Toy Dinette set made w/ Gum Wrappers

Create a miniature dinette set using gum wrappers.
Amaze you friends and family with you new found creative skills!

You'll need lots of wrappers for this one so start chewing.

Materials: 23 foil gum wrappers
Optional material: ruler, extra foil gum wrappers, protractor

Based on feedback from a previous instructable, I have decided to expand upon the tiny gum wrapper chair project and complete an entire dinette set based on that scale.

Now why, you may ask, would someone want to make such a dinette set? Well, what if you met some new friends and invited them over for dinner but they were very very small. You wouldn't want them to feel uncomfortable and out of place. You, as a good host, would want them to feel at home and feel respected as people regardless of their size. You could make them a cozy little place to enjoy their meal. (I'm still trying to figure out why I do these things...)

This may take awhile, so lets get rollin'

Step 1 Make six chairs

In this step you will make six chairs.
Simply follow the instructions for one chair six times.

This can be hard work, but just think of the look on your guests little faces when they see how much you cared about their comfort.

Some local people at Cuba recycle the empty cans of the tourists and make that and sell it! Sorry for my engliash... I am a french-canadian. (Québec!)

Thanks! I could definitely use the money. I could also benefit from moving some of these off my desk shelf. Sometimes they fall behind my monitor.

So dang cute!!!!! Of course an Altoid tin for storage-what iBle could not use and Altiod tin for some practical purpose? +1 keep them coming-how about people now-and their pets?

My most recent project was an umbrella. I didn't think I could ever get it to work at all. My first few attempts at people have been, regretably, rather lame. I'll keept trying but I have to catch up to my other furniture, playground equipment, water craft projects first.

Hmmm... For some reason I'm thinking of the old "Friendly Giant" show, only his chairs were made of wood. Nice work, by the way.

You could use an altoids tin to protect your work/work in progress. I'm really stressing that this is a highly portable hobby. All you need is gum wrappers and you can carry them easily in any pocket. They're small, lightweight and won't take up much room in your pocket.

Awesome job! I wouldn't put this in my pocket either, but still, your stuff is always amazing. Great job. +1 rating. +1 vote.

These are really nice, but I'd rather not put them in my pocket.
