Step 2 of 9

First you need to measure the top of the crate.

Step 3 of 9

Next you need to cut the pegboard the same size as the top of the crate.

Step 4 of 9

Center the pegboard that you just cut onto the fabric and allow 4 inches on each side.

Step 5 of 9

Next cut the foam the same size as the pegboard.

Step 6 of 9

Now you will want to attach the foam to the pegboard by cutting small pieces of duct tape and attach to each side so that the foam does not slip and slide.

Step 7 of 9

Next place that pegboard with the foam onto the center of the fabric.

Step 8 of 9
Bring the material to the back of the pegboard and secure with duck tape.

I don't know where you live, but I got mine at Walmart. They have them at pretty much any store that sells school supplies. They came in several different colors at the Walmart I went to.
