How to determine the size

Dolls, their houses and furnishings are reduced copies of us and our dwellings. And the most reliable way to make doll furniture with your own hands and not mistaken - measure the real items, reduce them several times, and then work with the obtained values.

Furniture for dolls - copies of our furniture

How much to reduce real sizes depends on how small or a great doll is, because they are from 7 cm to 60 cm or even higher. Accordingly, the furniture for them needs different sizes. To determine the number to which real dimensions should be divided, the average human growth in centimeters (170 cm) is divided to the height of the doll. We get some kind of number. Here on it and it will be necessary to divide the size of real furniture.

For example, the height of the doll is 15 cm. Calculate: 170 cm / 15 cm \u003d 11.3. That is the number and divide all the parameters of "human" furniture. It is still worth saying that it is 14-15 cm that is the most popular size among the doll population. Therefore, most of the finished furniture is made in a ratio of 1:12. It is possible for us to use existing dimensions at least in order to be oriented with the scale of the required parts and the number of materials.

So, the most common sizes of dolls:

  • doll-man 150 mm;
  • doll-Woman - 140 mm;
  • doll-child - 75-100 mm;
  • toy baby - 65-75 mm.

If you need furniture for dolls of such sizes, its parameters will be such:


If you have more toys more / less, you can not adjust the dimensions. With a great difference, you will have to increase or decrease (and you can count on your own).

Doll Furniture made of match boxes

The easiest way to do furniture for dolls do it yourself from ordinary match boxes. They are glued with the help of PVA glue, creating certain structures, then glued with paper or cloth, self-adhesive film, etc. You can use wooden beads as legs, drawers for drawers from small butt on legs or from long beads.

From match boxes you can make chairs, table, chest of drawers, bed, bedside table. Another thing is that the furniture is obtained for very small dolls, no more than 10 cm high. Although, you can use a larger number of boxes, gluing them into blocks, and from these blocks to create furniture for dolls with a height of about 15 cm. Also, but to work with others Materials are not much more complicated, and they are more plastic and allow you to create products of more elegant forms.

It may be your first experience in making puppet furniture. Later it will be possible to take on something more serious.

Furniture for a doll house of cardboard

Cardboard usually connect with the help of PVA glue, you can use a glue gun or any universal glue that can glue cardboard, fabric, wood. Just making furniture for dolls with your hands from cardboard, you will also use these materials. If we talk about convenience, it is preferable to the adhesive gun - glitter quickly, it is convenient to work comfortably, the connection is reliable.

To make furniture for dolls, you can use the usual packing cardboard. He is cheap, but the furniture from it turns out very tender. It is unlikely that the child is enough for a long time. But, as "first experience", this a good option. More reliable obtained products from cardboard for scrapbooking. It is a tight, uniform, has a different thickness (from 2 mm and more), may be with a textured surface, extruded by one-photon patterns, a pattern with one or both of both sides. The lack of such cardboard is to buy it, and some types of such cardboard are not too cheap.

Cardboard Bed for Dolls

This bed for dolls from cardboard is designed for a large doll - up to 50 cm of height. If necessary, all specified dimensions can be reduced.

This option can be made literally for 10-20 minutes. It does not need glue or other clamps. Details are kept due to grooves cut in cardboard. The width of the groove is equal to the thickness of the cardboard, the length of the slots and the size of the blanks are listed on the diagram.

Green and yellow dots indicate the combined cuts. They are inserted alone in another, on what the assembly ends. If you like this model, it can be done from plywood.

Schemes for the manufacture of cardboard doll furniture

Basically, furniture for dolls from cardboard is glued. To make something openwork from this material or very complicated is unlikely to succeed, but the manufacture of simple models does not take much time. Having a diagram with dimensions, you can even do without explanation. Everything is so clear.

Such models can be done on the eye. Without a "upholstery" they look unsightly, but after quite a decent bedside table with doors and open shelf - scheme one, different execution

Furniture schemes for dolls can be used not only for making cardboard. They can be transferred to the paneur and cut with a jigsaw.

