measure twice, cut once."  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
