Build Your Own American Girl Doll Bed
A Perfect Match for Your Farmhouse Beds
Suitable for 18 Inch Dolls
Looking to add a touch of charm to your doll's room? Our easy-to-follow guide will help you build your own American Girl doll bed that perfectly matches our Farmhouse Beds, suitable for all 18-inch dolls.
With a few simple materials and a little bit of time, you can create a beautiful and functional bed that your doll will love. Plus, it's a great way to save money and add a personal touch to your doll's collection.
Here's what you'll need to get started:
- 1/2-inch thick plywood
- 1x2 pine boards
- Wood glue
- Nails or screws
- Paint or stain (optional)
Once you have your materials, follow these steps to build your doll bed:
- Cut the plywood to the desired size of the bed. For a standard American Girl doll bed, the dimensions should be approximately 18 inches long by 12 inches wide.
- Cut the 1x2 pine boards to the following lengths:
- Two pieces that are 18 inches long for the sides of the bed
- Two pieces that are 12 inches long for the ends of the bed
- Two pieces that are 16 inches long for the legs of the bed
- Assemble the sides and ends of the bed by gluing and nailing the 1x2 pine boards together. Make sure that the corners are square.
- Attach the legs to the corners of the bed by gluing and nailing them in place.
- If desired, paint or stain the bed to match your doll's room décor.
Once your bed is complete, it's time to add some bedding. You can use fabric scraps, old clothes, or even purchase doll bedding from a craft store. Get creative and make your doll's bed as unique as she is.
Your doll will love her new bed, and you'll love the satisfaction of knowing that you built it yourself.
