With the arrival of a child in the home, parents have to buy a lot of new things, including children's clothes furniture, but the prices are considerable, and the quality leaves much to be desired.
For a person who knows how to work with wood, it will not be difficult to make something comfortable, durable, and most importantly, safe for your baby. high chair.
Homemade children's high chairs come in different varieties. This article talks about the technology of making a chair combined designs.
For making a nursery furniture will fit wood coniferous species - spruce or pine, it is soft, durable, easy to process, pleasant to look at and inexpensive.
To protect the child from injury and splinters, all parts must be handle sandpaper.
Carpentry will also be needed tools, nails, hinges, varnish or paint for finishing coating finished product.
In this case, it is better to take paints acrylic base, and the varnishes are exclusively non-toxic, because the baby will breathe them, and Maybe- even try it on the tooth.
The child begins to eat common table from about 6 months, but, naturally, he cannot sit with the others.
For comfort were invented various designs, in which you can put your baby, without fear that he will fall:
To complete the combined design of a children's highchair, we will come in handy:
Note! To ensure a beautiful and even chair for feeding a child, the dimensions of the parts must correspond to the drawing of its design.
To make a stand-table you will need to prepare the following parts:
It is not necessary to buy all the material; you can partially use what is available on the farm wooden boards and trimmings, adjusting them to the required dimensions.
timber sawed according to specified sizes. Its individual pieces are processed (sanded) with sandpaper, thanks to which all irregularities and scratches are removed from the surface of the wood, so that in the future the child will not drive splinters into the wood.
It is better to connect the bars using wooden dowels(connecting elements), you can make them yourself by cutting out blocks of size 10x20x50, or buy ready spikes in a furniture fittings store.
Advice! If you don’t have the time or desire to tinker with dowels, you can simply connect the parts using self-tapping screws.
In the bars themselves and the board at the attachment points you need to cut or drill holes, suitable for the size of the dowels (approximately deep 30-40 mm), being careful not to hole the tree all the way through.
The future chair will have two sidewalls, for each you will need 2 roundings, By 2 top and bottom slats And two legs. Each side panel is assembled apart, first the legs and the lower crossbar are connected, the curves are attached separately to the upper crossbar, after which these two elements stick together together.
Before connecting two bars, the connection point and dowels are well miss the mark glue, you can even use regular glue PVA. The second side panel is assembled in the same way, then these parts need to be left for a day let it dry and then sand it again.
Attention! During the assembly process, you need to ensure that the angles between the bars are straight and the sidewalls are completely identical.
Chipboard cut into 6 rectangles 300x250 mm, each has two adjacent corners rounded along the long side. To secure baby, all edges need to be carefully sand, and then glue the plates together three pieces and put them under a press for a day. The result is a solid, durable back and seat.
Finished parts They are fastened together with a corner or a strip of metal bent lengthwise, and screwed with screws.
Sidewalls They are connected by transverse strips using dowels and secured with glue. In the same way, strips are attached to the structure to support the back and plywood table top.
Advice! It is more convenient to first fold the structure, mark places for the dowels, drill holes and attach the bars without glue - this way you can replace the defects in time and correct them.

Technology Assembling a table is similar to the process of assembling a chair. First, the upper and lower planks are attached to the legs, then the resulting sidewalls are connected to each other by transverse bars a length of 340 mm.
Sidewalls preferably sand with fine sandpaper to make their surface even, smooth, and safe for use.
The next step is fastening table tops. We screw it to the end of the structure - and that’s it, a reliable children’s table-chair ready.
In principle, this is not necessary, but for the child’s comfort it is better to make seats, and, if desired, a backrest soft.
To do this, you need to glue it to a sheet of chipboard foam rubber thickness of 1-2 cm and cover it with non-staining fabric or bright oilcloth children's colors.
WITH reverse side seat fabric easily fastened using a construction stapler.
Advice! To save money, foam rubber can be replaced with several layers of padding polyester.
.From this video You will learn how to make your own baby high chair:
A small wooden stool will find a use in every home. Children run around with great joy in these chairs. Sitting on such a stool is convenient for peeling potatoes and performing other “sedentary” work. However, not many people decide to buy a small stool due to the fact that there is always a more important waste of financial resources. Here, make a small one wooden chair Almost everyone can do it with their own hands. To make it you will need a jigsaw and a little imagination.
Preparation.
Manufacturing of parts, grinding.
Painting.
Preparation.
Preparing the material and necessary tools plays an important role and saves time in the future. To make a stool we will need:
- hewn board measuring 800x200x25 mm (dimensions are approximate, you can proceed from what is available),
- 8 shiny screws (50-60 mm),
- sandpaper,
- jigsaw,
- screwdriver or screwdriver,
- paint and varnish on wood,
- tape measure, pencil and corner.
