You can do such a miracle yourself. Let's look at several manufacturing options and describe step-by-step instructions for each of them.

How to make a hammock chair from textiles

If you do not have enough time and resources, then this model is perfect. WITHThe simplest option of all is textile. The process of its creation does not require special knowledge and skills. This method is perfect for anyone who wants to create a cozy place in a short time. Thanks to the simplicity of the design and ease of execution, you can make several chairs at once and create a kind of gazebo in which it will always be pleasant to linger.

The design of such a hammock involves a suspension system on which the body and fabric intended for the seat will be supported. The manufacturing process is simple and straightforward:

1. To begin, prepare your workplace, decide on the choice of mounting location and take the necessary tools.
2. First of all, make a frame to which the fabric of the future chair will be attached. The most convenient and easiest way is to use a hoop for this. This inexpensive and simple frame can be purchased at the store.
3. Cover the hoop with fabric so that it sags a little, but is not taut (for ease of use).
4. Sew the edges around the entire perimeter with thick threads. Sew a strip of braid on top to hide rough stitches and bulging fabric.
5. Now attach 4 thick ribbons or ropes to the product. Mentally divide the circle into 4 equal parts and sew at these points.
6. Sew ropes on top or tie with a strong knot.

IMPORTANT! The fabric for the seat must be very dense so that it can support the weight of a person. The hoop must be selected from durable steel.

Materials and tools

The manufacturing tool kit does not include any special devices. It's very simple, you will need:

• Very thick fabric, such as denim or cotton.
• Stainless steel hoop.
• 4 ropes or tapes for the hanging system.
• Scissors, a set of threads and needles. For speed, you can sew everything together on a sewing machine.

The process of making a frameless hammock

Another option is to make a structure without a frame. The simplest and easiest way to implement.

1. You will need fabric, one wooden beam (metal is more difficult to work with and you need to have a special tool).
2. Choose sizes according to your preferences and room dimensions.
3. Fold the fabric several times and sew on the machine.
4. Make holes along the edges for the ropes.
5. Thread the rope through the holes in the chair and specially prepared holes in the wooden beam.
6. Secure the structure with knots.
7. Now choose a place where you will hang your creativity. To do this, you will need some kind of hook or a strong tree branch in the yard. Tie the ends of the ropes in a knot to form a cross and hang.

Everything is ready, quickly and comfortably. A simple way to decorate your interior and please your loved ones.
