Folding Beach Sling Chairs


Can I just tell you that I love these chairs?  They are adorable, COMFORTABLE, and pretty darned easy to make.  Heck, I made five of them!  The plans are available from Ana White for free!  If you know me, you know I worship the Alaskan ground she walks on.  :)


I made three of the adult versions as a special thank you to my son's preschool teacher and aides.  He is a full-time job in and out of our home and these ladies needed a place to relax for the summer.  I hope they've got a lot of use out of them.  I purchased the fabric from JoAnne's Fabrics and the wood I used for these is cedar, coated with Thompson's Water Sealer.  You can find the plans for the adult-sized version of the beach sling chair here.

 
I also had to make a few for my little darlings.  Ana has slightly different plans for the kid's version.  You can find the plans here.  These bad boys were made with pine, and I decided to paint them with white exterior paint. 

Made the kid's chairs with reversible fabric.

I'm kind of thinking they approve.  :)


Surprise yourself or someone else by giving these a try.

So when I create something new, by recycling wood, well, that just makes me happy!  And these little animal friends of mine are just so damned cute, you should be smiling too! I only got as far as the dog and hedgehog, but I'm bound to add more to the little zoo. I have to give tons of credit to Sand and Sisal , this wonderful blog that I discovered on Hometalk . I saw her amazing shark pallet art and HAD to create something of my own.  Thanks so much for the inspiration! Each one of these little guys was made with deconstructed pallet wood.  After blowing up the images, and creating them into line drawings, I traced around them on the woo...