You need to start by marking the board. First of all, using a corner, a pencil and a tape measure, mark a rectangular segment without knots 32-33 cm long. This will be top part our high chair. Next, we mark two segments of 23 cm each - these will be the sides. Now it is advisable to give them some kind of curly pattern. You can use any objects that have a circle for this, simply outlining them with a pencil. But, this method involves an irrational waste of time. After all, you will have to mark the center and other dimensions in each side. Therefore, for the sides it is better to use a pattern pre-cut from thick cardboard or other material. It will allow you to easily and quickly mark a large number of sides. Just attach the pattern and trace it with a pencil.
By the way, the use of a figured pattern on the side not only gives them beautiful view, but also allows you to trim off all unwanted knots.
And immediately mark the jumper. It should be trapezoidal in shape and have sides of 230 and 220 mm. The width of the jumper is not important - from 80 to 120 mm.
So, has a marked board.
Important! You should not draw too thick lines - this affects the evenness of the trim. And the pencil is not so easy to erase.
Using a jigsaw we cut out all our parts. Evenness is important here. To trim the cut evenly, it is better to guide the tool blade not along the line, but to the side of it.
You can learn to cut evenly using unnecessary waste. So, let's cut out all the details.
This will give the product not only a beautiful look, but will also hide all possible irregularities in the cutting.
Next, we carefully sand all these parts with fine sandpaper. Carry out this procedure exactly at this stage most rationally, since when grinding finished design a number of inconveniences may arise. It is convenient to sand smooth surfaces by putting sandpaper on wooden block, on either manual machine for grouting putty. The main thing is quality, since after painting all defects will appear and be visible.
This is what sanded and unpolished sides look like.
So, it has the same parts, but ready for assembly.
It is advisable to carry out the assembly in this order:
- connect the sides with the jumper (1 screw on each side);
- we expose this design to flat surface and screw the top cover (2 screws on each side);
- We strengthen the connection of the sides with the jumper (1 more screw each).
The chair is assembled! We check it again on a flat plane. If the stool is a little wobbly, then we tighten the legs until the product is completely stable.
Painting.
Before painting, we check the product again for defects, and if necessary, erase them and pencil residues. Using a brush, we clean the stool from wood dust and begin painting.
Here “there is no comrade to taste and color”! You can leave the natural color of the wood by painting it with clear varnish. You can give the product a certain color using a variety of wood paints, which are abundant in all construction stores. In principle, one coat is sufficient for painting. But, if, after the first layer has completely dried, the surfaces are lightly sanded again with fine sandpaper and a new layer of varnish is applied, the shine of the product will noticeably increase.
Important! Poorly sanded ends absorb more paint and get darker.
This is what the finished chair looks like, varnished.
To provide your child with comfortable, durable, beautiful furniture without spending a lot of money, you need to do it yourself. Start with less - try making a highchair with your own hands. Look at the photographs of similar pieces of furniture presented on the Internet, ready-made diagrams, drawings, determine what dimensions it should have ready product how it will fit into the interior of a children's room, etc.
The choice of manufacturing material is of no small importance. Of course, it will depend on the financial capabilities and skills of the master, but the factor of its naturalness and safety for the child’s health should not be overlooked. In the production of children's furniture, it is best to use their raw materials deciduous trees. The advantage belongs to beech, since its wood has good density, hardness, and is easy to process (for example, compared to oak). You can also use linden and birch. Coniferous species - pine, spruce, but to prevent resin stains from forming on the surface of the product during operation, the wood must be deresined.
When choosing wood for a chair, be sure to ensure that the pieces are free of knots. Such areas of wood are less amenable to processing and are less strong. Active use of the high chair can lead to breakage at the knot, resulting in injury to the child.
To inexpensive wood materials include plywood. It consists of several layers of veneer of coniferous and deciduous trees. In addition to its low price, the advantages of plywood include light weight and ease of use. The elasticity of the material allows you to create original curved shapes of various parts
Chipboard is considered the most short-lived but cheapest material. A significant drawback is the use of formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde resins (6-18%) in its production. Also, chipboard does not have a dense texture; because of this, the fastenings are not reliable. In children's furniture, chipboard (as well as plywood) is often made flat parts: seats, backs, table tops.
We offer drawings and manufacturing procedures for a children's chair. Its dimensions:
For a more reliable connection of parts, self-tapping screws and tenons will be used simultaneously.
To make a wooden chair for a child with your own hands, you need to prepare the following materials, tools and fasteners in advance:
Children's furniture should not only be comfortable and light, but also completely safe for the child. Therefore, after assembling the chair, it must be processed, varnished or painted. When playing with his furniture, the baby will move it and turn it over. All surfaces, edges and joints must be thoroughly sanded using sandpaper or grinder, do sharp corners rounded.
Several layers of drying oil will create protective covering wood, will extend its service life. Afterwards you can start painting. Choose light or bright colors for the decor of children's furniture; paints that are wear-resistant will not peel off. A layer of colorless varnish on the paint will help securely fix the paint. water based.
