Expert Answer

Get a couple of books, they teach you the basic folds, learning valley folds, learning mountain folds, working on your hand coordination skills, and being precise. You want to take your time. Try to be as accurate as possible with the instructions. It's a good idea to watch videos in conjunction with reading books because you could get more information and see someone folding.

What if you don't have 6-inch paper?

Community Answer

Use normal A4 paper and measure it with a ruler to 6 inches. Cut or fold it.

Question

How do I build a life size one? Do I do the same thing?

Community Answer

Yep, just more paper, more patience, and more people. It will be considerably harder and you'll need very large pieces of paper.

Tips

Fold the seat to meet the bottom edge of the seat and than fold it again to meet the middle crease to transform it into a desk with a back wall. Add a mirror to transform it into a vanity!

To make it into a furniture piece for a doll, just put some cardboard on it and paint it so it's sturdy.

You can make it into a furniture piece for a doll, but if you do, make it a comfy one! Add a small pillow, some chair covers and put it in your doll's bedroom, living room, or patio! A possible idea would be to add your chair to the mini swimming pool area.

Tips from our Readers

The advice in this section is based on the lived experiences of wikiHow readers like you. If you have a helpful tip you’d like to share on wikiHow, please submit it in the field below.

If the seating area is not sticking properly, then glue one strip of paper beneath the seating area to join the seat and wall properly.
If you use glue, use a glue stick because it's easier to put on paper without it spreading like liquid glue.
If you know how to make a box, you could put on a few toothpicks for legs and make chairs that way!
