How to make a chair for a doll with your own hands

Foam rubber option

A wonderful chair is very easy to make from foam rubber and fabric.
Below is a master class on how to make it with step-by-step photos. You will need five dish sponges, a piece of fabric, padding polyester, scissors, a needle and thread, lace and beads for decoration. Instead of sponges, you can take pieces of foam rubber or polystyrene foam and cut out parts of the desired size.

For parts from sponges you need to sew covers. We fold two sponges one on top of the other and sew the first cover on them. We sew the second one also for two sponges, but folded lengthwise. This will be the back of the chair, and it should be higher than the other parts. And one more cover needs to be sewn for one sponge. This will be the top seat of the chair.

Place covers on the parts.

Sew the backrest to the double seat. We sew a strip of lace along the edge of the seat.

Now you need to sew the seat from one sponge. The connection of the two seat parts must be decorated with another strip of lace, braid or decorative cord.

We sew two rectangular elongated bags from fabric.

We fill these bags with padding polyester and sew them to the seat along the edges. They make beautiful armrests. The chair is ready.

Wicker chair

You will need the following materials for work:

Cardboard.
Needle.
Wire.
Twine (can be replaced with regular yarn).
Sponge for washing dishes.

In order to make such a cozy wicker chair for a dollhouse, you need to follow the given algorithm:

Cut the back of the chair from a piece of cardboard.
Make a hole along the edge using a needle.
Arm yourself with pieces of wire, insert them into the holes, first folding them in half.
Using twine or yarn, weave the top.
When everything is ready, secure the thread by bending the wire.
Weave the bottom, also securing it with wire to the end.

Important! Make sure that the chair does not wobble.

Weave a twine or wool braid of the same color and cover the curved wire with it to decorate it.
Make them with the same wire for the chair legs.
Arm yourself with a thin piece of dishwashing sponge, cover or cover it with a fabric of a suitable color and place it on a wicker chair.

Your DIY wicker chair for a doll is ready!

Important! In a similar way, you can make a table, bench and other pieces of furniture for dolls.

Vintage furniture

We will make another chair in a vintage style from a plastic bottle, padding polyester and fabric.

To work, be sure to prepare sharp scissors, regular glue, cardboard, paper and a pen.

We measure the desired height of the chair and cut off the bottom of the bottle.

On paper we draw the back and a smooth transition from it to the seat.

Cut out the template. We cut the edge of the bottle along it.

Using the same template, cut out two parts from padding polyester.

We sew each detail with a ring.

Now you need to sew two rings along the top edge, turn them inside out and put them on the edge of the bottle. Glue the bottom.

Glue another rectangular piece to the top edge.

You need to sew a bottle cover from fabric. Its length should be the same as two heights of the chair.

Apply glue to the outer surface of the bottle and carefully put on the cover. Its lower part will be glued. We put the upper part of the case into the bottle.

We form beautiful folds on the back and glue them one by one.

We fill the bottom of the chair with padding polyester.

Cut out a circle from cardboard, the diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of the bottle.

Cut a circle from padding polyester with a diameter slightly larger than that of a cardboard circle.

We bend the edges of the padding polyester and glue them to the mug.

Now the resulting soft seat needs to be covered with fabric.

We cut out a circle from the fabric with a diameter twice the diameter of the cardboard circle.

Place a frequent basting stitch along the edge of the circle.

We place the seat blank in a circle of fabric. Tighten the basting stitch threads.

The seat is ready.

We place the seat in the chair.

We decorate the chair with frills and beads. We sew small pillows.

Let's knit another pillow.

This makes a great vintage doll chair.

What will you need?

Scheme of a soft ottoman

To make a bean bag chair for a child, you will need to purchase the following materials:

two types of fabric for covers;
zippers;
filler.

As a rule, homemade children's furniture is made bright and colorful, because this is the option that the baby will like. It is also important that the chairs are in harmony with the interior of the room. As for the material itself, it is important that it can withstand active children's fun. You can use leatherette, furniture or upholstery fabric. If you want, you can even take the skin.

The material for the inner cover should be light, breathable and smooth.

Some needlewomen have found a simple option - old unnecessary duvet covers. Regarding zippers, it is worth saying that it is undesirable to use metal ones, because a child can easily get hurt by them. They must match the color of the outer case.

Filler for an upholstered chair

Expanded polystyrene, or rather, balls made from it, is perfect as a filler. They are light, soft, non-toxic and fill the inside of the bag well. Thus, sitting in the chair will be very comfortable.

How to make a chair?

First, let's decide on the size of the cardboard (and, accordingly, the chair itself). Estimate the size of the doll. If you are making it for Barbie, just cut out a piece of cardboard measuring 21*12. In this case, we immediately cut off the right and left upper squares and bend them in the shape of a chair.

We will make a seat from the previously cut pieces. Let's glue the lower part (from the inside, by the way, you can also glue it with double-sided tape), but don't attach it to the main part yet.

Now let's glue the sponge onto the seat and back of the chair. Don't make them too thick.

Let's unfold our future doll chair for a moment. We will also wrap the armrests with a piece of sponge. Here it can be hemmed or glued. Immediately wrap the back and the visible part under it with a beautiful fabric - we will glue them.

We return the lower part of the craft to its place and estimate the size of the upholstery. Now we will paste over the arms of the future armchair.

Again, briefly unfold the top part and cover all open parts with fabric.

We glue it on the back at random, then carefully disguise it.

