You'll have fun making these projects and the little ones in your life will gain so much from helping and then playing! #MyRepurposeLife #repurposed #furniture #projects #kids #children #repurposedfurnitureprojects via @repurposedlife

    I've put together an awesome collection of Kids Furniture Projects made from unwanted items easily found at thrift stores or maybe in your own basement or garage! You'll love making these doll beds, benches, desks and more as much as your kids will love using them.

    DIY Doll Furniture

    This small bench for dolls or children is actually made from repurposed cabinet doors. Throw in a few pieces of scrap wood plus odd legs and you have the perfect weekend project to make for the kids.

    Here’s a fun project making a doll bed with scrap wood and chair spindles. Your little one will get years of fun, and you get the satisfaction of knowing you made it just for them.

    Making a fun doll bench out of an old door isn’t as difficult as it may sound. This would be great in your child’s room, or even in a hallway if you’re a grown-up girl who still collects dolls.

      What a lovely collection of ideas Gail and I'm amazed by all the creativity that went into them all. I'll never look at an old, scrappy piece of furniture in the same ways again. Thank you

        Thank you Michelle! I love cutting up any and all furniture. I like to look at furniture in magazines and then imagine how I could make it out of the junk I have in my stash. 🙂
