Making an American Girl Doll Bunk Bed

 This is the first time I have ever worked with power tools and it was a great experience. 

I used this tutorial http://www.attemptingaloha.com/2011/11/diy-canopy-doll-bed-its-done.htmland found it very easy to understand and manageable.

I bought my wood. Cut it with a small saw and then jigsawed the headboards. 

Then started the construction. 

I found it easier not to use wood glue and just use nails. 

 After a few hours, two beds were completed. 

The beds cost around $12 to make (I did have the paint)

and the bedding around $12 as well (all from Hobby Lobby) 

 The bedding was my favorite!
