Materials Needed: 

Chipboard or sturdy cardboard 

Cotton padding or foam sheet 

Cardstock 

Fabric of your choice 

Scissors 

Craft knife 

Glue (preferably a strong adhesive) 

Ruler 

Pencil 

Needle and thread 

Optional: Decorative trim or embellishments 

Step-by-Step Guide: 

Gather Your Materials: Ensure you have all the necessary materials at hand. Choose chipboard or sturdy cardboard for the main structure of the chair. Cotton padding or foam sheet will provide comfort to the seat. Cardstock will be used for the chair back, while fabric will add the desired aesthetic appeal. 

Design and Cut the Chair Base: Using a ruler and pencil, carefully measure and mark the desired size and shape for the chair base on the chipboard. Round shapes work well for this project. Once you're satisfied with the design, use a craft knife to cut out the base, ensuring clean and precise edges. 

Prepare the Seat Cushion: Take a piece of cotton padding or foam sheet and cut it into a shape slightly smaller than the chair base. This will allow for a neat and snug fit. Glue the padding onto the chipboard base, ensuring it covers the entire surface. Trim any excess padding if necessary. 

Create the Chair Back: Measure and cut a piece of cardstock to the desired size and shape for the chair back. Consider adding decorative cutouts or patterns to enhance its visual appeal. Glue the cardstock onto the back of the chair base, ensuring it aligns properly. 

Upholster the Chair: Select a fabric that matches your dollhouse decor and cut a piece slightly larger than the chair base. Lay the fabric flat, place the chair base on top, and carefully fold the fabric over the edges, securing it with glue on the underside. Trim any excess fabric for a clean finish. 

Add Angled Legs: Measure and mark the desired leg length on the chipboard, taking into account the chair's overall height. Use a ruler and pencil to draw angled lines for the legs. Cut along these lines using a craft knife, ensuring the legs are identical in size and shape. 

Attach the Legs: Carefully glue the angled legs to the underside of the chair base. Make sure they are securely attached and aligned properly. Allow the glue to dry completely before moving on to the next step. 

Finishing Touches: If desired, add decorative trim or embellishments to further enhance the chair's appearance. Consider using small buttons, miniature tassels, or even a coat of paint to add a personal touch. Get creative and experiment with different ideas to make the chair uniquely yours.
