My daughter had been asking for a table and chairs set for her American Girl dolls to play with and last night she said that she dreamed that I made it for her, so I had to make it today.
I made a table big enough for four dolls and two chairs to start with.
Supplies:
Cardboard box the size of the table you want
Extra cardboard for the chairs
Shelf liner or any color, I used wood grained from the dollar store
Scissors
Box cutter or exacto knife
Packing clear tape
I started by cutting the bottom and sides of the box leaving the top and corners as the legs. I reinforced the top of the box with tape.
Next I used the extra pieces of cardboard to make a chair using the doll as a guide for size, I cut a rectangle and bent in half and reinforced with tape, next I cut notches on each side and made two small rectangle sides for the chair and cut slits for the notches or tabs to go through.
I assembled and reinforced with tape and covered everything with the wood grain shelf liner.
My daughter loves the set and later I will have to make more chairs.
