Simple origami diagrams of a paper chair
A miniature chair is very easy to make using the origami technique. To do this, you will need a sheet of paper measuring 20x20 cm. Schemes for manufacturing can be found on thematic websites and downloaded from the Internet.
There are also many books on this technique. However, it is quite possible to experiment and create your own scheme. There are very simple circuit making a high chair, understandable to both adults and children.
Follow the strict sequence of actions:
REFERENCE! An ordinary chair can be easily made from a simple origami pattern in 5 minutes.
IMPORTANT! In the origami technique, strictly follow the recommended steps and try to make all folds as accurately as possible with the smallest error.
Stages of making a paper chair with your own hands.
Let's look at creating a paper chair step by step. This option is quite difficult to implement and may not work the first time.
Read and repeat the following steps carefully:
- Take a square piece of paper and fold it diagonally twice.
- At the same time, return the sheet to its original position each time.
It is important to make the diagonals visible. - Next you need to get a horizontal fold line. To do this, we also bend the sheet and immediately return it to its unbent form.
- We take the sides and connect them to each other so that we get a triangle.
- We bend the left edge and direct it to the center. This is a kind of mark at the bottom of the triangle.
- We direct the right tip towards the resulting mark, and then tilt it downwards.
- We bend the lower part twice so that the product is thinner.
- We bend a small corner in half and direct it to the left side.
- Next we straighten it. You need to insert some thin object into the corner.
- Then we straighten the corner and see a part that is very similar in appearance to the leg of the future
high chair. - Next you should make another leg.
- In exactly the same way, we get a small but noticeable mark and bend the right side to the center. And we bend the left corner to the right side towards the mark and bend the corner back and down.
- Then bottom part must be folded in half.
- We repeat all the steps for the second leg in the same sequence. As a result of the work done, the chair already has two supports.
- Let's start making the third support.
- We tilt the second part of the right corner to the left.
- We tilt the bottom corner back up to the vertical line.
- We bend the left side towards the right, and point the bottom corner up. We open it, straighten it and get a small triangle-shaped figure.
- We bend it in half and get the third leg of the craft.
- The fourth support can be made using a similar and already proven technology as the previous one.
- Bend the sharp corners of each leg upward.
- We make the back of the product. To do this, bend the top of the workpiece back in the opposite direction.
A simple way to make a chair from cardboard
As a prototype, you can use an ordinary home chair or other furniture. It needs to be scaled to a miniature format and all the dimensions of the future craft should be written down.
Let's consider the main stages of creating a chair from cardboard:
- We draw the components of the future product on cardboard. These will be four strips for the legs of the chair, two parts of the seat, crossbars, and back.
- First, let's make the legs of the chair. They are made from a sheet of paper rolled into a tube.
- We connect the legs and the first part of the seat with glue.
- After the adhesive has dried, glue the legs to the second part of the seat.
- For greater strength and reliability, we add kind of partition bars to the chair legs. Everything is like on a real big chair. They make the craft more stable, which makes it possible to place your favorite doll on it.
- We connect the back and seat together.
There is an easier way to make furniture for a doll:
- To do this, a cardboard sheet must be connected in the shape of a cylinder with a diameter equal to the seat area.
- Next, you need to place the cylinder vertically and mark the height of the chair and its legs.
- Next, you need to cut out a piece of cardboard so that you get a kind of ottoman without legs.
So that the doll can sit on it, the empty space is filled with paper and the seat is glued. - The chair is ready.
- You can leave it like this, or you can paint or decorate it.
ATTENTION! You can use cardboard of different quality and texture. It can be multi-layered, matte or glossy.

To achieve similarity with real furniture, textured paper that imitates various surfaces: stone, leather, fabric, wood and metal. When creating objects, it is better to use paint that does not completely saturate the material, but only gives it color.
The following materials are used for production:

- Sofa;
- Dresser;

To find out how to properly construct paper furniture, you need to consider each option separately.
