DIY 18" Doll bed

This is the perfect size for your daughters American girl doll! Or like my poor daughter, she has a knock off. She's only 2, I might get her a real one when she's older, or maybe Grandma will!  ;) 

I built this with all scrap wood, so it was FREE! I also already had some extra fabric & batting for the sheet & I will sew a blanket soon! 

Cut list:

2- 2x2 @  12" front/headboard posts

2- 2x2 @  6" foot posts

2- 1x2 @  10 1/2" Under mattress supports

4- 1x2 @ 9" headboard back slats & 1 foot board slat

3- 1x4 @ 20" mattress

2- 1x2 @ 20" side supports

I used a white stain & my daughter loved helping me with this! 

I wrapped the batting & fabric around the mattress & stapled it to the bed frame.

 

Play Stand!

A play stand - Bakery, Market, Lemonade stand or Puppet Theatre! 

Here's a build plan of a play stand that is similar to mine:

I designed this one myself using my scrap wood. And I also had extra fabric, so this project was basically free minus the foam board!

 Here is the cut list for the one that I made: 

Cut List

2- 2x3 @48" Back legs

2- 2x3 @25" front legs

6- 2x2 @5 3/4" side shelf supports 

1- 2x2 @18" Back side upper shelf support

2- 2x4 @18" bottom shelf supports

1- 1x8 @23" Top shelf

2- 1x6 @23" 2nd & 3rd shelf

1- 1x3 @23" Top shelf front piece

3- 1x2 @18" Top shelf back piece goes over 2x2 & other on the bottom shelf back

1- 1x2 @18" Sign support bottom

1- 1x2 @23" back of sign support 

2- 1x4 @3 3/4" front sign square supports

For the foam board signs:

I printed out the letters on the computer & the traced first & pressed very hard so there would be an indention. Next traced over that with a sharpie & filled in the letters with black craft paint. 

For the flag bunting, I just made a triangle template & sewed them together. I used Velcro on the underneath side of the 1x2 so that it can be switched out!

Shopping list 

4 - 2" X 36" stair spindles for legs

1 - 1x8 @ 6ft (top aprons)

1- 2x3 (bottom supports)

$35 DIY Outdoor dining table

I designed this table myself! I wanted a simple, modern & cheap table! This is a super easy build! 

Shopping list 

5- 2x4s @8ft

6- 1x6s @6ft

Cut list

2- 2x4 @ 64" aprons (save the leftover pieces from these cuts & they are the perfect length for the under table supports!) 

2- 2x4 @ 32" Side aprons

4- 2x4 @ 30" Legs

Measure the 1x6 table top boards at the end & cut accordingly. Attach the 32" aprons to the legs first. I used 1 1/2 pocket holes & 2 1/2" ph screws! Then attach long side aprons. Use 2 left over pieces from 64" cuts as supports, mine fit perfectly! See picture below! Then counter sink 2" screws for the top board. Since this an outdoor table the 1x6 boards have small gaps to allow for rain drainage. Sand, stain & varnish & your done! :) 

Here's the top with screws: 

My favorite way to apply stain: I like to wear a rubber glove & cut up a small piece of an old t-shirt, rub the stain into the wood & it will take less time to dry. Then go back & apply a second coat of you want a darker color! I used Early American stain here:

Here's some more pics of it! Dinner al fresco anyone?!? ;)
