Bedrooms are of course important for when its time for the dolls to finally take a break from their busy lives.

Dresser/VanityTo make a perfect vanity or dresser set use a small, individual sized cereal box set on its side. Cut up popsicle sticks to make the legs and little cardboard pieces to represent drawers. Paint the whole thing as you’d like. To attach a mirror use a half lid of a coffee or Pringles can lid and cover the inside with aluminum foil. Glue all pieces together and let dry.

Bed and Mattress The bed and mattress set is easy to make, especially if fruit is in season. Trim a berry basket so that it resembles the mattress,head and footboards. For the other two sides, cut them straight just above the holes all the way down to the bottom of the box, never cutting them completely apart from the head/footboard piece. Fold the other two sides under to serve as the frame. You can use a sponge or foam for the mattress, a cotton pillow and fabric bed cover.

If you are extra creative you could even crochet or knit a bedspread.

Nightstand
For any kind of nightstand or side table you can use the lid of an old spray can. Simply place the open side face down to create a contemporary, modern look. You can add color, fabric or stickers to the top for added decoration.

Additionally, you doll will of course need a bedside lamp so that she can do everything she needs to before jumping into bed. This lamp can be made with a golf tee, bendy straw and toothpaste cap. Use the golf tee as the base and place it upside down. Cut the straw down to size and then place the straight end over the point of the tee. Follow it up by adding a toothpaste lid wide side facing down to the other end of the straw. Wah lah! You have a minature lamp.
