When I was little, I used things like thread spools for chairs, I made a sofa and a bed out of sponges and used felt for rugs. Things like thimbles and big buttons make due for cups and plates. I also used old stamps for pictures to put on walls and toothpicks to frame them.

If you're really ambitious, you could get some poster paper (or card stock), scissors, tape, and some practice-- you could make some really nice stuff.
Think each piece out. Consider strength and durability desired in the piece you'll be making.
If you've taken geometry in school, that will help. When you can, use triangular supports underneath the visible surfaces, like the underside of a table, chair or bed. Remember that a crease can strengthen or weaken a structure, depending on how it's used.
You can also use markers, crayons or colored pencils change the color of the pieces. If you wanted, you could also use bits of fabric and a glue stick or hot glue gun to add texture and variety.... just be careful with the hot glue gun!
Best of luck...

I made furniture for my barbies by gluing cardboard pieces together and then gluing on a light padding and then covering them with fabric-the cardboard was cut into the skeleton of the couch chair etc and then the padding was cut to fit the places barbie would sit and glued down then the fabric was glued over it all-My mom helped me with the cutting and fitting. Good luck-it reminds of the fun i used to have

There is this craft hobby called plastic canvas. It is very easy. There are books on it and stuff that can show one how to do this. The furniture looks really cool and it is pretty sturdy. Plastic canvas is just this stuff (plastic obviously ) with little holes in so you can put yarn through it. The only other materials needed are yarn and a needle. You can get these things at a Micheal's or Joann Fabrics

Sure, you can get creative with cardboard, toilet and paper towel tubes, small boxes, scissors, construction paper, glue and fabric. Maybe you can got to a fabric store and get remnants (small leftover pieces of cut fabric) dirt cheap or even free.
Let your imagination go wild.

Anything is possible. xD
Why don't you collect trash or little pieces of wood from your garage and use a glue dun to create whatever you want?