Cabinet for dolls from girlfriend

The toy cabinet can be made of plywood, paint or envelop wrapping paper or self-adhesive film. There, probably, the questions will not arise - everything is clear, and if there are questions, you can look at their solution in the "natural" closet. But you can make it from all inexpensive materials. Furniture for dolls with your own hands and good that the cost of it is very small.

From a cardboard box

The main task is to find a box of dense cardboard suitable size. Moreover, it will be easier to work if it is packaging - with rejuvenable edges. Such a bending part is the finished door. It will only be necessary to finish it - hang the mirror, attach the handle, etc.

One of the options for homemade furniture la dolls - wardrobe

What is needed for work

It will take good tape for work, better - on a paper basis, as it is then easier to glue the finish. If there is a glue gun or construction (a large stationery fit) stapler with brackets is also not bad. If, in addition to cardboard and paper, you will also use other materials, the glue is better to find the universal, which glue paper, cardboard, fabric, plastic. We still need scissors and a stationery knife, a ruler.

If the box found is too big, it can be reduced, cutting off unnecessary. So that the bends were smooth, take a ruler. We apply to the place of the future fold, several times we go along the lineup of a stupid solid object (with a snap or fork). After that, the cardboard bend will be easy.

Filling for a toy cabinet

From trimming or from another box, cut the shelves. They should be a little - by 5-8 mm - longer and wider inner cabinet space. Surplus bend so that sides are formed from all sides. In the corners, folds are formed, they are gently cut off. One of the parts bending 180 ° and glue to the shelf itself. This side of the shelf will "look into the world." Three other parts bend at an angle of 90 °, we wash the glue and the shelves insert into the closet. In the photo on the right you can see how the shelves are glued. But that the places of attachments do not get into the eyes, the sides are better to wrap down.

Make furniture for dolls with your own hands - it's no less pleasure than playing with her

In addition to the shelves, you can still make a crossbar for hangers. It can be made from bamboo speakers, for example, you can try to use a tube for juices, a wire, etc. Hangers can also be twisted from color wire or cut from bags from juice, from plastic bottles etc.

Finish - creative process

Next, it's a finish. You can paint the cardboard with watercolor or acrylic (better) paints, shove the wrapping paper, cloth, felt. You can simulate a mirror surface - to attach foil (food, for example). If you want to make a "plastic" surface, look for bottles from under the water of the desired color, cut off the neck and bottom, and the "body" use as a finishing material.

Finishing - the process is creative, but, first, use the materials simpler, softer, feel easier to work with them

Handles can be made of wire, from beads, long beads. For toy larger cabinets, you can find buttons or buttons. All this "beauty" adhesive after "washing" the cabinet.

Warding Doll Cabinet Newspapers

We need old newspapers, PVA glue with a tassel, a glue gun, a couple of wires or threads, wrapping paper for trim and paint.

From the newspapers twist the dense tubes, we wash them along the edge of the PVA and leave up to dry. Then the tubes can be glued together. For this operation better suitable Adhesive pistol. There are two ways: first collect large blocks, then chop them into fragments of the desired length or immediately cut the tubes of the desired length and glue immediately blanks in size. The second path is more painting, but the waste is less.

The finished walls of the cabinet should be copped with each other. To rigidly fix the angle of 90 ° better to use a thin wire. First, wash the joints with glue, then put the walls one to another. If the wires interfere, they can be removed after drying the glue.

For the same technology, the bottom, the top, shelves are glued. Doors will need to do a little differently. So that they open up, two strips of about 1.5 cm wide from the scotch. On the edge of the door, the tape is sampled so that a little more than half hung in the air. With this free tape, we glue the door to the wall, but so that between the wall and the door there was a clearance of 2-3 mm (just tape). This will give the opportunity to close the doors. The glued door is fixed on the other side of the second scotch band.

The second way to fasten the doors - on wire. Only this time it should be tough and thick enough. Cut a piece that is 2 cm longer than the height of the cabinet. Immediately on the wire on the one hand, we make a loop using 1 cm. The loop is bending at an angle of 90 ° to the wire. Make a hole in the bottom and roof, we skip the wire through the bottom, the loop remains downstairs. We wear the door on the wire using the extreme tube instead of hinges. Slightly flexing the wire, we produce it into the hole in the roof of the cabinet, bending the surplus, fixing the door. We repeat the same operation with another door. Please note the door to the tape is needed to finish the cabinet, and on the wire - it is possible after.

