Oh, yes, mom dislikes to be so cruel.
First I wanted to build a new bed from light-weight woods I have on hand, but I changed my mind when I saw this wooden box below (it was a fruit crate). Saved much time.
I saw a bedhead from wood and make sure that the width matchs. The height may vary. You may cut a bedhead from cardboard, which is easier and fancier to cut, glue it with fabric then for decorating. But I choose wood for studier bed.
It´s now time to make an bedsheet or bed cover (more exact :D)
I make also a blanket and a pillow for Barbie. Can´t sleep well without them, right?
Blanket/comforter and pillow are made in the same way, but measurement varys.
Cut two rectangles (1xfleece, 1xfabric), sew them with right side together with gap for turning right side out. For the blanket I sew some straight lines through two layers. For the pillow I let Emmi tucks some polifil into it before sewing the gap enclosed.
Finally Barbie can sleep well.
Should I give my little this bed right now or let her wait until christmas?








My girl just had her first Barbie doll last week, and I started to collect tutorial to make Barbie's items. This one is so cool, I'll this to my Barbie tutorials collection

My daughters and I made this blanket and pillow tonight! Great idea and so simple to make. Now we need to make the bed next!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial!
@Jenn I´m very happy that you made these. Barbie things mustn´t always be expensive, huh? I bet that handmade simple barbie things can make our kids as so much excited as store-bought, sometimes more if kids can make them by their own
