This was the project that started everything for me. My daughters had been asking for a table a chair set for Christmas for their dolls. Two weeks before Christmas, I realized that I did not purchase one. Being that I had already spent our Christmas budget, I started looking up ideas to make furniture for their dolls. I found some great sites, like Karen Mom of Three's Craft Blog and Doll Diaries, and got to work on this table and chair set. I was so proud of it, that I decided to keep making more items for my daughters' dolls.
Items needed:
Box for table top: 10" x 7"
Box for table leg: 6 1/2" Tall (I used a gift box.)
2 Boxes for chair seats: 7"x4" (I used Christmas light boxes.)
2 Large egg cartons
Duck Tape
Scissors
Scotch Tape or Packing tape
Getting to Work:
Step 1: Use the Scotch tape or packing tape to tape the flaps of boxes and egg cartons shut.
Step 2: Table construction. Using duck tape, secure the box for the table leg to the box for the table top. I used silver duck tape. I started with one layer to tape the two boxes together. Then I continued using the silver duck tape to cover the entire table leg and the middle of the table top. I used pink duck tape to cover the ends of the table top.
Step 3: Chair construction. First, I covered the entire egg carton in silver duck tape. Then I connected the egg carton and the box for the seat using the silver duck tape. I wrapped the silver duck tape about 4 times around the egg carton and box while pushing them firmly together. To finish, I covered the sides and top seat area of the box with pink duck tape to match the table.
Step 4: Repeat with second chair.
