The Spidey Throne

My son loves Spider-Man, so I decided to make a Spider-Throne where he can sit and watch the animated series about the amazing Spider-Man. For this, I was inspired by the shape of our favorite hero's iconic mask.

So get all your cardboard or whatever material you prefer ready for this build and join me in this ambitious project

1. Cardboard
2. Hot Glue
3. Contact cement
4. Scissors
5. X-acto
6. Embosser
7. Pencil
8. Printed Templates
9. Marker
10. Ruler
11. Tape

At first he only wanted a mask, but I said why not make a chair based on his favorite character, but how could I depict the arachnid on a chair? That's when I realized I had to merge these two concepts in a dynamic way.

Initially, I considered using the spider logo, which is quite iconic, but due to design issues, it didn't fit what I wanted. The legs would stick out too much, making it impractical and a bit complex to assemble.

Besides, it would be a bit scary for a child and could only be used normally around Halloween.

So I opted to merge the concept of the chair and the mask, combining the chair as if it were the neck and the mask as the backrest, giving support to the back.

If you find any errors or have difficulties in assembling, send me a message, Although the order is quite intuitive, you just have to follow the steps in this Instructable and review the guides attached in the template.

Cut out all the templates and group them according to the corresponding part: the neck, the face, and the seat area.

Try stacking the pieces in groups so you don't have pieces scattered or lost later.

Now transfer the templates to the cardboard using a pencil or marker. Try to ensure that both pieces, left and right, maintain the same linear flow on the cardboard for a better finish.

Try to use as much of the material as possible to avoid waste, and position the pieces carefully so they are not damaged when cutting.

Then start cutting out the pieces one by one, being careful not to cross the edges and ruin another piece.

Remember that each mold comes individually but must be manufactured from both the front and back sides in order to generate the pieces for both the left and right sides.

Apply glue and, following the indicated order (either numerical or alphabetical), glue the pieces together as they correspond.

The design and assembly are quite intuitive, but I recommend marking each piece inside according to the letter on the template and adding R or L depending on the part, for example: 1"L" or A"L"

Remember that it is a symmetrical design, so all 31 pages must be replicated twice, both the left and right sides.

The base is the support for the chair and its design prevents it from tipping backwards

Apply glue and assemble according to the images.

At the top base, I will place some tabs to give better grip to the part that joins the neck to the base; apply glue internally to ensure a better grip

Make sure to let it dry properly before gluing and use a toothpick to avoid mistakes and spilled glue.

Some parts, such as the seat, must be internally reinforced, as well as the chair back and the base.

For that, we will make some cardboard tabs that will be glued on with contact cement or hot glue.

To attach these tabs, we must first measure the angle of the fold and use a repoussé tool to make the respective fold. This way, they will fit snugly and give solidity to the Spidey Throne chair.

Reinforce the areas where you deem it necessary

For curved pieces, we will also use the embossing tool to make the folds that achieve the indicated curvature.

One of all the resulting pieces for each case, Face, Neck and Seat

Since the left and right pieces are symmetrical, we will glue them from the center outwards to prevent any part from being misaligned.

We will assemble the mask by joining two pieces at a time, each with its nearest counterpart, starting with the top pieces and then the chin pieces.

Glue two pieces together, and then glue those pieces together with their corresponding piece until the parts are formed.

Always follow the templates and their indicators, and always keep in mind the internal demarcation to know which side you are working on so you don't get confused with pieces on the right or left side.

After gluing all the parts, glue them together and, where necessary, use the cardboard tabs.

First glue the eye rim, then the jaw part, and finally the top part. Then join both sides to form the complete mask.

Now glue all three pieces together along their edges: the mask, the neck, and the base.

And you'll have a striking and unique chair with an interesting design that every comic book fan will love.

This chair was designed for a child. If you need a specific size, please let me know.

Have a wonderful day and lots of fun making it.
