If you’re like most people, your car is one of your favorite places to be. Not only does it give you a place to sit and relax, but it also provides a convenient place to store your belongings. But what about when you need to take your car somewhere? Do you have any idea how much space a standard bench seat takes up? Chances are, not very much. That’s where this tutorial comes in. In it, we will show you how to make a car bench seat that’s both stylish and functional. Not only will this save you some space in your car, but it will also give you a place to relax while on the road.
Materials
Materials:
-2 pieces of wood that are at least 30″ long and 12″ wide
-1 1/4″ screws
-1 piece of foam (4 1/2″ wide x 4 1/2″ long)
-Sewing supplies
Instructions:
1. First, cut your two pieces of wood to the desired width and length. Make sure they’re both at least 30 inches long and 12 inches wide. This will make the finished bench seat a little narrower than an average car seat, but it will be more comfortable for your child.
2. Next, measure out a spot on one of the boards where you want your foam to go, and pencil in the location. Cut out the foam board with a knife or scissors, making sure to keep any corners cleanly cut. Be sure to measure twice before cutting!
3. Place the foam board on top of one of the boards, matching up the sides as closely as possible. Use a screwdriver or drill to screw it in place using 1 1/4 inch screws from both sides (be careful not to puncture the foam!). Don’t overdo it – just tighten them up until they’re snug but don’t overtighten them! You’ll need at least four screws on each side for stability. Repeat this step with the other board.
4. Now we’re ready to paint! We recommend using a coat of paint or stain
How to Make a Car Bench Seat
When you’re looking for a comfortable place to sit, your car is the obvious place to start. You can make a bench seat using an old door panel or piece of plywood. Cut two pieces of wood to fit the width and height of your car’s seat and screw them together on the sides where they meet. The top and bottom of the bench should be attached with screws as well. Cut a hole in the middle of one piece so that you can sit upright, and then cut another hole in the bottom so that you can pull up the bench when you’re ready to drive.
Tips for Making a Car Bench Seat
There are many different ways to make a car bench seat. One way is to use an old chair or stool. Simply cut the cushion off the chair or stool, and then cut two pieces of wood to fit the width of your seat. Holes should be drilled in each end of the wood to fit screws. Sit on the bench seat and screw the wood pieces onto the back of your car. Make sure that you tighten the screws evenly so that your seat is stable. Another way to make a car bench seat is to buy a cheap car bench and replace it with a piece of wood. Drill holes in the back of your car, and then screw the wooden piece onto the holes. Make sure that you tighten the screws evenly so that your seat is stable.
