Viola’s Button Bed
Button Bed
One of the workshops I attended when I was in the Ozarks taught us how to make a doll’s bed by stringing buttons on wire.
I waited till I got home to actually assemble the bed – isn’t it cute? I used wood buttons, including the big painted wooden ones at the head and foot-boards – Viola likes it!

What a creative idea. It looks great.
It was fun to attend the workshop, though I had inadvertently left my buttons at home, so I had to wait to actually construct it. I do like the result very much, and wish I had photographed some of the other variants!
Beautifully done and inspirational too!
Thank you very much. It was a fun project, and required little energy, which was useful as the Dreadful Lurgy hasn’t decamped yet.
oh so charming! The wooden buttons are really nice. Viola will sleep peacefully.
It worked out really well – Viola is delighted with it, though I am detecting shy hints about bedding now…
Wonderful bed!, Are you allowed to share the dimensions? Viola does look very happy with her bed.
I am glad you like it! I would say make the bed platform a bit longer and a bit wider than your doll, and the legs and head and foot-boards as long or short as pleases you. For more specific dimensions and instructions you’d have to ask Janet directly.
Thank you. 🙂
What a great idea! I’ve just recently found your blog. Your dolls are so beautiful!
Kiitos …I love your blog too!
