Doll Crib Plans

This step by step diy woodworking project is about doll crib plans. If you want to learn more about building a wooden doll crib, we strongly suggest you to pay attention to the instructions and diagrams that are featured in this article. Work with good judgement and invest in high-quality materials, such as pine, cedar or redwood, as they have both a nice finish and are durable.

There are many designs and plans to choose when building a nice doll crib, so make sure you take a look over several alternatives before starting the actual assembly. Adjust the design and the size of the doll crib to suit your needs before starting the actual assembly of the project. Enhance the rigidity of the joints by adding a good wood glue. Don’t forget to remove the excess with a dump cloth before it dries out. See all my Premium Plans HERE.

Building a doll crib

Building the sides of the crib

The first step of the woodworking project is to build the sides of the doll crib. As you can easily notice in the plans, we recommend you to mark the cut lines on the 1×12 slats and to get the job done with a jigsaw.

Smooth the edges with sandpaper and remove the residues with a cleaner. Work with attention and repeat the process for the opposite side of the doll bed.  

Fitting the bottom of the crib

Next, we recommend you to attach the bottom to the doll crib. Cut the bottom at the right size and drill pocket holes along both sides of the component. Attach the bottom to the sides and secure them into place using 1 1/4″ screws.

Fitting the side supports

Continue the project by attaching the 1×2 supports to the both sides of the doll crib. As you can easily notice in the plans, we recommend you to drill pocket holes at both ends and to secure them to the frame by using 1 1/4″ galvanized screws.

Top Tip: Leave no gaps between the components and add glue to enhance the joints. Check if the corners are square before inserting the screws into place. 

Fitting the balusters

Next, you need to attach the balusters to the sides of the doll crib. As you can easily notice in the plans, we recommend you to build the balusters out of 1×2 lumber. Select quality lumber before building the components.

Top Tip: Drill pocket holes at both ends of the balusters and secure them to the supports using 1 1/4″ screws. Add glue to the joints and remove the excess using a damp cloth.

Doll crib plans

One of the last steps of the woodworking project is to take care of the finishing touches. Therefore, fill the pilot holes with wood putty and smooth the surface with 120-grit sandpaper.

Top Tip: If you want to enhance the look of the woodworking project, we recommend you to cover the wooden components with carpet. Place the doll bed in a proper location and move it whenever necessary.
