Kid Stuff Makeovers Trash To Treasure

Thrift Store Doll Bed Makeover DIY

DIY Refurbished Doll Bed (2)

I was perusing Goodwill last week and found this wooden doll bed for $7.  I snatched it up right away and posted it on Facebook and Instagram. I got to work almost immediately because I couldn’t contain my excitement for the great deal I just got.  Here is my Thrift Store Doll Bed Makeover DIY. The Bed Here is the bed I bought. Isn’t it adorable?

It was a little beat up as you can see and when I put in the slats they didn’t stay in and kept falling out.

I disassembled the whole thing.

I spot sanded a few areas where there were a lot of scratches.

I asked my daughter what color she wanted and naturally she said, “PINK!”

After I painted it, I glued in the wooden mattress slats and let it dry.

The Mattress As you can see there was no mattress. I actually had some high density foam left over from the garage sale bench makeover I did. I measured and cut it to fit the bed using my trusty Fiskars amplified scissors (P.S. They are awesome).

DIY Doll Bedding How-To

I bought some flannel fabric at Jo-Ann’s.  I intentionally bought flannel because I used hot glue to attach the fabric to the foam. I simply wrapped it like a present. It fit beautifully.

The Bedding For the bedding I made it all reversible, so I made two pillows out of the fabric and a blanket, stuffing the pillows with polyester fiber fill.

I also made a white pillow out of white felt.

Here are some AFTER photos! My daughter was so excited and so far she’s played with it every day since I gave it to her!
