Just in time for Christmas :-) Here is a picture tutorial for making a very simple and inexpensive doll bed for your favorite girl. The bed requires no woodworking skills (I certainly don't have any), and uses inexpensive wood turnings available at any craft store. I purchased most of my pieces from Michaels. Here is the link to the picture tutorial to make this bed:

Some additional pictures of the bed in process. Enjoy!

The bed stained, glued, and varnished
A cozy bed for Pocket Spirit Catherine. You can also make a nifty dress form with wood turnings as well :-)
Well, now, I'd like to sleep in a bed like this one, only in MY size!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling bed! My Honey made doll beds for our four granddaughter's 18" dolls. I crocheted the covers and pillows and we made mattresses out of foam covered with white pillowcases. They were some of the best gifts the girls ever got.
