Built: doll bunk beds
Painted in orange, again, with fresh fiesta inspired quilts:
This set of bunk beds will be going to my kids’ school auction, Fiesta is the theme so I made the bunk bed to coordinate!
It fits American Girl or any 18″ dolls, just climb the ladder McKenna:
Here’s how I made the bunk beds:
1. Using Ana White’s plans here, cut boards and construct:
2. Prime, paint two coats Glidden sunbaked orange.
Distress edges then seal clear satin poly:
3. Cut 3″ squares and stitch together.
Make quilt sandwich: backing, batting, top and pin together:
4. Quilt on the diagonal every other row:
5. Add binding, wash and dry.
Make pillows and pillowcases to match:
6. The mattresses are foam mattress topper cut to size wrapped with quilt batting.
Then cover – envelope pillow style – with white fabric:
Put it altogether and you have the cutest doll bunk beds:
And just for comparison here’s the ‘fiesta’ bunk beds next to the original orange:

I was just getting over the fact that you made the doll bunk beds yourself, and then I see that you sewed the quilts too! Crazy talented lady! Thanks for sharing them in the DIY Talent Parade.
This bunk set is beyond adorable!!! Where did you find such a great selection of fabrics? What is a set? I so enjoy looking at all of your projects.
