Props 1/3 Chaise lounge

Nov 3, 2021

    1. I decided my boy needed a chaise lounge to flop dramatically on. I forgot to take any progress photos, but it's a lot of cardboard, eva foam, cushion foam, hotglue, velvet, and hand-sewing.

    2. That is amazing! How did you design it? And make the spiral part? If you make a tutorial someday, I will attempt to follow it!

    3. When you became a doll owner did you ever envision it would branch out to furniture and upholstery?

    5. Thank you! Honestly I looked at photos of lounges and did a few measurements for how large I wanted it to be to fit my doll, but mostly I just kind of winged it. The spiral part is layers of eva foam that I sandwitched a wire armature inside. Then I put fabric over it and rolled it up, gluing it into place as I went. I sewed the spiral together on the back side, but deiced the front looked better not sewn and it seems to be staying okay.

      If I make another I'll definitely do an actual tutorial!

    6. I figured I'd be making clothes since I make costumes for humans already, but I didn't expect the furniture! I'm curious what I'll end up making in the long run
       
    7. Perhaps dioramas? Wigs, eyes, shoes, firearms or maybe chainmail armour.

    8. I've been shopping for affordable furny, but no luck with added shipping costs.
      I think the quality will be better handmade, anyway. Thanks for proving the point, hehe!

    12. Hey sorry I haven't been on! The book is just a commercial tiny book of Shakespearean insults (from Running Press, apparently.) He also has a tiny Poe collection, there's a lot of decently 1/3+ scale books in the... tiny quote book section of bookstores? I think that falls under novelties/gifts.
