Make an Instructables Restaurant

Step 5 How to create a GREAT AMBIANCE

You could go in any direction with this but as this is an Instructables Restaurant we suggest the graphic design of the website as an inspiration for the ambiance of the restaurant.

1. It wouldn't really be an Instructables Restaurant if it didn't have some designs from the Instructables Hall of Fame like the Platonic Suns lamp by Daan and the 55 Gallon Barrel Chair by Monkeybrad. We suggest you combine personal favorites with more recognizable designs.

2. Graphic Design. Go to step 7 to find some of the graphic designs we use in the restaurant. It is a basic lay-out done by Dearboss. It is designed for crediting the original Instructables.com members for their instructables. It also includes a printable graphic design for the ibles you used so guests can bring those home and re-create what they ate and what they sat on..

3. Decide on the nature of the restaurant. How many tables? Self service or lots of waiters. Forever or as a one-off thing. Is it a fun twist to a catering or dinnerparty, or a serious business opportunity? This will effect how much you can and should do. It is my experience that you should focus on two or three eye catchers and not more.

4. Decide on a budget for materials and shop around for the ingredients.

5. If you are not a handyman/woman, and even if you are, get others involved. See step 6 for how to create a production party everybody will want to be invited to.
