How to make a chair with your own hands. How to make a rocking chair with your own hands

Furniture can be made not only from boards, but also from any improvised material. The only question is how reliable, durable and lasting it will be. Consider how to make a chair with your own hands from plastic bottles, cardboard, wine stoppers, hoops and threads.

Armchair from bottles

For the chair you need the same bottles (do not remove the covers). Of them, you make modules so that the furniture is strong. For one module you will need three bottles. One bottle should be the whole, the other two cut into two unequal parts (the tip should be smaller). Now put the tip cork down into the second half. From above put the whole bottle. Cover it with the second half of the third bottle. Cut the module with tape.

Now fasten two or four modules together with tape or packing tape. You need to collect as much as necessary for the chair. To understand what blocks need to be formed, fold the modules in the form of an armchair with armrests, and then bandage.

For example, connect the armrests, the backrest, the bottom separately, and then fasten all the parts together. Do not save on the packing tape, since the bottles should not be displaced.

Instead of plastic bottles, you can take iron jars from under the infant formula and make a chair, bed with your own hands. Once the body is ready, tighten it with foam rubber. Separately sew cushions for the seat and back of the chair. Attach them to the foam rubber. Tighten with a cloth for furniture. Now you can tailor the cloak and decorate the chair. If you make the body still, then the furniture can last several years.

Outboard chair

For this model you will need an iron circle (hoop), a polyester cord (thickness 5 mm, length 900 meters), hook number 9, gymnastic ring, hook. Try to take the longest cord, since the nodules under the weight pressure may eventually loose.

Crochet the "seat" according to the size of the hoop. Any pattern or napkin pattern, even a simple arched net, will do. Please note that under the weight of the bottom will sink. Therefore, if you want a hard chair, the napkin should be smaller than the hoop in size. That is, the bottom is pulled on the base. You can not knit a seat, and with the help of a macrame make a hanging chair with your own hands.

Next you need to tie or weave the top. To do this, from cords (the number depends on the weight of the person, and the length - from the height of the ceiling) weave a small piece, drag it through the mount. Begin to expand knitting, weaving cords among themselves. After 20 centimeters weave a gymnastic ring. In this case, you distribute all the cords to an even number, and fill the rest of the space with other polyester segments.

Continue the interweaving of all the cords together, forming the back of the chair (resembles a tent). Then, with the same cords, you wrap the hoop. Therefore, the segments should be long, and the fastening - reliable. Actually the armchair is ready, but for beauty it is possible to connect a little bottom and decorate with a fringe.

How to make a chair with your own hands from papier-mache

This model requires a lot of time for manufacturing, but the result is worth it. Suitable chair for babies. You need to take a big fitness ball, inflate it, put it in a bag, attach a cardboard round bottom to the bottom (the "top" is on top).

Next, glue the ball with newspapers, wallpaper with wallpaper paste and PVA. To be convenient to pasted the ball, "pipekoy" down put it in the basin. The process is the same as when making papier-mache: pasted the first layer, left to dry. So you need to glue until the thickness reaches one centimeter.

Then turn the ball over, lower it. With a clerical knife, you make an oval shape (it turns out a semblance of a shell). Now it remains to make a soft armchair with your own hands. Take a blanket, blanket, foam rubber or other filler. Using a construction stapler, attach the cloth to the body from all sides.

In the last turn you decorate the body with a decorative cloth. Sew a pillow for sitting, cover with the same material and insert into a chair. To the bottom attach wheels. It turned out a soft baby seat for kids. Adults can not withstand the backrest and armrests.

Bag chair

Children can sew a seat-bag. Make his own hands can not only professional seamstresses. To do this, you need patterns. They can be of any shape, but the most popular is the pear-shaped with an oval end. Patterns do twice - on raincoat and upholstery fabric.

It is undesirable for the inner part to take the lining fabric, since under the weight of the weight it will creep. It is better to buy raincoat fabric, it is durable and water resistant. This is especially important if there are young children.

Sew the patterns, fill them with special foam plastic balls. Do this on the street or in the garage, as they are magnetized, stick to your hands and fly apart. The inner bag turned out. Now sew a cover from the same nine patterns (six wedges, one top and two halves of the bottom), only to the bottom or between two wedges sew up the zipper. As you can see, it is not difficult to make a chair-bag with your own hands.

To foresee what form is best for the seated, it is impossible. Only with the first experience can you understand how many pellets you need to fill, what fabric to use, what patterns should be used.

• You can make a rocking chair with one hand from one pattern. Draw a side sketch with the back, seat and bottom. It can be in the form of a lowercase letter "a", an oval, a hockey stick, etc. You need about 70 identical patterns, between which glue the cardboard inserts (triangles, plates). Then also cover with foam rubber and cloth.
• Draw on the cardboard four sketches of the chair (side view) and inserts of different length and thickness. In the inserts, make incisions and insert them into the sidewalls. Coat with thick foam rubber, cloth, and get a chair-chair.
