A direct conversion from a queen bed to a full bed isn't feasible due to the size difference. However, you can repurpose or downsize a queen bedframe by modifying it through craftsmanship. An alternative is to purchase a full-size bedframe and mattress. Repurposing existing materials from the queen bed can save costs, but requires technical skills and tools.
