Are you ready for some Golden Girls crafts? You’ll need toothpics and glue and some other household items to make these adorable Chippendale Chairs that were featured in the kitchen where they had oh so many cheesecakes. You can make these chairs for either your 8” figures or 12” dolls (both templates included). They are very easy to make with things you probably already have, so no need to go to the craft store. After you finish, take a picture and tag me so I can share it in my stories. Have fun and don’t forget to follow and like for more awesome projects coming soon.

Supplies

Toothpicks
Wood Glue or Craft Glue
Wax paper(translucent)
Hand saw or Craft Knife
Ruler
Tape
Sand paper or Emery board
Foam board
Paint

Step 1: Print the Templates

Download the template PDF and print the size that works for your dolls. It is available in 1:8.5 scale and 1:12 scale.

Step 2: Start

Tape the template to a sturdy work surface and tape a sheet of translucent wax paper or parchment paper on top of it to protect it.

Place a toothpick on one of the sides of the chair template and

Step 3: Cutting Wood

Cut the toothpick on your marks using a hand saw and sand the edges for a nice finish.

Repeat step 3 for all sides of the chair.

Step 4: Measuring Pieces

Place a very small dot of wood glue on the parchment paper where two pieces meet. Place the toothpicks on the joint so they stick to the paper.

Make the frame of the chair first and glue it down on the parchment paper.

Step 5: Building the Design

Start on the interior pieces the same way, placing a toothpick on top of the template and marking where the cuts should be. Most of the interior pieces require angled cuts so mark them accordingly and saw at the angle to give a nice flush joint.
