Materials: DUKTIG doll bed, paint, metal brackets, material & stuffing optional
Description: Name brand doll beds for the 18in dolls are expensive. I had already found the DUKTIG bed to be a great deal. As the doll collection expanded, so did the DUKTIG collection. Short on space in a room that the girls share, we decided the dolls needed bunkbeds. The beds will not stay on top of each other on their own so we used a metal bracket.
1) paint pieces (optional)
2) lay headboard & footboard on firm surface & hammer the bracket into place securing the two beds together.
3) assemble side rails
4) you can use the bedding provided or you can spruce it up.
~*~*~*~*~ a more skilled woodworker could drill holes in the top of one headboard/footboard and the bottom of the other, then use a dowel pin to secure the beds together. This would provide a seamless look, and allow the beds to be taken back apart into single units.

Great job! So cute. This is what we'll be doing if our doll collection ever expands. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat looks really good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing tips. I will have a go at making the bunkbed.
ReplyDeleteThey work great as our dog's bed too! Just put a round super soft dog bed on it!
