Make it Monday August 19
After spending so much time on Pinterest
looking at vintage furniture I thought it would be fun to try to make a slipper
Chair and Foot Stool for my mini dolls. Today I will show you how to make your
own for your dolls using items you may already have on hand or can easily find
at the dollar store.
To make your own Slipper Chair and Foot
Stool you will need:
-1 toilet paper tube
-1 cardboard egg carton
-Felt
-*1 inch square of fiber fill, toilet paper
or more felt for the chair cushion.
-Dollar store ribbon, lace and
embellishments
-A glue gun
-Scissors
-Tape
-A Ruler
-A Pencil
Step 1- Use a ruler to make a mark at 1 ½
inches from the end of your toilet tube.
Step 2- Use your scissors to cut down to
that line and across 2 inches and back up. This will create your dolls chair
back rest
Step 3- Use your scissors to cut out one of
the egg cups from your carton. You will slide this cup inside your toilet tube
and tape or glue into place.
Step 4- Trim the back rest edges as shown
in the photo above
Step 5- Use your felt to cover your chair
back starting on the inside as shown above. Use your glue gun to glue the felt
in place. Do not glue the back down yet, just the front.
Step 6- Trim the access from the chairs
back rest.
Step 7- Cover the bottom of your chair with
more of your felt glue into place. Glue the felt to the chair back at the back
and sides.
Step 8- Use your lace trim to cover the
bottom of your chair to create a chair skirt. Glue as you go starting at the
middle back of your chair. Add a ribbon trim to embellish.
Step 9- Cut a 2 inch square from your felt
and one 1 inch square of fiber fill.
Step 10- Place the fiber fill on top of
your felt, use hot glue to attach the felt to the fiber fill. Use a pencil to
press the felt into the fiber fill.
Step 11- Once you have gone all the way
around your cushion is ready to glue into place.
Now to create the foot stool
Step 1- Cut another egg cup from your egg
carton.
Step 2- Cut a two and a half inch piece of
felt and glue around your egg cup as shown in the photo above.
Step 3- Once the felt is glued to the sides
fold and glue the remaining felt to the top of the egg cup. Embellish the stool
as you did the bottom of the chair.
Step 4- Once the top is covered cut a piece
of felt into a circle and glue on top of the folded felt.
Step 5- Add a ribbon bow to the back of the
chair and the foot stool with felt.
Once your chair is dry, your dolly can put
her feet up!
