Miss C wanted a canopy bed to go with her new fancy thrift store doll. We had the perfect sized boxes from canning tomatoes, and we found a tutorial on You-Tube by a 9 year old. Here is what we came up with.
The bottom of the bed is a fruit box turned upside down and covered with fabric. The sides and top are the box tops. We covered the top, left the ends alone. The mattress is a pillow (that fit perfectly) in an existing pillow case. Later we added curtains with tie backs. It's all put together with duct tape! Pink duct tape!
Miss C sewed the pillow herself on my machine. She's getting more comfortable, and with a "practice run" can do quite nicely.
Here's the finish. It was a perfect day-before-school-starts project. Miss C is excited to be starting 2nd Grade.

Gotta love some Duck tape, especially not that it comes in such smart colors! Your little one must be very happy to have a dolly bed that is so cute, especially one that the two of you made together! Good luck with 2nd grade!
