I told y'all I'd be building furniture, and here's the first piece. I've begun to construct a couch. I went to Michaels and I bought a basswood kit thingy that just has a bunch of random piece of wood in it. I also purchased some things of cloth. They aren't very large, but it's perfect for what I need them for. It's also a nice way to get a bunch of different patterns without having to buy a whole yard of cloth.
So I measured out what I thought would be a good size for three cushion couch and I glued it together.After the glue dried, I removed the tape, and then added more glue to put on the fabric covering. This part was a little hard, and I actually had to redo it because I messed up the first time.
There were no directions to not follow!
After all of that I had to make my cushions. The foam I purchased is like... waaay to thick, so I had to slice it in half lengthwise before I could shape them info my cushions. This was actually my second attempt because I messed the first one up on that too. This is what happens when you eyeballs stuff. You have to keep redoing it.Either way, this is where I stopped because it was getting kind of late and I've apparently turned into an old lady and can't stay up late anymore. It's also because I get up at the butt crack of dawn.
