My Doll Pets

You may have noticed in some of my posts that I have 2 pets for my dolls. In this post I'll tell you a little bit about these furry friends!
First we have Coconut. Coconut is an American Girl pet, but an older version. The only difference between my Coconut and the one being sold now is the collar. my Coconut has a purple and blue collar and the other one has a pink and orange one.

My other pet is just a regular stuffed rabbit. I named her Nutmeg because she reminds me of Julie's rabbit. She is a gingery color and soft.

I made the bow in her hair out of ribbon.

Doll Bunkbed I made

I have seen so many great ideas for cardboard doll beds so I decided to give it a try. If you want to make my doll bunk bed you need:
* two long water bottle boxes
* paint
* hot glue and hot glue gun
* four paper towel or toilet paper rolls
* ribbon (optional)

Your finished bed will look like this.

Emily and Kit are already napping on it!

First, hot glue your paper towel rolls to the corners of a box. Then, hot glue the other box on top. Last, paint your bed with what ever colors you like. Make sure your paint is dry before you put your dolls in the bed.
