Self-Made Office Chair
If you want to make an office chair yourself, you can refer to the following methods:
Simple DIY Folding Chair
First, prepare a piece of woodworking board of the appropriate size, which is the basic material for making the chair. Stick decorative paper on the surface of the woodworking board. The decorative paper not only serves a decorative purpose but also makes it easier to draw the required patterns later. Cut according to the designed pattern. After cutting, use sandpaper to smooth the cut edges to avoid scratching the skin during use. Then, assemble the sanded woodworking boards together. Use a hole punch to make small circular holes at appropriate positions and install hinges. The hinges allow the chair to fold. Flip the seat and continue to install hinges for fixation to ensure the stability of the chair structure. After that, open the chair, find the support points and mark them. Use tools to make two corner holes so that the chair can fit snugly inside when unfolded, forming a stable support structure. The folding chair made by this method has a relatively simple structure and low cost, suitable for people who have relatively low requirements for the chair's functions and have certain hands-on skills.
Cardboard Table and Chair DIY
First, draw two circles and two sectors on the cardboard, which are the basic shapes for making the seat cushion and backrest. After drawing, cut them out. Fold the tissue paper multiple times and cut it according to the size of the cardboard. Then, stick it on the cardboard. This step can increase the softness and comfort of the chair. Wrap the cardboard with patterned fabric to make the chair look more beautiful. Cut appropriate fabric pieces, stick them with glue, and trim them to make the edges neat. Finally, assemble the seat cushion and backrest together. Stick four matches under the seat cushion to provide some support. However, the load-bearing capacity of cardboard tables and chairs is limited, suitable for children to use or as temporary seats.
30-Yuan DIY Lambswool Office Chair
Prepare materials such as lambswool fabric (1*1.6m), hook-and-loop tape (2m), needles, thread, and scissors. First, cut the lambswool fabric according to the size of the chair back and sew it into a bag from the reverse side. After sewing, turn it over and put it on the chair back to ensure the beauty of the chair back. Wrap the chair seat with the fabric, making the size slightly larger and leaving a 3 - 4cm edge. After wrapping it to the reverse side of the chair, stick each edge with hook-and-loop tape for easy disassembly and cleaning. Fold the excess fabric at the four corners, cut off the extra parts, and then sew them with a needle and thread to make the chair look neater. The office chair made by this method has high comfort, a relatively fashionable appearance, and low cost.
