Tutorial: Childs 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 question.

Wood glue

$2.97

A nail gun or 1 1/2 in flat head nails

$2.98

120 grit sand paper

$3.97

Picture hanging wire

$3.48

(2) eye hook screws

$ .67 each

(2) shower pole sockets

$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

Command Metal and Plastic hooks (discretionary)

$6.97

(2) storage containers (discretionary)

(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)

Minwax Wipe on Poly

$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 bought a 3/4 inch thick sheet priced at $15/sheet. The more expensive the plywood sheet, the better the feature of wood. Looking back I might have spent a small more for better feature of plywood for ease in refinishing it, but the final product with the $15 plywood was fine.)