Sofa
A paper sofa will look great both in a dollhouse and in a miniature copy real interior. Before you start, pay attention to the paper sizes:
- For miniature options, you should choose colored paper 10x10 cm;
- For execution in medium sizes, you need to give preference to a workpiece of 20x20 cm;
- To create a large-sized sofa, the dimensions of the material increase proportionally.
The color of the paper can be chosen as desired, but it is better that it fits into future interior or imitated real furniture. Having selected the materials, you can begin manufacturing:
- The square sheet is folded in half, after which it is opened and folded perpendicular to the first one;
- The next step will be an additional hem. The bottom edge is folded to the middle fold line, then folded again. The output is 3 fold lines, not counting the central one;
- The lower thin strip is folded onto the first fold, after which two identical triangles are laid by folding the side parts diagonally;
- The accordion is folded to the end, and top part the workpieces are bent to the middle. The workpiece is turned over;
- The lower corners are folded up in turn, and the upper corners are bent down diagonally;
- The workpiece is turned over again, bending one corner inward. This is how the back is formed.

Dresser
The most optimal and profitable way to create a paper chest of drawers is to use matchboxes. They slide out conveniently, so making the item will not be difficult. If you want to make a chest of drawers out of paper, then you should use paper blanks. This chest of drawers is convenient for storing small, lightweight items. This will perfectly include beads, beads, clasps, clips and other little things for creativity and handicrafts. The top of the chest of drawers can be painted with colored markers, giving it an original look.
Construction of a paper chest of drawers consists of the following steps:
- Drawing a diagram for creating boxes: this stage is skipped if ready-made matchboxes or other blanks are used;
- Cutting out diagrams along the lines, as well as assembling boxes for future chest of drawers;
- The entire chest of drawers is covered with cardboard for strength, but there is no need to seal the front part where the drawers will be inserted;
- The fronts of the drawers are covered with any material - fabric, film, leather, and a bead or button is also attached as a handle;
- Legs for a chest of drawers can be made from push pins– for miniature furniture or pipes from toilet paper– for dimensional products.

Making a stylish chair from colored paper is also not difficult. To create it you don’t even need glue or tape, you only need a sheet of paper of the required color. It is worth noting that cutting blanks from beautiful textured paper will give best result than furniture made from ordinary plain material. In addition, if you find diagrams that show parts of furniture made in different styles– you can make a chair that is as similar as possible to real furniture. To work you will need one sheet of paper in the shape of a square. Its dimensions are selected depending on the dimensions of the future product:
- Bend the square sheet in half, then open it and press one of the halves to the center fold line;
- Also press the second part of the square to the center of the workpiece. Next, walk your hand along all the fold lines to clearly outline the resulting lines. Open the workpiece and turn it over with the front side facing you;
- One part of the 4 resulting lines must be cut: this is done using scissors or a metal ruler;
- Fold the workpiece across the resulting lines, visually marking the center, and bend the triangle to the right. Do the same with the left side, you should end up with two triangles superimposed on each other;
- The middle strip remaining at the bottom is folded over the triangles. Each fold line is additionally smoothed with your fingers;
- The strip that was previously bent up is bent back - it will serve as a seat. The side parts will become supports for the hands; they must be glued from the inside to the seat.
The result is an original and easy-to-make paper chair. To diversify its surface, decorative paper that imitates leather can be glued to the seat.
Closet
The construction of the cabinet is similar to the construction of the chest of drawers, which was described earlier. The difference will be that the frame should be higher, and in addition drawers need shelves. Some nuances of making a paper cabinet:
- For the workpiece, you must use a scanner made from a rectangular sheet of thick paper;
- The ideal size would be A4 format; if you need a larger product, the dimensions are increased proportionally;
- After you have drawn the diagram, you need to cut it out: first, cut out the main elements along the lines, and then start cutting out the overhead valves;
- The frame of the model is glued together without doors;
- The doors are cut out of the same paper. Later they can be decorated with film: the adhesive layer of such material will allow you to apply it to the base without any problems.
