A small paper chair can be used as a decoration or toy in a homemade dollhouse. You can make this craft in 15–20 minutes.
To make it you only need a piece of paper or cardboard and a little patience.

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 is a very simple scheme for making a high chair, understandable to both adults and children.

Follow the strict sequence of actions:

• You need to take an ordinary sheet of paper in the shape of a square and fold it horizontally.
  The larger it is, the larger the chair will be. Accordingly, from a small piece you can make a very tiny product.
• Next, return the sheet to its original state and fold half the paper horizontally.
• Fold the other half of the sheet horizontally in the same way.
• We unfold the sheet and begin to fold it in the opposite direction.
• Carefully cut off one of the sides and bend the remaining part in half.
• We turn one corner so that we get a corner. We do the same with the other side.
• We direct the lower part upward.
• We wrap the side parts on each side. In configuration, they resemble the walls of a chair. The resulting product is already visible.
• We unfold the craft, straighten it and give it the outline of the desired product.

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 the lower part must be bent 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.

conclusions

In this simple way, after practicing on a chair, you can make a whole set of things for a dollhouse. To do this, you need inexpensive and readily available tools, such as cardboard, paper, scissors and glue. There are many proven simple schemes using the origam technique.And.

And such products will also be useful for adults as exclusive elements for the interior. You can use more expensive and beautiful paper to make small crafts. So, unique miniatures look beautiful. For example, it could be a table and two chairs. You can place small dishes on them.
