Miniature Farmhouse Chair Tutorial

Hello Mini Lovers!!  Today I am sharing a miniature farmhouse chair that I made.  I know chairs can be easily purchased and painted but isn't is more fun to say "I made that"?!?!

I made this chair from premade spindles purchased from Etsy, toothpicks, a piece of balsa wood for the back and a piece of heavier craft wood (can't remember the name lol) for the seat.

I don't use fancy tools.  Mainly to cut wood I use an exacto knife or kitchen shears.  To sand I use a fingernail file or sandpaper.  I also like to use a little fingernail kit that I've had for years.

I sanded the leg ends at an angle then glued onto the bottom and two on the back.  These usually come in a pack of eight and I always save the parts I didn't use.  They come in handy for other projects.

I painted some brown splotches over the chair where I wanted chippy paint to look old.  I painted school glue over the brown and then painted white paint.  Don't let the glue dry before you do this part.  As it dries the white paint will crack exposing the brown paint underneath.
