Saw off excess on the planned lines.
All parts are connected with screws and well glue.
Then proceed to the creation of folding parts. Make 2 frames from the bars along the width and length of the seat. Attach sheets of plywood to them.
Connect the frames with long loops.
To make the chair fold out smoothly, use a metal transformation mechanism — attach steel contours with through hinges on the sides.

From the fabrics used for decoration, look good tapestries. If you want to make the upholstery softer to the touch, choose materials with a nap like artificial velvet.
Such material, moreover, is stronger and more durable.
It is better to sew appliques before the upholstery process.So that they are neat, prepare in advance stencils and shreds of different colors, matched to the tone or contrasting with the main gamut.
At the frame-type folding chair, the front legs, which not all models retract, can be made carved or metal.