Finally, decorative handles are glued to the doors. Buttons or beads are suitable for this. The legs are made of thick cardboard.
Table
Assembling a table from paper is not difficult, especially if you already have experience working with this material. There are many options for creating tables, but beginners should choose a less complicated method. It consists of the following actions:
- For work, use a square sheet of paper;
- All sides of the square are folded inward, forming mini-squares;
- Each square is folded inward to form triangles;
- The triangles curve outward;
- The final stage is the formation of the legs.
To elevate the tabletop, stick beautiful decorative paper on it or paint it with colored felt-tip pens and acrylic.
Decoration
Decoration should be a separate stage finished products. Do-it-yourself furniture, diagrams of which can be found in this material, is decorated as follows.
| Material | Peculiarities | What is it suitable for? |
| Self-adhesive paper for furniture | This material can be used in the manufacture of any type of furniture. This film is ideal for beginning craftsmen, because it is easy to cut, and the adhesive layer allows you to decorate the surface without any problems. | For tabletops, seats of chairs, sofas and armchairs, for decorating cabinet doors and chest of drawers. |
| Using paints | Paints allow you to show creativity and move away from standards. Using paint you can paint any pattern and design. When choosing a product, pay attention to ensure that it does not damage paper base. Acrylic or water-based compositions are preferred. | For all types of crafts, especially for decorating the front parts of products. |
| Application of fabric | The fabric allows you to imitate the structure of furniture as much as possible. | Suitable for sofas, armchairs and chairs. |
If gouache is used for decoration, you need to mix it with PVA glue (1:1). After drying, the paint will not imprint on your hands, and the product will receive additional rigidity.
Do-it-yourself paper furniture will be... excellent option for a dollhouse or designing models of a future interior. Creating miniature objects is a fun activity that you can involve all family members in.
Drawings and diagrams
The little owner of a dollhouse will definitely want to furnish it beautiful furniture and will ask her parents to help her with this. The house must have a sofa, table, bed, chairs and other pieces of furniture. Of course you can buy them. But you can easily make it yourself, using a minimum of funds.
Approximate Dimensions
Before you think about how to make a table for dolls yourself and from what material, you need to decide on the dimensions. You need to start from the height of the doll itself and the size of the house. The interior will look beautiful if all the furniture is approximately the same scale and style.
The easiest way to make all objects proportionally the same is to calculate the scale. Need to divide by doll size average height person. You will get a number by which you will subsequently need to divide all the real sizes of the furniture to get the doll sizes.
For example, the height of a doll is 20 cm. We divide the average height of a person 175 cm by 20 cm = 8.75. The actual dimensions of human furniture must be divided by this number to obtain the dimensions of doll furniture.
On average, dolls have a size from 7.5 to 15 cm. If the doll for which this or that piece of furniture is made fits these parameters, you can use the following sizes:
Furniture for dolls made from matchboxes
This is just a godsend for creating a dollhouse environment. From them you can create great amount furniture items:
An excellent material for making a doll set is cardboard. It is very easy to cut and is glued with regular PVA or hot glue. From the old cardboard box you can make all the furniture in the house. The only drawback of cardboard- this is that without decoration and finishing on top with some kind of material, it does not look very beautiful.
Corrugated packaging cardboard will not last long, as it wrinkles quite quickly and loses its shape. It is better to use cardboard for scrapbooking or just thick cardboard.
Gluing a bed out of cardboard is quite simple. You need to cut the bed walls to the required size and connect them with glue. The back can be decorated with wrapping paper or decorated using decoupage technique.
You can make a bed without glue. The walls will be fixed using grooves cut in the walls.
