Original beds for dolls Monster High do it yourself

Monster High dolls are very popular now, and for sure the daughters of our readers have these funny beauties. It is very important for girls to provide their favorite dolls with conditions for a beautiful life, including furniture. A bed for a Monster High doll can be bought in the store, or you can make an exclusive item yourself, avoiding unnecessary costs.

Step by step instructions

There are many ways to make toy furniture, including beds. We will tell you a few of them, simple and quick. The most important thing in our case is the correct styling, and the base is done quite easily and even standardly.

It is very important that the exterior of the bed is designed to match the style of your doll.

Whichever type of bed you choose for the Monster High doll, you may need the following materials and tools in your work:

• a suitable cardboard box (for example, from under the shoes);
• paper - colored, velvet or corrugated;
• scissors and a paper knife;
• stapler;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• colored markers;
• gouache or watercolor paints, brushes;
• PVA glue, scotch tape.

Now let's proceed directly to making the bed. We will describe in detail several methods for you, and you choose the most suitable one.

Regular bed

For this crib, you need to take two small cardboard boxes and two colors of viscose napkins.

Thick cardboard or shoebox is a great base for a crib

We will proceed from the dimensions of the box 29.5 cm long and 6 cm high.

1. Carefully glue the ends of the box, cover all sides with a viscose cloth of the same color. Try to keep everything smooth.

   

   Cover the box with a cloth or rayon napkin

2. From the second box, cut a rectangle for the headboard. Its width is 10.5 cm, and its length is 14 cm. The shape can be any: rectangular, pointed or rounded. Cover the back with a napkin in the same color as the bed.
3. Now you need to think over the design of the crib. In this case, it is advisable to rely on who your monster doll is. For example, for the daughter of a werewolf, you can depict the footprint of a wolf's paw on the back of the bed. Cut it out of a different colored napkin and stick it on the back.

4. Cover the end of the bed with glue and attach the headboard.

   

   Decorate the back in the style of your doll and glue to the end of the bed

5. To prevent the bed from looking rustic, cover the folds with narrow lace or satin ribbon. Use PVA glue for this. Thus, you hide sloppy napkin joints.

Try to make a simple ottoman as in the picture.

To do this, measure on a cardboard box with a ruler and draw a line with a pencil, retreating 2 cm from the top and 1 cm on the sides. Cut out the bed like in the photo.

Cut out the back from thick paper or cardboard. Make it tall and shape, color it to match the style of your monster doll. Glue the headboard to the bed and make the bed.

Bunk bed

Such a bed is not so difficult to make. It will be just right if your daughter has a whole collection of Monster High dolls. You will need:

• shoe boxes;
• synthetic winterizer;
• the cloth;
• glue;
• wooden sticks, skewers or sticks for sushi.

Bunk bed option

Cover the boxes with colored paper. Fasten the sintepon inside in several layers, which will serve as a mattress, cover with a suitable piece of fabric.

Glue the sushi sticks to the bottom box at the ends. From the bottom side, they should protrude slightly, literally by 1 cm, beyond the box - these will be the legs of the bed.

Attach the second box to the top of the sticks. Your doll bed is ready!
