This is Thatch Cottage in the making...
I made a little armchair from old card and some
floral fabric, below you can see how I did it.
I padded the arms and the back and even the front at the base.
I made a little cushion.
I began by taking the size from another 1/12th
scale chair, then I cut out some cardboard and created the basic shape.
The first section of cardboard. |
Now add a section of card for the seat. |
I padded the arms and the back and even the front at the base.
I made a little cushion.
I padded the arms.
I covered the front section of the arm.
Then the back of the arms so there are no gaps.
I padded the front of the chair.
I covered the rest of the main chair, glued the base in place.
Covered the back.
Lastly I added a frill and here is the finished chair.
gill i love this chair and you make it look so easy that i am going to have a go but bet it doesnt look anything like this lol lol... xxxx
