First Craft!!!

How to make an AG Mini Doll bed!!! This can be made for any doll even big or large. Just depends on your sizing.
Things you Will NEED!
  • Fabric. The Size depends on how big your doll is. I would say enough to cover the two pieces of foam and enough to make a blanket to go around your doll laying on the bed.
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Foam, Thickness depends on how tall you want the bed to be. (Not Thin Craft Foam)
  • Optional: Ribbon, Decorations, and a Sewing Needle and Thread.
The sewing needle is optional. You can also use the hot glue to make the blanket if you want to make it quickly.

The Result 

  1. First cut two rectangles of foam. That will be your base to the doll mattress and bed. The length and width should be big enough to fit your doll length and width.
  2. Take the fabric and wrap it around the foam to make it look like a mattress cover on the first foam rectangle. Then do the same for the other foam rectangle. Take the two rectangles and glue them together with the hot glue. You now have a doll Mattress 
  3. To make a blanket. Take two sheets of fabric with your desired length and put them onto eachother inside out. Glue or sew the sides going around the square or rectangle in the form of a U. So basically like this. |_| Then flip it inside out and glue the top part where it is open. There you have a simple blanket.
  4. To make the pillow. Repeat step 3 but use smaller fabric. Then put in the stuffing and glue the side or top to close the pillow. Optional: Use ribbon to decorate the sides.
  5. This is an optional step: IF you want the blanket to stay on the bed same with the pillow, use hot glue to glue down the sides of the blanket and the pillow. 
There you have it! A Mini Doll AG Bed!
