Step 1

Select a chair with arms and a flat back and measure the dimensions of the chair's back. Cut a piece of cardboard, equal in width to the chair's back but one foot longer, and tape it to the back of the chair.

Step 2

Cover the entire chair with a gold sheet. Glue strips of purple velvet around the outline of the gold covering to add a look of royalty.

Step 3

Pull the excess gold covering tightly and pin it in place at the chair's back, arms and legs. Cover each pin with a piece of red ribbon.

Step 4

Write the title "king" followed by your child's name with silver glitter glue across the top of the throne and allow time to dry before use to decorate the throne. Place adhesive gems where desired and position a red seat cushion on the throne for comfort.
