Calico Critter Furniture
This kind of furniture is so easy to make, there's really no need to buy stuff like this for the critters.
Come take a look see
You can make just about any combination you want, here I made a double, single and baby bed.
All you need is
Cardboard
Fabric
Stuffing (even cotton-balls work)
Hot-glue gun
Here's the steps of making a couch and chair.
When you cut your cardboard, make sure you measure them back and seat the same size and the two ends the same as well. You may want a Critter to give you an idea of how deep you want the seat so they sit nicely without falling off.
It's nice to put stuffing on the seat and back, the ends are optional.
If you don't have stuffing, you can still make these, they'll just come out flatter.
Once you hot glue the fabric on, folding it over...
You'll then hot glue your furniture pieces together.
The ends to the seat first, then add your back.
Feet are optional. I used wooden beads. Wooden blocks work too, or some other kind of bead.
The chair is the same idea. I only used stuffing on the back and seat.
Folded the fabric over tightly and hot glue in place, then hot glue your pieces together.
And you have a chair and couch for Calico Critters. Just like that!
I've made beds before, but never a bunk bed, but it turned out alright.
Four cardboard's, all the same size, two for the beds with stuffing, and two for the ends.
Tightly fold over fabric and hot glue in place.
Four pieces all covered, now for assembling.
I glued the bottom on first and then the top...
...adding craft sticks just to strengthen the bed so it doesn't wobble.
you can add more if needed. Or even a large cardboard covered in fabric for the backing.
For a double bed, stuffing on the bottom, and one head-board.
You can also do a head-board and a foot-board if so desired, I have done that.
There you go, the only thing left to do is make pillows and blankets!
Happy Crafting
