Skinny Stick Chair Tutorial - Sun, 01/09/2011 — Meddatron

First up a 1:18th scale chair.

Materials
Skinny sticks (popsicle sticks)
Hot melt glue gun
Paint

1st step will be marking our lenghts. take 2 sticks and mark at 2 1/2” and at 4”. now mark on one side dots at 2/16” after each line. connect on an angle. cut all angle lines on both sticks. Mark and cut another stick at 1 inch intervals. will need two more additional 1” from another stick.

Next step you need to glue the 2 1/2” sticks and the 1 1/2” sticks in an x formation. make sure you glue them opposite of each other.

We now need to connect the two sides. I glued a 1” crossbar under the x and at the very top of chairback. see pic

Now we need to glue our four 1” sticks together with a 5th 1” across them too hold them(center it). see pic. That will be our seat. Add as many more cross bars across the chair back as you see fit for style. I used only one more.

All that is needed now is to glue the seat on and paint.

hope this helps someone.
