American Girl Diner Part 1: Paper Hats & Guest Checks

We really hope we are not boring anyone with our 50’s themed crafts!  We are all in for Maryellen.  The kids and I are having a blast preparing for when we bring Maryellen home.  We have Googled outfits (for us and the dolls), stopped by a few diners, watched a few TV shows (those were funny!) and we are so, so, so excited!  I think the crafts for this doll may go on forever!  Anyways, one of our big projects for Maryellen is replicating our own American Girl Diner!  That’s right!  There are so many cool things that go with a diner and that is why we have decided to break up this project into a series.  I can’t say how many parts there will be yet, but if you have any specific requests please leave a comment below and we will try to work them into the series!

American Girl Diner Series:

Part 1: Paper Hats & Guest Check Printables

Part 2: Menu Printables

Part 5: Diner Table

Materials Needed:

  1. American Girl Diner Hat Printable
  2. American Girl Diner Checks Printable
  3. Scissors
  4. Tape or Glue Stick

TIPS:

  • We used card stock for the guest checks so they feel more like the real thing.
  • We used regular printer paper for the hats so they feel like the real thing too.
  • That’s it!  This is a super easy craft that all ages should enjoy!

Watch & leave your requests below.

    With the Guest Checks, you could also line them up at the top in a stack, then clip them together using those big binder clip paper clips- they are black with metal, then use rubber cement to glue the top of the checks together. Once dry, they will easily tear off from the top as you use them, just like the real thing!

    You should REALLY (and I mean REALLY) get Doll Dining! It has how to make all this food for your diner, hat, apron and to get you started on your own diner (or any other restaurant). Just thought maybe I’d suggest it!

    I’m AGlvr just changed my name!
