How to Make Doll Beds

Hey guys! Skye here, and I'm going to show you how to make a super simple king-sized doll bed! This is great if you have one doll or if you have a favorite doll.


What you'll need:
- Two American Girl boxes, or a box that will fit two dolls on top
{I doubt that if you have one doll, you'll have two American Girl boxes}
- A fabric that will fit over the boxes
- Construction paper
- Wood, cardboard, or a pillow

1. The first step is to lay both boxes upside-down, next to each other. You can tape them together, if desired.

2. Lay the fabric on top of the boxes and fold the top part, as shown in the image below.


3. If the boxes show, then cover that part in construction paper.

4. In the back, add a headboard. You can use wood, a pillow, or cardboard. I'm using the lid of a storage ottoman.

5. And what's a bed without pillows
{here's a quick tutorial within a tutorial. :) my quick secret on making a doll pillow is getting a text book cover, and fluffing one pocket with packing peanuts. add a soft fabric over the packing peanuts. fold the other pocket and pin it to the stuffed pocket. confusing, much? there'll be a post on that asap.}


And, yep, it's that simple! Enjoy your fabulous doll bed!
