Hi guys!
It’s Cath.
Today I’m going to show you how to build this miniature little girl's bedroom.
it’s fully furnished with a play house style bed, custom bedding and artwork.
It even has these glow in the dark decals that adds a touch of whimsy.
Let’s get started.
To build a bed frame I’ll be using these 1/3 of an inch wide square dowels.
To cut them, I'll be using this trusty miter box and handsaw.
Cut out four 6.5” lengths, four 5.5” lengths, and two 5” lengths.
Take two of the 6.5” and two of the 5” lengths to form a rectangle.
I use ordinary wood glue for a super strong hold.
Attach each of the four 5.5” lengths vertically to each corner as a bedpost.
Then take the final two 6.5” long pieces and connect the posts on the long sides of
the rectangle.
For the triangular roofline , we'll need to make some angled cuts.
i use the same miter box to make a 45° angle cut.
Do this to both ends of one dowel.
The dowel should be 3.5 inches on the
long side and 3 inches on the short side.
Cut two of these and glue them together to form a 90° roof line.
These connect at the top shorter sides and pull the whole frame together.
Lastly, cut one final 6.5” length and glue it to the apex of each triangle.
Make sure to align this dowel with the angles of the roof.
You’ll need a miniature mattress next and I’ve linked my tutorial for a really easy
mattress and pillow.
For the custom bedding I’ll be using this 3-D fabric paint from Magicfly.
They sent me this box of 40 and that has pretty much every color.
It also has these stencils. I’ll be using this rainbow one for the comforter.
After picking out a few colors I take the included paintbrushes and I’m ready to create
custom bedding.
For the pillow, I use this stencil of a crown.
You can squeeze the paint straight onto the stencil, but I like to use a paintbrush for
a thinner coat.
Now I just stuff this pillow case with batting and sew it up.
Next, I take the 3-D paint in gold and add a drop to the tips of the crown.
Let me show you how to make a really fun cloud pillow.
On a piece of white fabric draw a simple cloud.
Double up the fabric and cut out the shape.
I sew it up leaving a small opening to flip it inside out.
Then stuff it with batting and sew up the opening.
Here I made a really big cloud for a floor pillow.
Fill it you and sew it shut.
On the smaller pillow, I use the black paint to draw a smiley face.
Add some pink cheeks and it’s complete.
In my other bed tutorial that I've linked, I show you how to make this square comforter.
Now I just I top stitch it for a finished look.
Let’s use this rainbow stencil.
I cut it out,
peel off the backing,
and place it in the center of the comforter.
I use the included brush to paint the colors on.
A tip for clean lines is the paint away from the stencil edge.
This shows you don’t get any pain under the stencil.
You can also mix paint colors to get the exact shade you’re looking for.
Now just peel off your stencil and your custom comforter is complete.
Fold it up and it’s ready to go on your mattress.
Before we do that let’s add a bit of a cord to the bedframe.
I take some white tulle, and cut out a 2foot strip thats 6inches wide.
Fold it in half and drape it over one side of the bed frame tie it to the bottom of the
bed with some small strips of tulle.
Place this bed into a plain room box and add on the comforter.
add on the fun pillows we made.
Here is a really easy way to make some original artwork for the walls.
On a White piece of fabric I draw a rainbow with the fabric paint.
Are use the same colors I used on the comforter for a cohesive look.
You can do this as many times as you need to until you get the look you like.
Now cut out the piece of art leaving extra fabric on the top and bottom.
With some fabric glue, I wrap the top fabric around a thin skewer.
Cut off access leaving a quarter inch of skewer on each side.
Do the same for the bottom.
Then with some more fabric glue as some thread on both sides of the top skewer.
And this allows you to hang your artwork.
For a really easy floor rug I take this beautiful pattern fabric.
However as you can see, this frays quite easily.
to prevent that I first trim all the edges.
Then I take a piece of parchment paper with the glossy side facing up.
Please the rug on top of it.
Now I simply run A line of fabric paint along the edges.
This will hold a special together and not let the threats free apart.
Appeal super easily off the parchment paper.
I placed this rug partially under the bed.
Here’s one more fun idea- using the glow in the dark fabric paint, draw a moon and
stars.
I like using the stencil for this part.
Once it’s dry, simply peel it off and stick it to the walls.
Did you guys have these on your walls growing up?
Now simply decorate the rest of the room with minis from my other videos.
That’s it!
This bedroom is all complete!
