How to make a chair for dolls from paper or cardboard with your own hands


A small cardboard chair will be useful as a toy for girls in a dollhouse. Assembling a cardboard chair with your own hands will take you up to 15 minutes. This item is made from a square sheet of cardboard or paper.

When making pieces of furniture, you can use cardboard of different quality and thickness, which can be, for example, one, two, or three layers. The sides of the material can be smooth or rough. To create a chair out of cardboard with your own hands, just use cardboard that you may have on hand.

DIY doll chair

When making one of the dolls, I ran into a problem: what should I put it on?
I wandered around the Internet for several days, but never found anything suitable. I had to invent my own way of making a high chair from what was at hand. First you need to decide on the sizes. Personally, I didn’t draw any sketches, I just took the doll and started placing it on all the boxes and boxes in the house. I determined empirically that I needed a high chair with a height of 7.5 cm and a seat of 9x9 cm.

I cut out 10 squares measuring 10x10 cm from thin cardboard (sold in stationery stores), glued them with PVA and put them under a press until completely dry.

Using a breadboard knife and a metal ruler, I cut strips of paper. I think you can use any paper, but I used an advertising magazine.

We grease the strips with PVA glue and wrap them around plastic tubes, trying to give the legs the same shape. We also leave until completely dry.

It is best to postpone further work until the next day. The seat blank was dry, and I trimmed off the excess using a breadboard knife along a ruler. The result was a very durable square with perfectly straight edges.

Now I took the leg blanks and carefully sanded all the irregularities with the finest sandpaper. On the seat I mark the places where the legs are attached and screw in the screws.

I put the legs on the screws from below, gluing them to the Moment crystal.

Prime the bench with black or brown acrylic paint. I paint the top with gold paint.

Imitation of wood carving can be done in different ways. You can use stickers.

Or you can glue a suitable braid and paint it the color of your chair.

I took a piece of cardboard a couple of millimeters smaller than the finished seat. I cut out a square from padding polyester using it. I cut the fabric with a hem allowance and covered it with cardboard and padding polyester. I pulled it with thread.

I glued the crystal to the chair with Moment glue. Along the edge I covered the joint between the fabric and the cardboard using a cord.

Other chairs can be made using this technology. It all depends on your imagination!

The result is very light and durable furniture. The bench withstood a two-liter jar filled with water (I was afraid to put anything heavier, although I believe that this is not the limit).

This was my first master class in my life (please don’t judge too harshly)!

Good day, dear friends!

Children's games require a lot. In this case, you cannot do without toy furniture, which may require a lot. If the furniture in the toys does not fit in size, you can make it yourself. In particular, our master class offers a step-by-step process for making a paper chair.

To work you will need:

  • square sheet of paper;
  • scissors;
  • scotch.

The final dimensions of the chair will depend on the size of the sheet.

Stages of making a paper chair:

Fold the square in half.


After this, the edges need to be folded towards the resulting midline. As a result, we got two more folds.


The square sheet is divided into four parts, one of which needs to be cut off. We do this with scissors.


Fold the resulting workpiece in half.


We bend its right edge and form a triangular fold in the upper part.


You also need to do the same with the left edge.


We bend the right edge of our future chair towards src=»https://prostopodelki.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Stul-iz-bumagi-09.jpg» class=»aligncenter» width=»600″ height =”400″[/img] We do the same with the left edge. These will be the sides of the future high chair.


We slightly unfold the edges and bend the central part upward. This is the seat of our chair.


We give our blank the shape of a chair. Now all that remains is to secure the seat. To do this you will need scissors and transparent tape. We fix the seat from below (on both sides) with small strips of tape. Our paper chair is ready.
