Making a fake leather couch or chair for a gingerbread house

In this picture you can see in the bottom floor of the gingerbread house a couch and two chairs.  The funny thing about how this was thought of how to make is me playing with my caramel candy while  a passenger in a car.  The couch and chair base is made of rice crispy treats, you shape it into the shape of the furniture you want.  Once you are done the next step is taking the square pieces of caramel and putting it in a bowl and putting it into the microwave.  Microwave these caramels until they are soft and easy to shape it will feel like play doh.  Then you cover the furniture with the caramel I like to flatten out the caramel and drape it over the pieces and using your fingers to push it into the shape of the item.  If you rub your fingers over the caramel you can make it shine more. I put in little dings to make it look like real leather.  You can also make pillows for on the furniture the same way. Use your imagination and it will soar!