There are some little things that need to say a few words. The legs and handles for the cabinet can also be made of paper tubes. Just twisted them from the paper that you finish the toy. Cutting it into a dense roller, the edge is glued with glue, then cut on the segments of the desired length and stick to the right places. Instead of the tubes there may be wooden sticks, beads, etc.

Puppet Bookcase or Lines Shelf

You can make furniture for dolls with your own hands from school wooden lines. They are good for those already processed, have the same width and thickness. In the stationery store you can find the desired size - more / less, wider / already - at will. For example, for the manufacture of a puppet bookcase, you need 6 lines of 15 cm long.

Still, you will need a jigsaw. If there is an electric - excellent, if not, is suitable and manual, as it is not too much work. We also need emery paper with small grain, glue (PVA or carpentry) and paint (acrylic or gouache).

From the line, cut segments: 4 pieces of 6 cm, one - 8 cm. The edges sand up to an even state, remove the markup and bar codes. Between the two line, we have the shelves (which are 6 cm), we leave the same distance from above the same distance - under the cover (segment of 8 cm). The joints are missing the PVA liner or carpentry, we connect and tighten with a painting tape, we leave for a day. When the glue is dry, we glue the latest item - the lid on top. Actually, the shelf itself is ready, it remains to paint it.

To obtain a smooth and bright color, the design is better covered with white, after drying it is already painted with the desired tint. Also made with your own hands, doll furniture can be decorated in.

Garden bench or sofa - depending on the finish

What is good for this material, you probably have already understood - it has rounded treated edges, the same in size and well-processed. If the sticks seem too rough, milk them to smoothness with the help of sandpaper with small grain.

From the clothespins, quite good chairs and chairs are obtained. They are disassembled on halves and are connected using joinery glue. Figure products are obtained by almost several dozen minutes.

Armchair, table - also you can make clothespins

Almost always for the manufacture of doll furniture use wooden clothespins. But no one forbids to take plastic. It is also difficult to work with them just the difficulty in the fact that the wooden is easier to refine, changing the thickness of the form, etc. If the product is simple, refinement does not require, you can also take plastic. They are more diverse in shape and sizes, already painted, so there is less than one with them.

With an increase in skill, you can go to a more complex material - a fane or wood. The complexity is that the outtage and cutting of miniature parts requires filigree accuracy, perfection and takes away the mass of time. But you can do everything you wish.

Step-by-step instruction

So that the manufacture has passed quickly and not accompanied by problems, exists step-by-step instructionThe master class of furniture from cardboard consists of a phased description of each action. It begins with the creation of the drawing, then there is a formation of details, their strengthening. The finish stage is the assembly of furniture. Each of the stages must be considered separately.

Creating a drawing

The first thing you need to do is to perform a furniture drawing. To begin with, it is drawn on the usual sheet of A4 format to see the reduced version. In such a sketch, it is important to register all sizes and observe scaling. If there is a skill of work in special programs, allowing to develop products of products - we are worth using them.

The first drawing should have an image of a product in a total volumetric form. Next, it is necessary to draw a projection of furniture with a view from above, on the side, from behind separately. The next step will be an image of the product details: each item must be drawn separately.

When the drawing is ready - it must be transferred to the sheets of cardboard:

  • With the help of a roulette and a long line on the surface of the raw materials, they paint with a pencil, measuring the necessary dimensions;
  • It may take a carbon to work so that the corners of future furniture are smooth in the figure;
  • When dealing with a thin cardboard, try not to leave scratches with a pencil, and in the manufacture of furniture from corrugated cardboard - line draw clear and deep;
  • Coloring parts is necessary in compliance with all indents and possible reserves of distance.

You can use the finished patterns or come up with your product that answers specific dimensions and preferences.

Formation of details

It is worth noting that when cutting parts should not be visible bends. If the work is made on the box from household appliances - Better to cut on smooth faces. From the six-layer cardboard, you can make furniture with your own hands with high strength, for example, a shelf for shoes or books.

