How to Make a Doll Pet Hospital

I started making this doll pet hospital a long time ago. It was before we got Grace’s French Bakery to be exact! That’s crazy to think I started this so long ago and was never able to finish. Recently several requests came in for this exact project and got me thinking about the plans I had already made for it. I even cut it out, just never glued it together! So, here it is finally!

This vet is a really small piece. In fact, I think it would work best with Wellie Wishers. As always I made a few slight adjustments, but for the most part it’s very similar to Pottery Barns retired doll pet hospital. I think it works best as a check in counter and maybe a place to show the patients their x-rays. Other than that, I think it needs some expansion. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great piece to have and I think it adds a lot to a doll vet scene! I am hoping we can add more in the future. Maybe a vet/grooming salon combination!

A lot of people are messaging me asking about the doll scrubs. I got the set that Lea is wearing from Amazon. The exact link is below. You can click on the picture. I also added a few others of difference colors and price points.

Watch and tell us what you think!

 TIPS-

  • Since this project is a two tones color scheme, I painted the foam board pieces before gluing them. It’s much easier to paint it this way and spray painting foam board is really easy.
  • In the video I added the front swinging doors last. I actually recommend adding them during step 1. It will be much easier to slide the skewers into the foam board. Just slide the doors into place before you add the top post support across the top. I did explain it in the video.
  • You can make this project out of wood. You will need to make a few adjustments like using hinges for the doors. Other than that it’s pretty much the same just different materials. Instead of hot glue you will be using wood glue and pinning it or screwing it depending on your preference.
  • When cutting foam board I always recommend using FoamWerks tools. They will give you a clean cut every time!

    Purple crayon: It looks like it is spelled wrong but it isn’t when you are talking about more than one calf it is spelled calves, It’s like the word leaf when your talking about more than one its leaves. Anyway good observation.

    The frame looks very much like the doorway in one of the other videos. You know, the one you put the Christmas wreath on?

    I just wanted to know if you could make some ty’s out of pom poms and sparkly goggly eyes. My dolls need more toys to play with!! I did make some adorable build-a-bears for them but that is all they have….. sooooo……. yeah. That would be great!!!