Let's put it all together. Glue up the missing parts.

Look, we have a real throne! And if you take satin or velvet, it will be even more beautiful. And even the cushion on our seat can be removed - our chair is just like a real one. Children will definitely be delighted!

Creative work

Making a swing for dolls with your own hands is not difficult, but hard work. It will be difficult for a child to cope on his own, but with the help of an adult he will have the opportunity to assemble a simple attraction for his favorite toy.

Before creating an accessory, you need to decide on their design and the materials from which they will be made. There are several simple ways to make a swing for dolls. We prepare or purchase the necessary material, stock up on creative ideas and get to work.

How to sew a chair for a doll | crafts fair magazine

Hello everyone!

All pictures are clickable!

I needed a chair for someone, and I was like Buridan’s donkey: cut it out? glue it out, look for ready-made baby stuff and somehow remake it? Is yours weak? It was decided to sew. Well, let's go then, after the bike we sew a chair - ugh, you won't even notice)))

I drew approximately what I wanted, tried it on the finished doll, wrote down the dimensions and drew something similar to a pattern. It’s not difficult - just rectangles and squares made of cardboard. ………………………………………………………………………………………….

What you need: thick cardboard - a box of some kind of equipment, a breadboard knife (I don’t have one), scissors - I have this, natural fabric, at least a little springy (flax is dense, prickly, rejected for sewing clothes), stronger threads - denim threads, non-Chinese needles, foam rubber 3 cm thick, but in general you can have some synthetic padding polyester by the meter, patterned braid of any color you like - mine looks like gold, small buttons, beads for decoration - I have adhesive rhinestones “gold-like” caps from plastic bottles or wine corks - I used 8 caps from bottles with vegetable oil, they have a flat bottom and the size is correct …………………………………………………………… …………….

I cut out the foam parts using the pattern.

I glued them together in two (foam rubber is not very thick, so I cut each spare part twice from foam rubber and twice from cardboard)

I covered these double parts with padding polyester, here are the different stages of covering.

I marked the flax, then cut it into pieces approximate according to the patterns - there is no need for special precision, everything will still be pulled inside out.

The red-haired assistant appeared and lay down in the trash can. The fabric, cut into approximate pieces, is placed on the sheathed foam blanks, which are already lying on the cardboards, and all this is pulled on the wrong side with strong threads, the same procedure is done with another cardboard, but there will be no foam rubber, when everything is sewn together, the front part is soft and quilted , the back is dense and not quilted. It’s clear to me, but what do you think?

This is how all the parts look before assembly, I took a photo from the front and from the backside, you can see how I stretched the fabric onto the cardboard, the cardboard is always on the backside and under a layer of synthetic padding. If you want a chair with a stitch, then you need to quilt it before attaching the covered cardboard, and before painting .

Black actively helps, pressing his knees with his body.

Finished side panels, half of the backrest and next to it, almost out of the frame, a seat.

I’m sewing the seat and backrest together, it almost looks like something...

The spare part is attached to the side, you can see how I stretch the fabric onto cardboard with padding polyester glued on.

A roughly assembled chair from the front, from the side.

There will be such round legs, the covers covered with padding polyester are sewn into fabric.

I have already sewn three legs. Having assembled everything, I even went through all the seams twice, picking up all sorts of folds and wrinkles.

The white one came to play with a rag.

Phenomenon two - Mont is tearing up cardboard, they all really liked it...

Melanie checks the semi-finished product for convenience and strength)))

Getting ready to paint!

I paint and paint, paint and paint, the first layer is a preparatory layer with PVA.

Well, I finished painting it ;)!

I painted EVERYTHING, now let it dry. Next, you need to remove the roughness, which was very visible from the glue on the fabric, rubbed with sandpaper, lightly, but everywhere.

Painted it brown again.

And again I sanded a little. I glued a piece of textured, pre-painted cloth underneath to cover all the seams and joints of the seat cushions.

I painted the legs a light color for the second time.

Then I painted them to look like wood. And it’s ready, there is no process of gluing the braid, as I pressed the tape with both hands and held it for several minutes until it set, the same with the golden rhinestones: I glued it and held it.

Dimensions of the finished chair:

Height along the back – 28 cm, height to the “armrest” – 20 cm, height to the seat – 10 cm, seat depth – 10 cm.

I hope that my humble experience will be useful to someone!

Manufacturing instructions

Children's pouf

How to sew a baby ottoman in the shape of a bag with your own hands?

Pouf patterns

The procedure is as follows:

Make two patterns on paper: one for the inner cover, the other for the outer one.
Lay out the templates on the material and secure with sewing pins, adding one and a half centimeters to the seams.
Place the shapes on top of each other and sweep them away.
Zigzag the edges using a machine and sew the two parts together.
Secure the zippers.
Make a funnel out of paper and pour foam balls through it.

It’s better to make two or three outer covers at once so that they can be changed for washing and updating the interior. This variety will surely be appreciated by your children.

Additional removable covers can be made

It is not necessary to sew a zipper on the inner cover. After filling in the filler, you can simply sew up the hole. But the outer cover must have a clasp so that it can be removed.

The chair should not be tightly filled. It is better to fill the balls to about 70% of the volume. Then it will be soft to sit in, and the pouf will take the shape of your body.

You can make a bag from a plain fabric and attach (sew/glue) a colorful applique of some cartoon character on top. A chair with a hanger (top handle) can be easily moved to other rooms or stored if it is not needed now.
