So, if you’re like me and need to make one of these chairs and you have everything except the quilt batting- and the thought of going to the craft store AGAIN makes you want to punch things- then I am here to tell you that three or four layers of paper towel glued to the sides and back works just as well!! (Who’s gonna know??) For the chair seat, I used a kitchen sponge (clean, I’m not a sadist) cut down to size for the chair seat. Just a helpful tip!!
Exactly, i was also thinking to use kitchen sponge. What a coincidence 🤭
That's a great idea - using foam from a new sponge. You can also use felt instead of quilt batting to cover the foam board. I made Ara's little chair out of thick cardboard and then covered it with felt, using only the tacky glue (I never have much luck with hot glue!!) And then I did the rest of it by following Ara's instructions, and it turned out well. It's a good idea to look at what you already have around the house before you buy anything. Love from Amanda Jones in Australia
I copied the pieces at 200% on my copier and made a small chair out of 1 1/2 inch pink insulating foam for my soon to be 2 year old granddaughter. Turned out fabulous. Thanks Ara.
That's awesome! I have often thought of doing something like that too just to see if its possible! Good to know that it is!
Love! Thank you for the template. I fabric the loose pieces then glue it all together at the end.
Starting my dollhouse renovation soon. I'm saving this as this is exactly the kind of chair I'd like to have in the living room. Thanks!
This is a lovely little make! Can’t wait to try it xxxxxx
Loved how you showed us step by step with alot of patience!!!! Thank u
I'm grateful for your instructions and patterns. Thank you so much.
Just watched this about 187 times making the chair and it was super worth it! Thank you!!
Thank you! I built one today by following your instructions. It wasn't perfect but came out really good!
This is awesome! I've been looking at how to try and upcycle plastic dollhouse furniture and make it look more realistic by adding fabric. This is a great tutorial!
just found this, I love it, the first one turned out perfect thanks to your easy to follow instructions, looking forward to seeing more of what you create
Thank you Ara. I just made the chair and found out it's not as easy as it looks when you do it. I am new to this craft, but the chair turned out great. I am really happy with it and now will be making the ottoman to match. Thanks again for your great videos, I had no idea I wanted to do miniatures until I came across your wonderful channel.
I love love how you make everything looks so great with just some cheap supplies. thank you so much.
So glad you enjoyed the video! I think minis are more fun when they don't always cost a fortune ;)
Fabulous & such lovely fabrics too, Ara. Thanks for making a DIY minis tutorial that's well-explained & super-easy without sacrificing style.
Thank you Joanne! It's always good to hear that my tutorials came out coherent!! So glad you enjoyed!
This is a great tutorial! I have been looking for living room furniture with great fabric, and this is the solution! Thanks so much!
This tutorial is INCREDIBLE! I just made one a little smaller than 1:24 scale and it's so stinkin' cute!
Thanks Ara, that was a really fun video. Your chair turned out perfectly and you made it seem so easy. I love your choice of fabric too :)
I am so glad you enjoyed it!!! I hope it is easy!! That's also why I wanted to include a template so anyone who wants to try it has a starting point :) Thank you
Thank you. You have mentioned very nicely. And thanks for the template you provided to print. Loved the video. Thanks again.
I hope this is as easy as you make it look. I really appreciate the free download. Also love your videos. Your instructions are so good!
You’ve explained this so very well, seriously the best tutorial I’ve seen regarding diy dollhouse armchair ☺️ well done and thank you!
Thank you! I am so glad you found it helpful!
Great tutorial! It took my friend, Nancy @littletreasuresbynancy 4 hours on our livestream to make her first one but she was so determined to use PLAID fabric that getting the pattern lined up was all part the challenge! Her chair turned out so cute!
Thank you!! I need to go check out her live stream and say hi! Lining of lines of any fabric will definitely take some time! ;)
Thank you so much for this. I followed along with your instructions at 1/6 scale and I just couldn't believe what I achieved...wow! So now I'm in the process of making a three seater couch to match plus another single seater. I have copied your templates onto cardboard so they will last longer.
Thanks for sharing on how to make this chair. Also for sharing the template for it will definitely be giving it a try! More videos like this please.
Susan Pizzio so glad you enjoyed! Let me know how the template and tutorial work for you!
