Handmade Backrest Office Chair

There are mainly two methods for making handmade backrest office chairs: the paper-folding method and the disposable round chopstick method.

Paper-Folding Method

This is a relatively simple and fun way to make a chair, mainly using a single square piece of paper. First, fold the top and bottom edges of the square paper to align them, then fold them towards the center line, press out the creases, and open the paper entirely. Next, flip the paper over and fold the corners inward along the creases. After that, fold the paper downward along the center line, press out the creases again, and then fold it upward and tuck the corners into the gaps to secure them. Through these steps, you can create a three-dimensional and interesting backrest chair. The advantage of this method is that the materials are simple and easy to obtain, requiring only a single piece of paper, and the process is relatively relaxed, suitable for children or beginners in handicrafts to try, helping to develop their hands-on skills and spatial imagination. However, the backrest office chair made by paper-folding is small in size and can only be used as a decoration or toy, not suitable for actual office use.

Disposable Round Chopstick Method

This method is relatively complex, but the chair produced is closer to a real office chair. First, cut out 12 disposable chopsticks that are 5cm long and use glue to stick two chopsticks on each side to form the seat. Next, cut out chopsticks that are 4.5cm, 2cm, and of an appropriate length (the original information of 25cm may be incorrect and needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation), and stick them at the front and the other end below, cutting the ends diagonally and sticking them inward to create two such components and stick them on both sides of the seat. Then, make the backrest by sticking long chopsticks at the top of the backrest and then diagonally sticking them to the back of the stool. After that, stick chopsticks in the middle as supports, stick chopsticks at the four corners, roll up a piece of paper that is 1.5cm wide to allow the chopsticks to move freely, pull out the chopsticks, stick double-sided tape, cut seven 1.5cm chopsticks and stick them on top to secure them, and then stick them to the bottom of the chair. Finally, put in the footrest, and a rotating backrest office chair is completed. The chair made by this method is relatively sturdy and can bear a certain amount of weight, closer to the function and appearance of an actual office chair. However, the production process requires patience and handicraft skills, and it is necessary to prepare more materials and tools.
