For the past couple of weeks I've been dabbling in furniture making. I started off with a miniature dollhouse chair. It's the template from House of Miniatures.http://www.houseofminiatures.info/images/40016.pdf
I just printed out the page with the parts of the chair, cut them out, traced them on veneer wood and cut those out.
I decided to test it out with lace. It has been very popular in my Etsy shop.
So I made a couple more!
This chair is still available here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/161700530/dollhouse-miniature-custom-handmade?ref=related-1
The ottoman is a little more difficult to make than the chair. I didn't have a template for it. I just winged it.
Then I decided to make a bed. *The ruffle comforter and the long ruffle pillow at the end of the bed
& one little ruffle pillow were made by Thewendydollhouse here on
Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheWendyDollHouse
*The top sheet with the lace trim and the pillow case with the lace trim were made by Debbie's Designs also on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DebbieCalif
I made the mattress, mattress sheet, and the hand painted roses pillow.
The bed is hand painted with twig garlands, roses, sunflowers and roses and birds.
The bed is available here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/161703007/miniature-dollhouse-robin-egg-blue-hand?ref=shop_home_active
I found a nice tutorial for a bistro folding chair(it doesn't actually fold). I found it here: http://www.evangelione.com/2007/11/wooden-chair-tutorial.html

I'm still looking for something new to try this week. I'm just researching Pinterest until something sparks the imagination. Have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteHi Caroline,
ReplyDeleteLoving your lil furniture, so adorable and cutsy.
That wing back chair and ottoman look beautiful
and comfy all at the same time. I'd like to curl up in it with a good book, but am afraid I might just break it!! lol
Your lil bed looks cozy comfortable too, and that lil bistro chair, so sweet.
You are amazingly creative my dear, and hope you are doing very well indeed.
We are counting down to moving day, only 10
days left.............Jerry is in Asheville working so we have been getting to spend a lot of time with Dee, so that has made us all very happy. We are all sad, less sad I think, but very excited and hopeful about their new adventures. We have seen the Lord do a lot of neat things, and it has really been building their faith, so that is a great thing, and
I am sure there will be more where that came from as they settle in............
Well, off to beddie bye, you take care sweetie.
Blessings Galore,