So cute! This is an EXCELLENT tutorial!! I followed along with ease and made a chair for my house. Turned out well. I used medium sized wood beads for the legs- a little different but it works! Thank you!
Fantastic!! If you share it on instagram be sure to tag me! I'd love to see!
Wow just wow!!! Love it.
Fabulous and easy(ish) tutorial. Thank you.
I worked all weekend trying to make an upholstered chair for an American Girl Doll....your video did the trick! Thank you thank you
I have used this pattern a lot. This weekend I shrunk it down to make quarter scale and it still worked great! Thanks for all you do!
I saw your post! They look so cool and I am so glad this pattern has been so helpful!
Thank you for making this so simple. Im going to make this then try to change the template a little to make some art deco and mid century pieces. I love your videos. Thank you!
I find it to be really easy to adapt and I hope it works well for you!! Thank you for the kind words
Lots of other techniques out there..... I keep coming back to this one. Easy to follow. Clean, crisp finish. ❤👍

I would love to see a round tufted ottoman, with fringe, but for a 1/4 size BJD. I love how you make your projects understandable. I can’t wait to try this chair in a 1/4 size
Thank you for teaching me something great ! You are awesome !
Thank you so much for the template and the tutorial! Great job!
thank you very much for your demonstration.....amazing....MD.ALBAN,Tamer from Turkey....
Just discovered your wonderful channel. I made a lounge suite very similar to this years ago and upholstered it with a stretch velvet material. It made doing the curves very easy and looked amazing.
Welcome to the channel! Thank you I love trying out new materials!
Your videos are really helpful for me to make props for miniature set for my video production business. Thanks a lot.
You make it look so easy! Brilliant ❤❤
I love everything you do! Thanks for the free template. I'm starting on mine this week!
You are so welcome and have fun crafting!!❤❤
That was very impressive! Thank you!!!
Thank you for this tutorial and pattern! I was searching all over the internet for an armchair for a doll that wasn't a standard size, but with the downloadable template, I can make the chair to fit her! I'm so excited and inspired to get to work :)
Les découpes sont faites ds quelle matière.
WOW- This 'tute' is awesome. Beautifully demonstrated. I want to make some of these for my twp Gr8 grand daughters, they are too small to play with them at this time...but my daughter-their Gramma- will save them forthe girls until they can. I'll watch down from heaven. Thank you kindly for sharing.
I am so glad to hear it will be helpful for you. I have a piece of dollhouse furniture that was my grandmothers and it is my dearest treasure. I know they will appreciate your hard work for them💕💕
Thank you so much! What a great tutorial! Especially for me, someone with absolutely NO experience in creating miniatures; this video makes me feel that I can do it and accomplish what I set out to do. Subscribing, most definitely!
Thank you and welcome to the channel! Happy creating!
Lovely! Thank you so much for the tutorial and pattern! 💕
You’re welcome 😊
Just awesome and saves so much money making yourself thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing. My cousin had a Doll House Shope and made beautiful commissioned mansions. When he was in Florida, Disney wanted to commission him to make a miniature Disney Land. He had to turn them down as he was getting older and it would require him to live forever. lol. lI have worked with materials for most of my life and would love to make this chair. I love this vintage wing backs and I am sitting in one right now. Thank for the download. Hugs. Oh, by the way, I am vintage also.
Wow thats an amazing story but I understand that would have been a HUGE undertaking! I hope you have fun trying out the chair tutorial. Several people have said it worked well for them :)
Such a cute chair, such an easy tutorial!!! Thanks!!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
I'm looking to see how you upholstered this as I have a half scale one that I am having heaps of trouble with! This is perfect!
Thanks Joanne..made a 144th scale dollhouse for my 1:12th dollhouse nursery..so cute...got the house full of furniture from a miniaturist club I belonged to...wish I could send you a photo. Trish😍

Thank you so much! Great tutorial! So easy to understand.
I couldn't get my template to come out to 1" on the line scale, but mine doesn't have to be exact. Would love to know how everyone else was able to get it to measure 1". (Not too tech savvy here)
You are so creative! I love your tutorial thank you so much... I’m making a mini library project (ornament inside a lantern) for my library and I will use your idea thanks again 🤗😙