Product details are formed using an acute stationery knife. Masters advise to use a building knife if working with multi-layer raw materials is supposed. As the knife is blown off, the blade changes. Dumb knife will not be able to cut off the necessary part along the contour - you have to redo the pattern.

Depending on the type of furniture assembly, details can be:

  • Inserts;
  • Glued;
  • Extensive.

The last option involves gradual cardboard extensions to achieve optimal thickness. Such a move will additionally strengthen the model, without giving it to suitable under loads. It is advantageous to use cardboard sleeves in the design - special tubes having high density. They are suitable for the production of legs to furniture, as well as for assembling structures in the original style. For example, a chair from cardboard pipes looks creative and can withstand human weight.

Strengthening designs

Each item after cutting with a knife should be processed. This happens in the following way:

  1. Stripping. Sliced \u200b\u200bedges of the module must necessarily be sanded. This technique will give them smoothness and will prepare for further processing;
  2. Casting. For this, kraft paper is used. It must be broken with his hands, after which, with the help of glue, PVA gently caught the edges. You can apply paper on the entire surface, which creates additional hardening.

Durable and reliable will be furnished, assembled with grooves. In the photo below, you can see the principle of manufacturing such furniture: in the process of the pattern, the oblong holes are additionally outlined, which are subsequently cut out. The supplies are inserted into the grooves, which fastens the frame on both sides. Thanks to this, the furniture becomes stronger.

Often use rigidity ribs that additionally fix the foundation for furniture. With the help of them, you can independently strengthen the countertop from the cardboard, the shelf for shoes, a shelf for books. The ribs of stiffness and grooves are necessarily wedged with glue. Strengthening the design, in the future you do not have to worry about the durability of furniture.

Assembly process

All prepared details glue with an adhesive gun or glue moment. If the assembly is carried out using the grooves - they are also sampled for strength. All irregularities on the surface of thick cardboard are recommended to be embedded with a putty - it will not leave the traces, but it will nestly hide under the trim.

Details requiring gluing layers must be put under the press. For this, books or other heavy items will fit well. After gluing them, they are left for several hours, and better for a whole day, until complete drying. All the resulting edges must be masked using craft paper. Carefully get the resulting corners to give them roundedness. Next, it's small - decoration. Several options allocate:

  • Decoupage - wipes sacking;
  • Acrylic staining;
  • Wallpapers;
  • The use of self-adhesive film;
  • Decoration with mixtures.

Finished furniture can be used for its intended day after the day after production. Everyone can make furniture from cardboard with their own hands, how to find patterns and schemes will be discussed below.

Furniture from cardboardnew Trend. In the movement of recycling, that is, in turning unnecessary to the right one. The craftsmen from all over the world make full-fledged furniture from ordinary cardboard boxes, and today we will see which one.

I am sure that you have repeatedly concerned the question of how you can use cardboard boxes, especially from under the technique of type refrigerators and televisions. They are such new, beautiful, durable. Sorry to throw out! A little bit, very little work - and you will have excellent furniture from cardboard.

____________
Furniture from cardboard looks completely like ordinary furniture - for example, in the photo on the right you see the rack from ordinary cardboard boxes, inserted one into the other, placed on the ends with paper tape and painted waterproof paint in white color. This rack costs the hosts in the price of a liter canister of paint, and looks very worthy. As you can see, if you clean the cardboard well, the furniture becomes quite water-repellent and many vases with flowers can be placed.

Note the photo above and the photo on the left is that this furniture from cardboard is easy to disassemble - the boxes are not glued, but are connected by plastic clamps, such as those who use in street cafes so that the wind does not carry a tablecloth from the tables.

You probably have doubts that the furniture from cardboard is quite durable. I also had them. But I was convinced that if you take two boxes from under the technique (one slightly less than another) of a dense corrugated cardboard and insert one box to another, then the resulting "double" box turns out to be quite rigid design.

