Doll Closet

My daughter is obsessed with 18" dolls. Her goal is to eventually save up enough money to buy an American Girl doll, but for now she has the 18" dolls from places like Target and Toys R Us. She not only loves her dolls, but she loves to dress her dolls, which means we have an abundance of doll clothes. She had a big bag that she kept all of the clothes in but it was really hard for her to find specific outfits because she would have to dump the whole bag out to search through it. So I decided to make a little closet for all of her doll clothes!

I went to a thrift store and found an old cupboard. Luckily it was in really good condition, and it was already white which is the color I wanted it to be. And it was only $15! I took it home and cleaned it up really good, then cut some vinyl using our Silhouette machine. I put the vinyl on the doors to make it look cute and girly.

The next thing I did was add a bar inside for the clothes to hang on. I also got some little baskets to put the shoes in at the bottom of the closet. For the hangers, I got children hangers at Target and then used gardening sheers and cut them so they were the right size for the doll clothes.

(I hadn't put many clothes in the closet yet when I took this picture)

 I think it turned out pretty cute! My daughter loves it and it definitely helps keep her doll clothes more organized!
