American Girl Dog House



My oldest daughter asked me to make a dog house for her American Girl dog "Sugar".  With her birthday just around the corner, how could I say no?  Still don't have a table saw in my arsenal yet so this was all done by hand.

blueprint from my daughter
(note requisite sparkles)

wood from an old wine box
(knew there was a reason I saved that)

pieces cut out

glued together

painted and sparkly

all done!

I left the inside unpainted just to show the origins of the wood.  I think the wine box motif inside is kind of cool.  Hope she likes it!  You can see the other one I built for her little sister here.