Making furniture from paper
If it is not possible to buy ready-made doll furniture, you can make it from paper. How to make a chair out of paper so that it is strong and does not immediately wrinkle? Roll the paper into tubes! From newspaper tubes craftswomen have been weaving anything for a long time. Sets for dolls will be no exception. Weaving patterns can be found on the Internet. Such items will decorate the house and look very cozy. In addition, they will be quite durable if painted or coated with several layers of varnish.
For the manufacture of paper furniture you will need:
You need to roll thin tubes out of paper. This can be done using a knitting needle. They should dry well. Then the tubes need to be glued lengthwise using glue. Better to use hot gun, so the connection will be stronger and the paper will not get wet.
In this way, small blocks (walls) are glued together, which are then connected to each other. They are easy to cut into the desired pieces. For better fastening, you can use wire or thread.
Then shelves and doors are made in the same way.. The doors need to be secured with tape or wire.
The legs and arms are made from the same tubes, rolled into a roll. The edge needs to be glued with hot glue.
Plywood doll products
A doll's wardrobe for clothes can also be made from plywood. He will serve his owner for a very long time. You can connect the walls and shelves together with hot glue or PVA. A hanger bar can be made from a wooden skewer or Chinese stick. Hangers are made from straightened paper clips.
The bed, table and chairs can also be made from this durable material. Some craftsmen even carve beautiful patterns on such furniture, imitating carved furniture. It looks very nice. The plywood needs to be painted or covered with fabric.
It is better to stuff the sofa with cotton wool or foam rubber so that it takes shape, and then cover it with fabric.
The table can be made as square, and round using a jigsaw. The legs will be wooden skewers or sticks. Chairs are made using the same principle.
Cardboard box furniture
From one TV box you can make all the furniture in the house. To create it you will need:
- The box itself.
- Double sided tape.
- Scissors.
- Regular wide tape.
- Glue gun or PVA glue.
- Materials for decoration.
All furniture must be cut out, cut into the necessary parts and glued together.
Next, the most interesting process begins - finishing. Cardboard can be painted, covered with wallpaper or paper . On the front of the cabinet or dressing table you should glue a piece of foil, imitating a mirror. You need to put a tablecloth on the table, and pillows on the sofa - this will add coziness.
Be sure to involve the child himself in the decorating process. This is a great opportunity to feel like an interior designer and show your creative thinking. Anything can be used: small stones, shells, beads, rhinestones, stickers.
After finishing the design work, the arrangement of furniture in the house and filling it with details (vases, figurines) begins.
Of course, you need dishes in the kitchen. It can be cut out of cardboard, wood or molded from plasticine. How to make a bottle for dolls is a more complicated question. Here you can use bottles of drops for the eyes or nose, or ran out of perfume samples.
Cabinet made of wooden rulers
Another way to quickly create a doll closet. To make one cabinet you will need approximately six rulers. You will also need a jigsaw and PVA glue for the job..
Cut and sand the rulers to prevent splinters. Everything was glued with PVA glue. After the product has completely dried, it can be painted. For a beautiful, even color, you need to cover the cabinet first with a layer of white paint, and then with the desired color.
In the same way you can make tables, chairs, bedside tables and other furniture for dolls.
How to make furniture from clothespins
It is not necessary to use wooden ones; plastic clothespins are also used. They vary in size and color, but with wooden clothespins the furniture turns out more comfortable and beautiful.
To make a table or chair from clothespins, you need to separate them. Halves of clothespins are used, which are connected to each other. Connecting them in a circle, make a tabletop, legs can also be made from halves of clothespins.
The beauty of this material is that you can easily shape the clothespin into the desired shape or cut off as much as necessary. Some people make their own theater on clothespins. Templates can be found online.
Making furniture for dolls is a rather exciting process in which the whole family can be involved. Dad can do the crafting, gluing, twisting, and preparing for framing. Mom and daughter will be happy to paint furniture, decorate it, sew tablecloths, pillows and bedspreads. This is a wonderful family activity that will delight your little princess.