Such an original chair can be made using simple drawings, or even without them, from a lightweight (715 g) material - plywood. The chair has small dimensions, namely:
You can make a test model out of cardboard to see if a highchair of this size is suitable for your child. If this product is small, increase it by the required factor and feel free to get to work.
By showing a little imagination and preparing your own drawings, you can change appearance and finishing of the high chair, as well as making a table for a child of a similar design. Your child will appreciate it.
Every parent sooner or later faces the problem of purchasing children's furniture, and a highchair in in this case is no exception. Moreover, the market with similar products offers us a fairly wide range, but when choosing, some difficulties often arise. In particular, which material should you prefer? The tree, naturally, wins in this fight, but the price for such a product leaves much to be desired. You can buy a plastic high chair, but it is not very pleasant to the touch and is not always comfortable. There is a solution: make children's
The use of this piece of furniture has some features that depend on the age of the child. Accustoming your baby to a high chair should begin at the moment when the child can already sit independently (usually around 6-8 months of age). At first, it is used exclusively for feeding, and only then for sitting during creativity or other activities. Today, hand-made children's chairs that can be used for a child come in two types:
With age, a child develops a lot of hobbies that require spending a certain amount of time sitting in a chair. The main function is still to use it for sitting at a table, including a dining table. High chair, made with your own hands taking into account all your wishes, will become your baby’s favorite.
It’s very easy to make a children’s highchair with your own hands, just strictly follow the sequence of actions and have everything at hand necessary tools and materials. To make it you will need:
Since the high chair is intended for use by children, it is worth remembering high quality material and its safety for health. It is also necessary to think about what the chair should be like. You should make this piece of furniture with your own hands, using only those bars that have a smooth and dry surface. Only if these rules are followed will the life of the high chair be significant.
Before you make a highchair with your own hands, you must make drawings of the parts. Before you start work, you need to carefully prepare the workpieces. The material should be dried and then walked over its surface. The latter must be done until the workpieces are perfectly smooth. This is necessary to eliminate the possibility of injury to the baby.
After preparing the material, you should make a schematic drawing, the so-called sketch. If you are making a children's high chair with your own hands, try to make the drawings as simple as possible. Then you will not have any difficulties during assembly.
You need to start making children's high chairs with your own hands from the bottom of the future product, namely from its legs. You will need two wooden blanks 27 cm long and 52 cm long. These parts of the chair must be carefully processed using special tools for working with wood - a workbench and a plane. All four sides of the bars must be brought to a size of 40x40 mm. For ease of processing, you can safely use a vice, between which you can insert a block. To avoid the appearance of dents, it is necessary to take preventive measures, in particular, the use of thin aluminum or plywood spacers, having previously given them L-shape. After processing the legs of the future chair with a plane, you need to make markings and remove all unnecessary parts with a jigsaw.
At this stage, the back of the product is designed, as well as the corresponding crossbars. The blanks for the crossbars should be about 17 cm long, and for the back - 16 cm. When cutting out the crossbars and backs, you need to make a tolerance of about 5 cm. You cannot forget about this, since they are extremely necessary for further processing. The processing process itself is similar to the previous procedure. As a result of all actions, you should receive bars with the following parameters:
For sitting you need to take wooden boards, there should be two of them. Moreover, the dimensions should be as follows: 150x250x25 mm. These boards need to be planed on four sides. Gaps are not allowed. After the edges are processed, the sharp corners of the boards need to be rounded. Various patterns will help you with this. At the end, these workpieces must be worked with sandpaper, especially for the ends of the bars, which as a result must be perfectly smooth.
This stage involves performing the following actions. First of all, using a drill, in accordance with the existing markings on the legs of the future chair, you need to make holes that will not be through, but blind. A well-known tool - a chisel - will help make this task easier. Using this device in combination with a chisel, all excess wood must be removed from the resulting grooves.
Before directly assembling all the parts, you must choose the method by which they will be attached to each other. There are several such methods:
The last method is the most popular. To do this, you need to make a cut on the tenons that are located on the crossbars along the entire length, 5 mm wide. The wedges should be about 5 mm shorter than the grooves, but it is recommended to make their width 0.5 mm larger. Before inserting the crossbars into the grooves, the wedge must be mounted into the resulting cut, and then assemble all the parts with a mallet. This will cause the wedge to expand the tenon and the chair will not be in danger of loosening.
After all the workpieces are cut out and their surface is sufficiently smooth, you can safely proceed to final assembly products. You will get more reliable children's high chairs by additionally lubricating all their connections with your own hands. You need to start assembly with the frame. To do this you will need bars measuring 15x15 mm and self-tapping screws. After the frame is constructed, you can mount a board that will act as a seat. Before doing this, it is advisable to make holes in the bars for self-tapping screws. This is necessary so that when assembling the chair, namely when screwing the fasteners, the product is not damaged. The bars themselves need to be attached specifically to inside crossbars, and only then install the seat itself.
You can also make children’s tables and chairs with your own hands, such as in the photo below.
You can finish the job by covering the entire chair with varnish, after painting the product in the desired color.
