DIY Barbie Sofa from Cardboard | Couch Loveseat | Handmade Dollhouse Furniture Craft | 1:6 Scale

DIY Barbie couch made mostly from cardboard and sponges. I shortened the cushions before the last shots, but the process in making them was the same as in the video. I also ironed it a little after I assembled which kind of helped with the wrinkles but only temporarily. I was too lazy to iron the fabric bone straight first, and now I know better. I also should have stuffed lining to make it smoother around the cushions because the fabric was so thin the folds show through, and I should have made the couch sides a little deeper to account for the angled back. It's not quite as neat as I would like, but I set out to make a different style couch than I had before, and I'm generally content with it. Crafting is a learning experience, and the more try, the better we'll get at it.

I can't draw. But you've given me so many great ideas! Thank you!

[@e.d.t.]

Thanks, and you're welcome. I don't think people need to be able to draw to make crafts, but sketching first helps me better determine the sizes and details.

Nice, I never would of know you made it out of cardboard.

[@djavan]

Do you think you can make a fold out bed version of this?

[@e.d.t.]

Next time I make a couch I'll keep that in mind. Or since the cushions are removable, I might be able to do an alternate seat for this couch that can fold out.

[@djavan]

@@e.d.t. that would awesome! The silhouette you made reminded me of the Barbie sweet Rose's coach that turns in to a bed. That's why I asked haha! But, I love this I might make it.

[@e.d.t.]

@@djavan I just looked up the sofa bed set. I see what you mean, with shape of the arms. Sweet Roses was a nice collection. My sister and I used to have the beauty bath.

[@meliabreuo99]

I love your whole style. All of your pieces are like cohesive, but yet classical and stylish. Also the word timeless comes to mind when I look at all of your projects you have a certain je ne sais quoi as they say.❤ and on top of that, I always feel so motivated after watching your videos

[@e.d.t.]

Thank you so much 😊 I guess I do lean more towards old fashioned styles. I think they have a certain charm and that inspires me to try to make these types of things for dolls. I'm glad you like the crafts and that they help you feel motivated. There's so much we can make out of simple materials.

[@tiffanybuie2263]

☝️😲🧵🪡🛋❗️ As a professional upholsterer, I can confirm that this is E̳x̳a̳c̳t̳l̳y̳ how we make our sofas. First we make them small, then we put them in the grow-matic machine and blow it up to human size. 😮
