Just a while ago, I got a question about my American Girl doll's Attic I made for the Photostory I did a few years ago, The Adventure in the Attic. (Thanks Hannah!) I wanted to share on how I made it, because it's super easy and you could make it for your doll too!
Ta-da! What I did was look up pictures of wood on the computer and printed out about 12 sheets of paper. Then I cut out the papers to all fit on the bottom of my door. To make the floor of the attic I used some left over cardboard my dad had. It was a lot of fun! You could also print out other patterns to make wallpaper for your doll's room! :)
Have you ever made anything fun for your dolls? I would love to know your ideas!
Hey Liz!!!
FIRSTIE!!!!!!! Once I made 2 doll beds(i am letting my sister use one right now!!!),one was made with the Molly's 2 pack activity thingy. I first removed the cardboard paices(i don't know what to use them 4.anyideas???There are 4 of them)then i put ALOT of stuffing where the cardbourd peices were and then i put a small blanket over the box.

PS~I know about the cardboard pieces you're talking about, but I forget what they look like! How big are they? :)

I love making things for my doll (even though I don't have much time to)! One of my favorite things I have made for my doll is little duct tape purses! They are SO cute! To make them, take two sticky notes and tape them together (this is the purse). Then, decorate it with the outside with duct tape. Finally, take some duct tape, roll it up into a long string, and attatch it for a handle. Now your doll has a new purse. I hope you like my idea!

P.S. Sorry if my directions are really hard to understand, I'm bad at explaining things. : )

I made a postcard from Kanani's story and the digital photo frame from Kanani's story.

My dad recently made Kanani's Shave Ice stand and it looks just like the real thin only blue! And he bought all the materials for about $15 instead of paying $110 on American Girl

Hi Liz!
The attic photostory was so cute! I love reading your creative ways you do with your dolls. :)
I also noticed that you had an AG poster hanging on your door. Was from the summer issues of the AG magazine? And if so, which year was it? Thanks Liz!
