Barbie Doll Electric Chair Science Fair Project!

Step 3 Measure your Barbie and assemble the chair.

You can try to custom fit your Barbie through careful measuring, or you can follow the measurements I made. :D

Basic chair measurements:
Seat of chair = 1 piece at 3 in. long x 3 1/2 in. wide
Back of chair = 1 piece at 6 in. tall x 3 1/2 in. wide
Armrests = 2 pieces at 3 in. long x 1/2 in. wide
Vertical armrest bases = 2 pieces at 1 1/4 in. tall by 1/2 in. wide
Foot rest = 1 piece at 3 1/2 in. long x 1/2 in. wide
Legs = 4 pieces at 3 1/2 in. tall, 1/2 in. wide

Go ahead and cut these out - I assembled the entire chair using only glue. Just take it in stages and you'll be fine! I've included two pictures of the assembled chair for reference. (Also, try not to worry too much about which way you're cutting. If you cut against the grain like I did, it'll just make the chair look more rugged and scary.) :)

Also don't worry about how straight and professional it looks. People will be impressed that you made a chair at all!

The only tip I can give here it to watch out for excess glue - you can end up with weird spots in the stain.
