This is a project based off the real dimensions of a full sized Adirondack chair, only mini sized!
It requires patience, a little sanding and some concentration to put it together, but you get a accurate and beautiful 1:12 scale model fit for the backyard of any social dollhouse owner, or for whatever else you please!
The chair is cut from a flat sheet of bamboo and two chairs can be made from the single sheet. The cut bamboo sheets can be ordered from my showroom at Ponoko.com. Once you receive the cut pieces, you can follow the guide to construct your miniature.

I went to the design 110 site that sells the kit and my only issue is the price, 38 bucks for this model is kind of steep when the real thing actually costs less.
Check it out, ace hardware is selling the real one for less!

Again, sorry to those who expected a simple "at-home" project, I suppose I could add the term "laser cut" to the title to avoid disappointment.
I hope you find/found a great project to do with your daughter on this site!
