Good morning! If the shelf is 36 x 36, you want to cut the foam board just a smidge smaller than than. So 35 7/8 x 35 7/8.

I’m guess that’s the whole back with the shelves removed, right? One you cut the foam board, make sure it fits with the shelves back in before moving to to fabric. Depending on the piece of furniture, you may have do individual pieces to go between each shelf versus the whole back at once. Hopefully there’s enough clearance that you can just do the one big piece though!

Thanks for the quick reply! Fabric I got! My shelf that I am doing is approx 36” by 36”. So, when I cut the foam board, what do you recommend? I’m a little confused about the subtracting 1/8” direction. Thanks so much!! 🙂

Hi Erin,

The 1/8″ is just a total of 1/8″ shorter to make sure the board will fit in with the fabric one it. For the fabric, you’ll want to add 1.5 inches all the way around, so your total piece of fabric will be 3 inches wider and 3 inches longer than your board. Does that help?