Furniture from cardboard is not intended for large loads, but drawing up books or accessories into it, as in the photo on the right, it is quite possible. As you can see in the photo, the cardboard does not bend under the weight of books, and the furniture from cardboard looks like a full-fledged purchase rack.

Of course, making furniture from cardboard must be carefully - carefully cut "closures" from the boxes, insert one box to another, if necessary, if a smaller box is too small, and a blank space remains between its walls and walls of a large box, pave this space by other sheets of cardboard . Crop the boxes so that their cut (shelves' ends) were smooth. Skin this cut paper scotchpie (you can first point it to be a smooth surface). To raise the place where the scotch and cardboard is closed. And carefully paint.

However, you can not paint furniture from cardboard, but to leave the remnants of the wallpaper:

Furniture from cardboard can be wrapped inside with a beautiful cloth, as in the photo on the left, and then to this fabric on the pins, trailers all sorts of accessories - photos, notes, reminders, etc. In the photo on the left, however, not furniture from cardboard, and furniture made from under wine, but the essence of the same.

To hide the furniture from cardboard with cloth, use the usual stationery buttons, well pressing them fabric.

Collecting together a lot of cardboard boxes and paint them in different colors, you will get excellent furniture for the nursery. Such cardboard furniture can help you very much for the period between moving and final repairs.

In such an improvised rack, many children's things will enter, and it will cost you about 500 rubles (Bank of white paint and several calves).

But it is especially important in the furniture from the cardboard that the kid itself can participate in its manufacture, and it will be very good.


If you are going to make furniture from cardboard not for saving considerations, but from creative - use different paints, fabrics, remnants of wallpaper, pieces of self-adhesive film, etc. Petray combination can be very beautiful, if you carefully pick up colors!

Furniture from cardboard, as I mentioned above, - perfect solution For nursery. Firstly, it is very cheap, so you can relax on the subject of damage. Secondly, it can be made anything, and this stimulates your and child fantasy.

It is difficult to believe, but the table in the photo on the left is also from the cardboard. Again inserted one into another cardboard boxes. They are glued together and are saved by self-adhesive film under the tree. What acts as a countertop, I did not quite understand - perhaps the chipboard board, and maybe there are also several layers of cardboard.


Furniture from cardboard has become so popular in the West, which agency appeared in Australia, which manufactures it on an industrial scale. In the photo on the right - a table of cardboard, fully made of secondary raw materials, that is, no one needs cardboard boxes. All cardboard furniture is very durable and can be used as ordinary furniture.

In order to be better seen that furniture from cardboard, the manufacturer does not paint it.


______________________

Well, in order not to get up twice, I will tell you in this article about the furniture from the boxes, which are used by trading networks for transportation and storage of products.

In the West, everyone just go crazy for such furniture, and on sites, where it is told how to make furniture from cardboard or from boxes, even write: "If you are lucky enough to find drawers from fruit or wine ..." Why was lucky - because retailers As a rule, relate to their property very tremble and try to squeeze out of the packaging maximum possible, the boxes are used to complete wear, so finding boxes in good condition is not easy.

But sometimes they can be obtained as a gift when buying wine in large volumes.

And then the Europeans expected to work to work in complete delight of Masters or the same racks as cardboard furniture in the photo above, or other interesting things.

Special chic is considered not to paint the boxes, but leave them in pristine form - with all scratches, the stamps of the former owner and stains. Boxes are only sandwiched to avoid the dominance, and their appearance remains the same.

It comes to the fact that famous designers, creating an environmental interiors, make custom furniture, imitating furniture from drawers, as in the photo above.

It is very fashionable to fasten to the drawer wheels and get a cot for a doll, as in the photo on the right, mobile nightstand or drawer for flowers, as in the photo below.

It is clear that applications from such a box on wheels can be a lot - for example, in this way we can make a serving table if you put boxes on the side.

Furniture from boxes can be almost any - here, for example, someone made for their living room and a coffee table, and a rack from the same boxes, painting their white paint.

My taste is rude, but it is obvious that the owner and sought this effect. In general, this is such an uneven, coarse color or the complete absence of such as in the photo above, is now in great fashion.

