    Making a Mego Couch out of Foam Core Board and Felt

    Your Mego figures can get tired and sore feet by standing all day long. Why not make them a couch so they can sit and relax??
    Here is a real simple couch/sofa you can make for your Mego figures using foam core board and a couple felt sheets to cover it.
    I found this link enclosed. You can adjust the printout size to make it bigger. It's very easy to make. It only took me about an hour to make and you don't need expensive tools.
    I made it for my Mego Kelly Garrett, but Peggy Bundy and Alice from the Brady Bunch might like one, too!

    Here's some pictures of the couch I made:

    Here's some pictures of Mego Kelly relaxing on the sofa waiting for Sabrina and Kris to arrive so that Charlie can give them their next assignment:

    That’s cool. I had just watched this video the other day...

    Fresh, not from concentrate.

      I watched that video, too! It's more elaborate than the foam core board one I posted, and looks more time consuming, but the results are spectacular! It looks better than my own real people couch! LOL
      The one I made is real simple, and took about an hour to make. It doesn't have soft cushion seats like the other one, so my Megos might get sore bottoms! LOL

          Looks great! And is that a placemat you are using as a bamboo curtain?

            Yes, you have good eyes! It is indeed a placemat I grabbed off my coffee table. I wasn't originally planning on incorporating it in my setting, but I needed a backdrop and it stands up on his own.

              Nice looking couch, you might need a couple more for the rest of Charlies Angels when there released.

                Thank you! If they release all 6 angels, I will gladly make a bigger couch! I was also thinking I could make matching sofa chairs by making the length of the seat and back smaller!
