A kitchen table and chairs are essentials for dollhouse furniture.
Dollhouses are a staple in a young child's life. Whether it is a large wooden dollhouse or one they created using shoe boxes and tape, every little girl has a house for her dolls. Wood furniture built for the wooden dollhouse is a project that takes time. All pieces are built basically the same way. A kitchen table and a coffee table have the same pattern. Just as a dresser and TV cabinet have the same pattern. The amount of furniture made depends on the builder.
Instructions
Tables
1. The under-base makes the table sturdy.
Create a pattern by drawing a rectangle 3 inches by 2 inches. Draw two sets of thin rectangles, one set the length of the table and one set the width and both sets a quarter inch wide. These are the under-base of the table. Draw four rectangles 2 inches long and a quarter inch wide; these are the legs.
2. Trace the patterns onto the plywood.
3. Cut these shapes out with the saw. Use the Dremel tool to smooth the edges and sand for extra care.
4. Glue the under-base to the bottom edges of the table and glue the legs into the inside corners of this base. Allow to set for 24 hours.
5. A round table is made the same way.
Decorate as desired and adjust pattern size for other house tables, such as coffee table and end tables.
Chairs
6. Wooden chairs are easy to make with different designs.
Create a pattern by drawing a square 1 inch by 1 inch with a 1/4-inch notch on each of the ends of one side. Draw four thin rectangles, each 1 inch long and a quarter inch wide. These are the under-base of the chair. Draw four rectangles 1 1/2 inches long and a quarter inch wide, these are the legs. Draw one rectangle 2 inches long and 1 inch wide with a 1/2-inch notch in the middle of one 1-inch end.
7. Trace the patterns onto the plywood. Repeat for as many chairs as desired.
8. Cut these shapes out with a saw. Use the Dremel tool to smooth the edges and sand for extra care.
9. Glue the under-base to the chair seat, the 1-by-1 inch piece. Glue the legs to the inside edges of the under-base and glue the back rectangle on by fitting it in the notches. Allow it to set for 24 hours. Repeat for all chairs.
10. A rocking chair is made with bowed wood attached to the legs.
Decorate as desired and adjust pattern size for other house chairs such as desk chairs and living room seats.
