Despite the significant differences in the appearance of the framework and execution techniques, it is possible to make all of the below types of hanging chairs yourself. So, there are:

Outboard chair: we make ourselves

Today we want to talk about how to make two types of hanging chairs, namely chairs with a wicker frame and chairs with a soft frame. Consider each species separately.

Armchair with wickerwork

Materials and tools that we will need:

• two hoops of different diameters of high-strength materials, ideally made of metal-plastic, as it can withstand heavy loads;
• Strong yarn, well, if they are made of polyamide;
• strong cords to connect hoops;
• foam rubber tapes;
• slings;
• scissors;
• tape measure or centimeter;
• gloves.

First we prepare the hoops. We wrap them with foam tapes, they can be attached with glue or tape, then wrapped with polyamide threads. In principle, if you could not find foam rubber, you can do without it, but it will be much tougher. Next, from the hoop of a larger diameter, we start "chess" to weave the net. When the grid is finished, it is necessary to fasten the two hoops together to get a single structure. From the front, both hoops are tightly wrapped in strong cords. Then you can safely proceed with the design of the back. The scheme for weaving can choose any, it all depends on your level of possession of the technique of macrame. To begin it is necessary from above, and in the end working thread to fasten to a bottom of a back. If desired, the model can be supplemented with fringe. The chair is ready, it remains only to use the lines to install it in the desired place.

Chair with a soft frame

This model is considered the easiest, so we do not need any special materials or tools, just prepare:

• a hoop of durable material;
• a piece of dense fabric, two or three meters will be more than enough;
• braid, with which the edges will be processed, to facilitate your work you can use non-woven fabrics;
• Slings and rings for fastening the finished chair to the ceiling;
• scissors;
• roulette or centimeter;
• needles and threads.

We begin with the cutting of the fabric, this is the most difficult and crucial moment, so it's better to cut out the necessary details of a larger size than you intended, to reduce it always. To begin, we prepare two equal circles. This can be done in the following way: we cut out two identical squares, add each of them four times and cut off the edge along the circle. Next, make out the four cuts for the lines, they should be located at the same distance from each other. Then, from the wrong side, we process the edges with braid or fleece. We spend circles together along the whole circumference, not forgetting to leave a hole in order to insert a hoop, which can be preliminarily wrapped with foam rubber or sintepon. Turn the workpiece to the front side and insert the hoop, then sew up the hole left and further spread the circles, retreating from the edge 5-8 cm. We attach the slings, previously cut into four equal parts. Pendant armchair with soft frame is ready! It is perfect for a loft-style living room, a children's room or a veranda.
