How to make a Barbie Couch!

 A fruit flat box works the best. You can set it upside down and sit your Barbie on it to measure it's size.

 Cut slits down the middle of both short sides.

 Make an imprint line down the center from one of the slits you made to the other.

 Make the imprint on both sides. Your not cutting into, but making a fold line.

 Fold the box

 This makes the perfect couch structure.

 Tape the box to hold the two sides of bottoms together.

 Tape on both sides.

 Now time to cover the Barbie couch. I usually just drape my material over pressing in around to get a size for lengths as to where my cuts should be in my material.

 I'll make a piece for right down the middle and over the back first, then I'll cut out separate pieces for the arms.

 Hot glue is the easiest to work with. I hot glue my strip down the middle of the couch first to see how it fits, before I cut my sides out.

 I glue it on the outside first and then work my way back.

 On the fruit box it has a dip in the back, but when I'm gluing I just pretend it's not there and let it have a fake back.

 Put glue on the back and then flip it over to cover the back.

 Now it's time to make the sides.

 Easy strip to cover the front and back of the arm of the couch.

 Glue it on.

 I'm gonna put some glue in between the fabric on the top of the arm and then fold it shut like you'd wrap a present.

 Covering the second arm.

 Then I will cover the bottom to give it a finished look. It's unnecessary, but it gives it a more finished look.

 A little more glue and then it will be done.