It is funny, but you can make furniture even from plastic boxes that are used to transport bottles as in the photo on the right. Adjust the legs from below, and from above - a pillow, and here you have a beautiful funny empty. Of course, he is not suitable for any interior.

You probably noticed in all photos in this article that the furniture from cardboard and from the boxes is not universal - it is suitable only to the interiors with a high proportion of humor, built on the nobility of the owners to all expensive and glamorous and on their love for everything ridiculous, homemade.

For example, this post bed one Spaniard made from two plywood boxes, screwing on top of the old shelf to them and painting independently acrylic paint. Nothing special, but pleasure is the process of manufacture. Plus, she does not stand anything, but the eye is still pleased.

Excellent wall shelves can be made of plywood or wooden boxes. It is very simple - saw the box, sand it and cover with varnish or paint according to your taste. Pastoral, cute, funny.

A rather stylish table, made under the tree and the skin, and not just a table, and the table folding.

Author's Words: Pretty stylish table, made under wood and skin, and not just a table, and the table folding. 1. So, the first photo. Cut out the basic form for our .. Um, probably it is worth named with legs. In general, cut out the shape for the legs of the table. One thick layer is visible in the photo, but it is not a gluing and not fat cardboard, as it may seem at first glance. The author, apparently, cut out all 6 supports (3 for one side and 3 for another) at a time. It is very reasonable, since with a similar approach, Tol will be more symmetrical and, hopefully, will not be fused.


2. Now we collect every support. We start from the middle, with the middle plank. Doing grooves, it is best to make them simultaneously on the middle bar for the second support. It must be what:

3. Now fill the grooves with the response parts. The width of all inserts should be equal, and the height correspond to the height of each particular element to which they are attached (well, that, I think, is quite understandable and in the photo).
I want to say that the exact dimensions of the table are unknown, I do not think that he is big, most likely it is something like a coffee table, but the same design can be extrapolated to a more serious subject, for example, make a table for the living room. Why not? So you will have to set the width and height of all parts yourself according to the shared scale.

To strengthen the compounds, use quick-drying glue - a moment or, which is even better, we use a glue gun for this.


4. To the main central part of each support on the sides using the same adhesive guns, we glue the side parts of the cardboard sheets. As you can see, the table detail is already quite stable)). Here on this photo is not yet visible (it will be noticeable in the following) that the author when gluing into one whole side support strengthened the joints additionally sinking the edges of the lattice with pieces of cardboard, so it turned out that composite elements The side supports would seem to consist of a double cardboard sheet.


We remember that two pieces should be two.

5. Only on the last photo we have left no closed outdoor sides. In the next photo, they are already neatly closed with cardboard plates. The author lowered this procedure in his photo, but there is nothing particularly difficult here. Cut out the width of the lateral support a rectangle from cardboard, slightly bending it, winding, for example, on a stick to give it a curved shape, and with the help of adhesive guns, attach to the side parts of the supports. You can try to stick all this with one layer, bent it accordingly. But the author, and it is really more convenient, cut a rectangle into two parts and stuck their joint-B-joint separately. On this photo, two supports are already with the sidewings and here the bottom of the table is glued: the bottom parts of the supports are glued to the layer of thick cardboard (you can pre-glue two sheets of cardboard).

6. Now on the basis of the glued bottom, we make this extent:

Inserts in the grooves in the central part are not yet needed, just cut out them, try on and put it aside. And the cutting on the right and to the left of the central part cover again, the layers of cardboard are glued with a glued pistol

7. On the next photo is not visible, however, a permissive (rigidity ribs) should be held on top of the first layer of cardboard. They need to be very scrupulously customized so that they were in almost one level with the top edge of the oval cutout in the side supports so that the cardboard layer lay closely lying tightly on the rigidity themselves and it would be glued to this very upper edge of the oval cut. In general, see photo:


Yes, and do not forget about the grooves in the central part. Now they can be fill.

At the same time, we finished and the inner sidewalls of the table supports. As you can see - I will reduce and inside, we have everything is placed with cardboard.

8. Now pull-out drawers. How to do them, I think it is quite clearly visible in the photo. It's all about the accuracy of measurements. The only reminder is the front "wall-wall" make out of two layers of cardboard (although it would be possible to strengthen the whole box in a similar way ..)

