The TV stand is just too cute!  Who knew it was so easy?  If you missed the post on how to make it, go to American Girl TV Stand.  If you haven’t already thought of it yourself, you are going to kick yourself once you see it!

Now that I have my TV, I need some DVDs to go with it.  The girls need plenty of choices to choose from on movie night right?  I just need to make sure I have my pictures ready to change the scenes.

To make the DVD’s, it’s very simple.  Watch the video below or follow the easy steps given.

How to Make the American Girl TV

Materials Needed:

DVD Printables 1
DVD Printables 2
DVD Printables 3
DVD Printables 4
Scissors
Black Foam Sheet
Packing Tape

Step 1:

Cut out all of your printables and have them ready.

Step 2:

Cut the black foam sheet into 2 1/4 x 1 3/4 rectangles.  This will be your DVD case.

Step 3:

Have a piece of tape ready to use.  Wrap a DVD cover on the black foam rectangle.  You want the black edges to show a little bit, just like on a real DVD.  Place the tape around the center so it overlaps where it started.

      Can you please tell me the measurements of the DVD covers. They are not printing right. Also would like to do some other movie covers. My granddaughters love nightmare before Christmas. Frankenweenie etc. I would love the size used so I can print some other covers. Thank you

      if you are on a laptop when you push it there will be a printer on the right and then select how many copies and it should work

      I have been trying to print these DVDs and cannot get them to print. What can you suggest all it does is save and then I can’t open the file

      I did that craft yesterday and I found that tracing the printables on cardboard or foam works too ?

      How did you make the printables? I was hoping to make a few of my daughter’s favorite movies.

      Rudy, thanks so much for the info. However I still can’t print them.
      I even had our IT guy try. We don’t have those directives when we open your document. Can you tell me what the scale is? Maybe I can get them to print that way. If not would you be willing to get them in another format so I can print or print them and mail them to me. I will pay for postage, paper and your time. Thanks so much.

      Hey everyone and anyone. I’ve tried multiple times to print the DVD covers and each time they print to small. All the covers are on one page. How or what do I need to do to get them to print larger enough for the project?

      Thanks.
      Clara

          You need to go to your printer settings. In print preview click show details, and then click scale to fit, then select fill entire page. That will give you the full site of this print out.

      Hi, Rudy, great tutorial. When I did mine several months ago, I used shrink wrap plastic..left over from winterizing the windows, and it worked great. The girls love them!

      Allison, you could go through the sale papers and find a picture of a remote, cut it out and tape it to some black foam .
