For each motorist, the armrest is a purely individual thing that requires a special approach. Most options proposed by accessories stores are designed for massive buyers and are made according to the standard template. But so I want personal vehicles to be different from the rest of the gray mass of the same machines. Well, let's make an armrest for the car with your own hands.
1
To create such a product, you will need: plywood sheets 8 mm thick, pencil, construction and drawing tools, leather or dermatin, foam rubber, furniture loop, millimeters. In addition to tools and materials, it is necessary to stock up, patience and fantasy.
2
Make accurate distance measurements between two front seats. You will be much easier to work if all the indicators you write in a notebook or on a simple notebook sheet.
3
Take the approximate width, height and length of the future armrest. Its size should be so that your elbow can easily fit on it. Also make sure that an overly large product does not prevent fit the seat belt.
4
Now prepare a preliminary sketch. If you read this article, then surely you know what the armrest looks like. But we still clarify: in the rectangular form of the armrest, the short side is the length of the product, the long is its height, the lid is a little more of the main length.
5
Next, cut out all the necessary parts from the plywood sheet. Connect them in the correct order using reliable glue or screws. The detail of the lid must be twisted in the water and bend on one side. Of course, you can leave it smooth, but the view will not be so aesthetic.
6
Prepare a foam rectangle, length and width corresponding to the size of the lid. Distribute the same rectangle on Dermatin and add a strip of 5-7 cm wide on its perimeter. The resulting fragment is gently cut down.
7
Stick to the surface of the foam lid and cover it with leatherette or skin. Use the furniture loop to attach the cover to the armrest itself.
8
The box from the inside should be safe, smooth and smooth. If you have a desire, cover the inner side by varnish or any cloth. So, things stored inside will not hurt and do not get dirty.
9
Outside, the armrest is not necessarily separate. But if you caress his appearance, you can cover the skin all the product, cover with paint or varnish, make a multicolored case.
10
At the last stage, it remains only to firmly firm the armrest between the seats. If it enters too loose, give him more volume, attaching the same pieces of plywood on the sides.
If you have an idea to diversify the situation in the cabin of the car using the replacement of the armrest, take advantage of our manufacturer's method. We hope you find it easy, fast and helpful.
