Doll furniture: the chair
Hello! What are you doing
I finally managed to finish the chair! Yes, it took a while, but finally here. It doesn’t look like I imagined, but I’m very happy with the results. It’s not perfect, but I’m not very smart, so I think I did it right.
On my desk I show you a photo where you see a chair and two sticks. The process of making a chair is the same as the top and bottom of the table. I started by drawing on a sheet of paper and then copied it into a box of cereal. I think I did more or less 6-8. Then I cut the pieces and glued them together.
Once everything was glued together, I sanded the edges.
At the top of the chair, I cut two round pieces so that you could stick the sticks there, which will become the back and legs of the chair.
I then cut out wooden pins for the legs and back of the chair. I tried to do it with pliers, but they left marks on the wood, so I used a small saw. The picture on the right shows the marks on the dowels.
I measured and noted the height of my legs using a mannequin as a reference. Then I also noted the height of the front limbs and trimmed them. I had nothing to keep chopsticks, so I had to, because Lord Monster asked me to keep them while watching. Don’t worry, I didn’t cut so close to my desk, I just took this photo to show you what type of saw I use.
I sanded the cut edges of the wooden dowels a bit because mine wasn’t perfect.
Then it's time to set everything up. This time I used PVA glue and the result was much better. You can also apply PVA glue with a brush, which will give you more accuracy.
Now it's time to put in their place the smallest sticks. Let's start with the following. Honestly, I had the hardest time sticking to the smallest pieces because I didn’t have a very flat pulse.
Well, now it’s starting to look like a chair.
The last two sections were the hardest because I had to make sure they were aligned. I actually dropped the first glued piece, trying to glue the second one together several times ...
When the glue is completely dry, it's time to paint.
I like the paint I use, Aculux, a Spanish manufacturer of Titan. It is a water-based silk paint that contains resin similar to water-based enamel and looks very good quality.
Finally, here the chair is completely varnished. The color looks a little lighter than I expected, but I’m happy with the result.
When I tried a chair with a doll, I noticed that the legs are a bit long. I have to fix this in my next seat.
So what do you think? Are there tips for future crafts? Have you worked on something?
