You Will Need
-
Step 1Gather your materials.
-
Step 2Take a small kitchen sponge and cut an inch off the length.
-
Step 3Glue along the edge of the sponge to attach your "sofa" fabric.
-
Step 4We tried a "wavy" sponge for this tutorial, which is just a little bit more work, than the straight sponge. You just have to be sure to pull the fabric tightly against the waved edge
-
Step 5Wrap this piece and the larger piece in the fabric of your choice. Use fabric glue or a hot glue gun to attach the fabric, using straight pins to hold it in place while the glue dries. Wrap it like a present. Trim excess fabric so it isn't bulky and try to tuck in edges so it lies as flat as possible against the sponge
-
Step 6Glue the smaller sponge, onto the large sponge, making a back for the couch. (at this point, it was easy for the 4 & 6 year old to really get involved. Glue and hold is a good job for them!) Let it set a few minutes to dry.
-
Step 7We made feet out of wooden beads, stuck into the bottom of the sofa with straight pins and glue. Glue the feet onto the big sponge piece.
-
Step 8We added "Rick Rack" to this couch, If you use trim, you may want to use something that will cut with a neat edge, not something bulky and inclined to majorly unravel.
-
Step 9Let it dry and after a few hours it should be ready to add to the dollhouse!
