DIY Kids Furniture Projects

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.

Kids Desks -- Make it Yourself

Maybe you have a regular sized desk, but you need a desk for your child? This desk suffered water damage, which made it the perfect candidate for downsizing it for kids. What little boy or girl wouldn’t love to have a camouflage desk?

Mindi used cabinet doors to make a desk for her boys. Using reclaimed and repurposed components really cuts down on the price of  great DIY furniture projects for kids.
