• Next, we assemble the “pattern” of the product.
• On the top side of the “pattern” we cut out the corners. The corners will resemble pointed ice floes, as in the fairy tale about the Snow Queen.
• Additionally, you can cut out patterns inside the top of the “pattern”.
• We glue all the pieces of cardboard together and put them on the chair.
• Next, we decorate the back using white wallpaper, cutting out the patterns prepared in advance.
• We glue the back of the product with tape to the chair.
• We decorate the product with tinsel, rain or colored paper. Additionally, you can glue snowflakes or sparkles.

REFERENCE! Glitter paints or acrylics also work well to decorate the back of the throne.

You can also consider another decoration option, a more complex one.It will take about three days to make it, but the result itself will exceed all expectations if you do everything according to the instructions. In this example, we use a regular wooden chair without upholstery. Follow the following sequence of actions:

• We sand the chair with medium-hard sandpaper.
• Fill the holes from the screws if they are visible.
• Prime the surface of the furniture. For simplicity, you can use a diluted solution of PVA glue.
• When the solution has dried, cover the chair with dark brown enamel.
• After the enamel has dried, rub it with wax.
• Next, we cover the surface with two more layers of white enamel.
• We decorate the chair using stencils. You can, for example, use roses or any other flowers. The paint color can also be chosen to suit every taste. Absolutely any color looks beautiful on a white background.
• The final touch is to varnish the chair. Now it looks like a real throne.
