I had made a couch similar to this a long time ago. It was fake fur covering empty cigarette boxes. I thought I would try to cover empty cigarette boxes with Duct Tape and see if I could make a similar couch. I had to first find people who use cigarettes and have them collect the boxes for me. When I asked people to keep the boxes, I was asked “what for” I said “to make a Barbie chair” to which I got a lot more questions and myself making promises to send a photo when the chair is done.
I first filled the empty boxes with about half a newspaper page to make the boxes less likely to collapse under Barbie’s weight (ha ha, how silly).
I completely covered the boxes with Duct Tape. For the back portion of the chair I put two boxes together side by side and covered them up as to not have a seam in the middle. I have the seat part approximately halfway out from the box underneath to serve as a base.
I felt like I was playing 3D Tetris putting the chair together. Sabrina is really fond of the chair and is using it already.