But such partitions not only organize the space inside the drawer, but also strengthen it.

9. The next stage. Now we return to the top again. On the surface of the cardboard sheets on both sides from the central part, we again glue the ribs of stiffness, extincting that they turn out to be flushed with the overall surface of the side supports. At the same time, we close the lateral "insides" of the table sheets of cardboard.


10. Now that we have a tabletop. Remember the same thing that we have a folding table.
The tabletop consists of a lower thick sheet of cardboard (two sheets can be glued together), the perimeter of which is equal to the perimeter of the table of the table. The upper cover sheet of cardboard is the same. Two sidewalls are sticking with tightly narrow strips of cardboard. In the end, the table looks like this:

But the internal structure is this:

These elements come from the sidewalls of the table and add up, forming a small surveillance:

11. Decoration. Here is an honest word, I really did not understand what the author did specifically. If anyone thinks - write.

I tend to the fact that the alignment went to ordinary paper-kraft, then the paint was painted from above in several layers, polished to get rid of the joints (yes, all the joints on cardboard should be placed with paper scotch). External boxes of boxes and countertop are decorated with material "under the skin". Such can be reached in needlework stores for binding of books) and in construction and wallpapers there must be something similar. From above, probably dark varnish.

Chair from cardboard

I do not know if this idea is useful to someone from readers. I'm not at all sure that someone wants to apply it in practice, and yet. She may well push readers to other interesting solutions. In any case, I like what happened. We will assume that I want to boast)

It happened that upholstered furniture from the group kindergartenIn which my Polina walks, they gave another, a new group. Our children just nothing to sit on. My girlfriend Tanya, who is worried about the whole soul for our kindergarten and trying to help me in every way, told me, "Lena, I read on the Internet how to make a chair from cardboard. And I did it. Come on him a case? " Well, the case is so case.

It was clear that this is such a temporary measure - let at least one chairs will be in the group until something decides with upholstered furniture. Tanin Chair seemed unstable. He, how to say it ... "played" as a harmonica. It seemed to me that for more than a week he would not like. Somehow it was a pity to spend a big piece of fabric on him. But Tanya spent on cutting and bonding 2 days! I decided to make a chair early and then squeeze it.

I did not photograph in detail the whole process of work (there is never time for it)), but here are the main stages. I wanted to make a chair. Sustainable and strong. It seemed that several kids would jump on it (and I was right))). So, first was made by such a "sandwich" in the form of a semicircle: Chipboard - between them Bruksi - chipboard. It turned out the base with a thickness of about 10 cm. This is to ensure that the walls can be fixed. For the same purpose vertical racks. Front wall - plywood; The back is organic (it is so good in the one))). Bend the backrest first drawn on the eye on the remnants of the wallpaper, the back of the back is slightly higher. The base is 4 legs of old polynic wooden cubes.

Polina loved the chair already at this stage)) Here you can see that I started sticking the cardboard, filling the inner space of the chair. This is the same corrugated cardboard from the boxes from which the tannin chair was made. Not all layers are solid, most are just glued pieces, between them somewhere and gaps, it does not play roles. First glued on the pva. But soon refused him, because The cardboard swells from him as a wet waffle and deformed, so I had to put a cargo on top, wait until he dried ... long and uncomfortable, so after several layers I went to joiner glue. Great thing in all respects.

In the photo it is clear how the walls turned out. In the course of work and at the end I lined them with a knife. Everything is so easy to cut)) Further foam + glue moment gel.

And case. (It was the most pleasant part)) ready.

from MarriTty

The chair turned out soooo heavy. But I think it is a plus - at least not turnover)) Well, of course fabric .... These are just some remnants that were found at home. Sitter on the armrests, although the fliseline was punctured, could not count on a long life. But we wanted temporary furniture, which is not a pity will throw away.
For more than six months, the kids broke the cloth on the armrests. I think to fix the upholstery, because Everyone was attached to the chair, and in itself it is just unnecessary. But the remake of the upholstery is a completely different story.

I also offer several photo ideas from the Internet
