More mini pallet chairs!

I've made several more miniature pallet chairs. I just love mini things. My first "proto-type" pallet chairs can be seen -here- in an earlier post.

You can see more photos of these new popsicle stick chairs here at my -Etsy shop-.

I use one of my original chairs as a cell phone stand in my office and another chair as cute bookshelf decor.

Pallet chair for your cell phone!

I love shipping-pallets-turned-furniture. So, I thought, why not create the look of modern pallet chairs but for a different purpose...for a cell phone.

So, a bunch of popsicle sticks and some wood glue later, here they are!

I used a bandsaw to cut the sticks, but a coping saw (an inexpensive hand saw) would work also.
Then I just starting assembling. I finished off each chair by drilling tiny holes and inserting cut up toothpicks to work as "nails" with wood glue. These are sturdy little chairs!
For one of the chairs, I added dark stain, and both were coated with polyurethane. To keep the chair from sliding, I added tiny pieces of self-stick rubber no-slip pads.

My inspiration:
Actual pallet chairs like this one:

And, it worked!
