Hospital Beds...and more

-
I have started to re vamp my hospital as I brought an ambulance ...OK so I had an ambulance so needed an A&E department.


Yes, my ambulance had a small re-do!
Ground floor of the hospital has the cafe


Consultants office


 Toilets and lift to the other floors


Reception and the entrance to the Emergency department

 I'm still working on this section the actual A&E department. These are the beds I had from the old wards and I need to re do them. 


Now the other beds are hospital beds that I will be using for the hospital wards. The trouble is they are very low to the ground


Even by adding a mattress they are still to low.


So this is where my conundrum starts.... how do I make the legs longer?


I'm using what's called 'Straw Pipe Kits'



































I have worked out how to make them taller. But now need some little wooden dowels to level out the legs. I also think I will spray them white when/if I even finish AND I need side bars to keep them from wobbling. The bed on the right was taller anyway so did not take much to adjust.

Below is a Sindy hospital bed, you can find them on E.Bay for about £30 including the hospital.

 OK, so might be a bit early for this but mine came yesterday and... yes I opened it! I found mine on Amazon UK £19.99. I love the artwork, but not but not very winter/Christmasy? Now as it says on the box you can get 2, 3 or 4 babies in the box... I only got two! There are 30 items shown on the box including six dolls.  Some are new items but most are from other collections.  Definitely a beach vibe. New items are the three pairs of sun glasses, beach towel, Fur heart, and the fluffy cloud is bigger than the one that came with the Valentine sets.  Then there is the umbrella that came in the pool set...well we get the umbrella but not the pool? I guess you can lay the baby on the towel and use it that way? Don't forget to check out my Facebook groups...

I have a TON of doll clothing and after years of rummaging through bags and never finding what I'm looking for or even remembering what I have so I thought it was time I made some quick, simple and cheap storage.  The cheapest is to use a doll box and just fit a bar for hanging but I wanted something just a little more so this is what I came up with.... You will need Foamcore board I used 5mm thick board 60cm x 84cm Foam 2 Foam glue You can use any glue but this works best I think Ruler Tape measure Pencil Something sharp to cut with (craft knife Cutting board I have a big board but a smaller one would work Metal ruler if possible (Helps with cutting a straight line)  The rods are the metal rods from the Integrity Doll stands. They are great as they are adjustable.  All of the above can be found on E.Bay or craft stores I'm giving you the sizes I use but you can make your units any size you wish. Measure 40cm longways mark and cut put other piece of b...
