How to make a comfortable sofa from available tools

It's actually not that difficult, the main difficulty is having ideas. And here our article will come to your aid.

The most basic thing to start with is the selection of material. To do this, you just need to carefully examine all the junk you have lying on the balcony, or in the garage, or somewhere else where people store any unnecessary junk that is a pity to throw away.

And the main thing that we need to choose, "corner". Since we want to make a sofa, we need a thing that will reliably hold the back and the base-seat at a given angle. And making such a structure by hand is more difficult than the rest of the sofa. Therefore, we will try to find. But if you don’t find we will make it ourselves, but more on that later.

Armchair

And so the most suitable parts for making a sofa are old, unnecessary furniture. A chair is perfect for you. Armchair by design, almost ready-made sofa. From the chair you just need to take the "sidewalls", whole side parts with armrests. And increase the pillow and back. You can simply cut the boards or timber to the size you need and attach to the sidewalls with self-tapping screws, but it is unlikely that you have boards and timber. Then pay attention to the old, unnecessary chipboard sheets. These can be outdated instruction stands, billboards, etc. You can use metal structures, provided that there is a tool for working with them.

Chairs

If there is no chair, it doesn't matter. Chairs are great. They have no sidewalls, but they have backs. You just need to fasten the chairs together and cover the seat and back with something. The almost finished sofa emerges from the rows of reception chairs.

Bunk bed

Great because it has guides for the main parts of the structure, namely the racks for the second tier. They only need to be cut to the desired size and attached to them the very back and armrests.

If there are no suitable structures, you can use boxes, pallets, bookshelves. Everything that comes to hand. The main thing that is needed in this business is fantasy. And if you were able to make a stool at school, you can also make a sofa.

Soft

Most likely, you want a soft sofa. We notice everything that is soft that we see. First of all, we are looking for foam rubber and synthetic winterizer. This goodness is found in the stuffing of armchairs, beds, pillows, stuffed toys, winter clothes and God knows where else. It will be ideal if there is a mattress or a mattress, and preferably two, then the issue will be resolved immediately.

Coating

First of all, of course, you should pay attention to things with a larger area, there will be less work. Namely: carpets, bedspreads, rugs, blankets, towels, tents, etc. My favorite way is the case. It's just that the edge of the material is bent and the elastic is sewn into it. Everything fits snugly enough and is very convenient to use, easy to remove and wash.

You can secure parts in many different ways. Naturally, if you own welding, it is better to weld, but a wooden structure on self-tapping screws will be no worse. If there is no such luxury, scotch tape and electrical tape will do. A larger footage of electrical tape holds not much worse than welding. You can even use wires for this purpose, which are often in bulk in garages.
