The Making of a Little Wooden Bed

The making of a little wooden dolls bed...  not quite as easy as it looked, especially as I didn't have all the right 'ingredients' and tools for the job.  Hopefully the next one I make will be a bit better (or preferably a LOT better!)  To say this first bed is a little 'squew wiff' is an understatement!




Martha lends an expert hand to measure up





After this stage I painted it, but must have forgotten to take a photo of it just painted.


I ended up making two mattresses as the first was a little short.


Martha shows Clipper the progress so far.


Today (Saturday) I made a pillow, pillowcase and two sheets.


The bed almost finished.  I want to make a little blanket and then patchwork quilt for the top.

  1. I love it! What a clever idea. I find that those wooden clothes pins are handy for all sorts of things.

    1. Thank you, it was fun to make even if a little frustrating that I didn't have the right tools. Hopefully the next one will be better!

    1. Thank you Dorothy. You are so sweet. This little bed is for Clipper, Martha wants a slightly larger and 'new improved' version ;)

    1. Thank you Nita. It was fiddly but fun to make. Hopefully the next one I make will be better. I might see if I can find some better tools to use to make it so the cuts are a bit straighter!
