DIY SOFA: How to make a couch from scratch * Mario Bellini *

Plans and building tips on my Patreon account: / fashionattack
Hello, my awesome DIY army!
Today we are gonna bring our self-made DIY skills to the next level and make a couch from scratch!
I am so so so excited about this video and even more about the result.
This DIY sofa is inspired by the Mario Bellini Camaleonda couch, i have loved this piece since ALWAYS but like most of... could never afford it.
In this couch tutorial, we are gonna see step by step how to get a comfy and stylish couch with basic equipment, nothing fancy!
easyer than upholstery!
If you prefer to buy the Camaleonda couch instead of making it, check out this Camaleonda Sofa Replica from Sohnne. Use promo code attack75 for a $75 discount!

Hahhahahah! Most of us don’t!!!!! So that’s why I try to make it with no serious equipment

[@emn3178]

Then she uses a sewing machine staple gun drill etc lol

[@FashionAttack]

Hehhhe welllllll Thats reallllll minimal equimpent compared to how you normally make a couch :) There is soooo much industrial equipment that the equipment WOUDL cost you waaaaaaay more that the couch itself hehheh

[@vendettaink7567]

When you have adhd focus is an issue to say the least. Typical methods of learning can be difficult at times to adhere to. Your videos are very POP with plenty of humor, insight, energy which makes sense to me and how my mind allows stimuli to be interpreted. Your perspective and creativity are so very unique and engaging. So I say THANK YOU!

[@christinamccarte9369]

you are just adorable and awesome.And I usually hate people and even more so when I'm searching for a decent tutorial. great job. You move along an excellent pace while still managing to show your huge personality and being entertaining. You are a frickin unicorn!! The only Trent tiny thing I wouldn't have mined being different is a little less or lower background music. Your voice and style of narrating is fun and animated and the music competes (weakly) with your talking. Thank you for an excellent tutorial!

[@FashionAttack]

ohhhh Christina!!!!!!! thanks thank thanks!!!!! this comment is amazing i so appresciate it! and about the back music thanks for the tip! i'll tone it down

[@georgewithmore8972]

Awesome. I never thought that there was a tutorial on how to make your own Bellini Camaleonda sofa somewhere on the Internet. It's literally one of the most relevant designs in Mid-Century Modern, and the idea of being able to do it yourself at home is simply mindblowing. I have a replica that I bought at Manhattan Home Design and I love it.

[@FashionAttack]

you can find ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET hehhe

[@clairebeane3455]

@@FashionAttack Yours is literally only the second one I have found, and yours seems to be done in a more user friendly fashion. Thank you SOOOOO MUCH!! ❤🎉❤

[@amyb.2207]

You are so clever! Of course there are always things that an outside perspective can spot and wanna tweak but this is impressive. I honestly don't think I would have been able to get to the finish line on this! That being said, my only input would be disguising the harsh black cord...maybe the same soft material, cut into long, thin strips and folded over and sewn..like a straw wrapper, with the black cording being the straw, of course. lol. I also think the back cushions might look a little nicer if they were drawn in a little more taught where those seams are, to mimic the seat cushion more so. But hey, you just made a whole damn seating situation come to fruition though, so Kudos to you!! Very inspiring... 👆👏👍

[@FashionAttack]

hahahhaha! i knowwwwwww it was such a challenge! the original couch from Mario Bellinihas black ropes in contrast that's why i didnt't use the same material, but i do agree it makes the couch more grunge instead of elegant! ahhhh i do have so much to learn! i'll try the tofo couch next week heheheh i hope i can pull it off!!! heheh

[@hatsiefide]

omg.....who is this diy goddess!!!

Why you need to destroy my mascara like that??????? Don’t make me cry!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ so so so thankful for this message

[@domoarigato303]

I love these videos! I agree with you about the rounding of the foam. Just a little more time on the shape and your couch would look identical to the inspiration!! Great work!

as an upholsterer. if you just asked a few questions. you would have had greater success in so many little details. but good for you for trying. we all gotta start somewhere. lol usually one starts with a dinette seat first tho.eg: shaping foam. can use a turkey electric knife for better results.
