Required materials and tools

 To create a chair will need a variety of materials. Separate parts will be made of them. First of all, these are wooden blocks and boards, from which the frame, the seat and the back are assembled. Instead of natural solid wood, you can use chipboard or plywood, but these materials are short-lived. For fastening take screws-screws in sufficient quantities. You will need a medium hard sandpaper.

Sizes of bars (length):

• supporting legs - up to 20 cm;
• connecting strips of the seat frame - up to 20 cm;
• backrest jumper bars - up to 20 cm.

Handmade wooden high chair can be decorated to your liking.

In the manufacturing process for the legs, the thickest bars with a section of 5x5 cm are used. For the slats, take parts with a diameter of half smaller from the support ones.

For slats take parts with a diameter of half smaller from the support.

The parameters of the seat board (height and width) should also not exceed 20 cm. The dorsal part may be somewhat higher, but preferably not more than 30 cm.

We recommend discarding plastic products for two reasons:

• they are less durable;
• environmental friendliness of such products is not 100% proven.

Seat board parameters (height and width) - also should not exceed 20 cm.

To make a chair with your own hands, you need the right tools:

• screwdriver;

We determine the design and construction

For wood products, you can think of any option. Highchair is usually made with straight supports and the following forms of the dorsal structure:

• solid square or rectangular;
• wide truncated cone;
• straight through (with a jumper bar).

For neat application of the image you will need a stencil.

For the selected design solution details are processed in accordance with it.

Making a product with your own hands requires careful preparation. Beforehand, you must make a sketch of the project. Draw a clear diagram of the connections of all the parts separately with calculations of sections and lengths. Following the sketches, you will recreate the model in reality with exact parameters. The stool, where all the considered sizes are observed, will be “fit” for the baby, will not create inconvenience.

Certain models are created with the expectation of the child sitting at the table together with other family members. In this case, high legs are chosen for the product, which are fastened not exactly vertically with respect to the seat and floor, but more broadly. The lower part of such a chair will look like a truncated cone, connected for stability by wooden bars along the perimeter. The upper part will be about 30-35 cm below the level of the table.

Manufacturing process: step by step instructions

After preparing the drawing with the exact parameters, we begin to assemble a simple highchair.

1. Calculate the exact length of the legs, saw off the excess with a hacksaw.
2. Cut to size jumper-bars, which will fix the frame in the seat.
3. Connect them to the support structure. To enhance, add furniture glue.
4. Attach the pre-fitted back and seat with self-tapping screws.
5. All parts of the tree must be cleaned with sandpaper to avoid roughness and burrs.

The stool, where all the considered sizes are observed, will be “fit” for the baby, will not create inconvenience.

If the parts are disproportionate, “fit” them according to the design scheme with a hacksaw. So that the stool, created with your own hands, was comfortable, ask your baby to sit on it, ask how comfortable he is.

If all sizes were determined correctly, the child will like the new furniture. So that the details are smooth, once again walk sandpaper on the surface.

Certain models are created with the expectation of the child sitting at the table together with other family members.

For varnishing the product, use only safe formulations - a special coating for children's furniture that is environmentally friendly and has a corresponding certificate.

The upper part will be about 30-35 cm below the level of the table.

After the exterior varnish let the chair dry well for a day or two. Then you can proceed to the decoration, if any. If it consists in applying a thread, then varnishing is done after the completion of artistic processing and sanding parts.

Chair decoration

Use a jigsaw for threading. You can make a decoration in the form of a flower, cutting it in the center of the back, or any geometric shape. Previously on the site of the future decor, make the markup with a pencil to make the thread even. Parts such as the legs and back may be carved. The corners of the seat can be rounded with a jigsaw and pelt.

In the manufacturing process, the thickest bars with a section of 5x5 cm are used for the legs.

The top can also be made not strictly rectangular, but a truncated cone, rounded, composite. In the latter version, additional bars and cross strips will be needed - one or two. Secure them by special holes in the joints with the dorsal framework. This is quite a laborious process, but if you want, you can choose this option.

For fastening take screws-screws in sufficient quantities.

All actions on the processing of parts must be performed before the chair is assembled, so the process of work will be faster, more convenient and more accurate.

If you have certain skills, you can assemble a folding product.

To make a hand-made piece of children's furniture looked more interesting, you can put a picture on the back and seat. For this you need to use safe paints. The color scheme should be bright, cheerful. On the furniture made of wood look great simple patterns, floral patterns, imitation of children's toys, such as cars.

Instead of natural solid wood, you can use chipboard or plywood, but these materials are short-lived.

Due to the fact that the size of the product is small, large figure will become a kind of accent that attracts the attention of the child - he will like to sit on such a beautiful chair, play a game or have breakfast.

In decorating, you can use applications - there are plenty of adhesive bright films on sale.

First of all, these are wooden blocks and boards, from which the frame, the seat and the back are assembled.

In the decoration of the seat or back of the baby chair is not recommended to use the volume (protruding) parts, both small and large. Firstly, it is inconvenient for the child, and secondly - they quickly fall off with frequent use of the product.
