Cardboard Adirondack Chair

My phone had an accident.

What do you do when life gives you little troubles? You put them on a little chair to have a little break.

So I put the poor guy on a comfy chair that is his size, chair on the bed and hopefully it'll get better soon.

Supplies

What you need to make it:

- cardboard, obviously

- wood glue, ideally - cutter(s)

- in my case I have access to a laser so I used that

- printer to print the design

Parts

Initially I was gonna put each part on a separate step but there's no point in dragging it.

You can see the parts and their names in the attached images.

You can use a printer to print the design and paste it on cardboard or laser cut the whole thing in one go.

Putting It All Together

For this I'm gonna invite you to look at this ible for the steps: https://www.instructables.com/Pallet-Adirondack-Ch...

There's quite a few of them. Follow them patiently and you'll get there.

Final Thoughts

After my phone healed (thank God!), I was finally able to put the chair to its intended purpose - a comfy place for my pet potato - as you can see he's resting quite well.

Well, after the photo he jumped on the ground, but until that point he was really happy!

So - rest your phone on it, your potato, heck - make it bigger and let your cat have a go at it - the world is your oyster!
