- When I was in infants class we used to make chairs out of pins and chestnuts. We used to spend our afternoon looking for flat chestnuts such as (drawing). Then we would bring them to school next day and the teacher would show us how to make the chairs. First of all we would get the chestnuts. Then stick four of the pins in the round part of the chestnuts for legs. Then put about five pins half ways around the flat part of the chestnut to form back When this is done, get a nice piece of wool and weave it round the pins in and out. It looks very nice when finished.
