(Mini tables and chairs production video)
For a long time, I have been thinking about making guitars, storage racks, etc., the real kind, but never put it into practice. One day, I suddenly realized - why not start by making mini tables and chairs to practice my skills first!
Heres how to turn your imagination into reality. We only need to use some common materials in life. If you are also interested, then let’s start reading!~
You will need to prepare:
1. Hot glue gun (glue stick)
2. Wire stripper
3. A box of matches
4.Strong glue
5. 10-20 ice cream sticks
6. 6-8 small wooden sticks (about 2 mm in diameter)
7. Large paint brush (No. 12)
8. Some paint (tan, black and yellow)
9. Measuring ruler
10. Cutting mat (not required)
1. You need to cut off the heads of the matchsticks to make them look more realistic. Wire strippers are used here.
2. Prepare as many matchsticks as possible to avoid sudden shortages during the production process.
3. Place 4 matchsticks as shown in the picture and fix them with super glue.
4. Paste 2 or more matchsticks horizontally to the middle. This shape will provide support as this is the backrest portion of the chair.
5. Take out 3 ice cream sticks, place them next to the backrest, and mark them with a pen.
6. Cut along the mark, and then use another shortened ice cream stick to stick it lengthwise in the middle.
7. Glue it to the back of the chair, which is the seat of the chair.
8. We need to take out some more matchsticks and start making the armrests of the chair.
9. This will make them look more realistic.
10. Now we need small wooden sticks, cut 8 pieces, each with a length of 3 cm.
11. Glue 4 pieces on the bottom of each chair.
12. These are the legs of the chair. Your chair is now ready.
13. Then we started making the table.
14. First we cut out four small wooden sticks, each with a length of 4 cm.
15. Place 6-7 ice cream sticks side by side.
16. Glue 3 shortened ice cream sticks to strengthen them and make a tabletop.
17. Trim the edges flat to make it look more realistic.
18. It should look like this when finished.
19. Use a hot glue gun to glue 4 small wooden sticks to all 4 corners of the table.
20. Our table is now complete.
Please note that after gluing the legs to the table, the table should be stable.
21. Let’s start coloring. Use a paint brush and some paint.
22. Your mini table and chairs are now complete.
Finally, you should check that everything is correct. Then, you can sit back, relax and enjoy your work~
