Tutorial: Child's Dress-Up Wardrobe for $60

Around Christmas, (by the way, can anyone else believe it's February!!) I shared a post about our Very Merry Homemade/Thrifted Christmas.

In it, I showed a dress-up wardrobe that I made for Rhett. 


And today I FINALLY get to share the tutorial for how to make one your kiddos!

The full tutorial is being featured this week over at The Ivy Cottage. 


Here's a preview of what you'll find over at The Ivy Cottage!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To make your own dress-up wardrobe you will need the following items.
* All prices are before tax and each item is linked to a store to find it at *

(1) 2 feet x 4 feet sheet of plywood

(2) 22 3/4 in x 4 feet sheets of plywood

(2) 22 1/4 in x 22 3/4 in squares of plywood


One large sheet of plywood*, such as those sold at Home Depot or Lowes, will allow all of the cuts and pieces. They will also cut the wood to size for you. Just ask. :)



$3.97

$3.48

$ .67 each

$1.84

(1) 24in long 2in thick piece of PVC pipe cut to 22 inches (Home Depot will also cut this for you.)
$3.36

$6.97

(2) storage containers (optional)
(I got mine from the Dollar Store)

Paint/stain
(I used 1 8oz can of Minwax Stain in Gunstock for $4.98 and 2 Behr sample sizes of paint in Cranberry Whip for $3 each)

$9.96

2ft x 4ft of fabric
(I used a JoAnn's coupon and got my fabric for $5)

( *The plywood sheets come in different thickness and qualities. I purchased a 3/4 inch thick sheet priced at $15/sheet. The more expensive the plywood sheet, the better the quality of wood. Looking back I might have spent a little more for better quality of plywood for ease in refinishing it, but the final product with the $15 plywood was fine.)
