Follow these steps

Draw out a template on paper based on the size of the child you would like to make the rocker for – base the size on an existing bicycle
Trace around the template onto some plywood
Cut out the two sides that were based on your template
Mark off where each foot plate goes – where the childs feet will rest
Mark out where stoppers go – this is to prevent the rocker from tipping forward or backwards too much.
Router all edges
Drill out holes for handle bars on the top
Assemble sides, stoppers, and foot plate
Attach handle (curtain rod) by sliding it through the holes and use screws to attach
Sand and varnish
Decorate if need be
Do the seat strapping with webbing by doing the vertical strips first and then the horizontal strips
Safety Pin hanger
1. Cut out shape for safety pin head
2. Drill holes for pipe
3. Router edges
4. Sand and varnish/paint
5. Bend and attach pipe
