Comfy chair from the Gryffindor common room in miniature Harry Potter

This big squashy chair is what I would imagine in the common room even if it wasn't in the movies! First of all, this chair was not made with individual parts apholsterd then glued together. That would probably make it look better, but I worry the glue just on the fabric won't hold the chair together.  Here is a cardstock pattern, and foam board seat and back glued together. As you can see, I made a blue chair to see if the pattern looks right and give me practice before I try to make one with the burgundy fabric.



Really liking this weldbond glue. A piece of dowel is cut for the top of the chair back and glued on.



Two more dowels for the arm rests.



Using an old oven mitt, the batting inside is glued down as padding. The green cardstock pieces look good for the size of the arm panel.



First covering of tiny pieces on the chair.




Padding the seat, trying to make it worn and lumpy.



Final covering of fabric. This fabric, although the perfect colour, was a little thick and hard to work with. When choosing fabric for chairs, I recommend choosing light fabrics. I used fabric tape.



 Starting to come together!



Making legs for the comfy chair. I chose wooden beads and nails for the back. The front has casters and wooden beads. to attach, straight pins and glue will be used.












Using E6000 glue.







Last step is painting the beads.



On to the next chair!
