How To Make a Loft bed for your American Girl doll house with Cardboard and a little imagination!

Well with cardboard that I got from Sam's Club I knew there was a project that I could make and since I was short on beds and was making a new dollroom I put my creative thinking cap on.
 Here is the box
 Then I cut it down to size
 I measured a piece of foam board that I would use for the legs.
 I scored the middle so that the legs would be like corner edges.


Here are the 4 legs cut and scored.

I slit each corner of the box and slid the legs through and secured them with glue.  I then added some more foam board and glued them in place also for extra support.

Here I am measuring the doll for head space.

I then cover the box and legs with contact paper.

The mattress has been added.

Here is the finished bed in place.  A nice addition to our doll room.
