Tuumasta toimeen siis - tuolien runko on paksusta pahvista:
As I told you in my earlier post, I've been having trouble with making arm chairs. I was so frustrated, that the following couple of days were spent almost exclusively fiddling with armchairs - and swearing. I was determined not to let it go until I had made an armchair I was happy with. I got this excellent link via the Finnish FB-group: https://picasaweb.google.com/
So this is what I've been doing of late. The frame is made of thick cardboard:
Kirppareilta löytyi aikaa sitten tällasta kaunista kangasta, jonka arvelin olevan täydellistä huonekaluihin:
Ages ago I found this beautiful fabric at a fleamarket and thought it would be perfect for furniture:
Yritin kovasti saada kankaan tottelemaan, mutta se rispaantuu kovin herkästi. Täytynee jättää tää kangas odottamaan sitä, että mulla ois varaa hommata Fray Stayta, josko se auttais...
I tried very hard to get the fabric to work, but it frays very easily. It seems (no pun intended) that I'll have to set this fabric aside until I can afford to buy Fray Stay, which I suppose might help...
Vasemmalla viime postauksen tuoli, keskellä täysin epäonnistunut yritys yllämainitulla kankaalla ja oikealla kirpparilta löytynyt nojatuoli:
Far left one of the chairs from my previous posting, in the middle the utterly failed attempt to use the fabric mentioned above and far right a chair I found at the fleamarket:
Ja tässä viime päivien tuotokseni. Selvisi, että kuten FB-ryhmässä neuvottiin, hiukan venyvä kangas on helpoin työstettävä tällasessa projektissa. Eka vasemmalta meni ikävä kyllä vähän vinoon. Tuo lilasta sametista tehty luomus on aika söpö - yritin tehdä siihen rahinkin, mutta se oli ihan karmee... yritän myöhemmin uudemman kerran.Todella tyytyväinen oon oikeestaan tohon mustaan ja rivin viimeiseen vihreään tuoliin. Hip hei, onnistuin sittenkin! Pohdin vielä laitanko noihin jalkoja vaiko enkö - luulenpa, että olisivat liian korkeita jaloilla.
Here's a batch of better ones that I've made during the last couple of days. It turns out that, as I was told in the FB-group, fabric that stretches a bit is easiest to work with in a project like this. The first chair from the left is unfortunately a bit lopsided. The one made of lilac velvet is pretty cute - I tried to make a foot stool for it, but it was a disaster... will try again later. But I'm actually really pleased with the black chair and especially the green one on the far left. Hurray, I managed it at last! I'm still pondering whether to put legs on them - I fear they might be too high with legs.
Yksi tuoli on vielä telakalla, laitan kuvan jahka sen liimaukset kuivuu.
One more hair is still unfinished or rather I'm waiting for the glue to dry. Will post a pic when it's ready.
