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 3: Paper Food Tray Printables
Part 4: Diner Booths
Part 5: Diner Table
Materials Needed:
- American Girl Diner Hat Printable
- American Girl Diner Checks Printable
- Scissors
- 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!

Hi, I'm Rudy! I'm a young mom of three beautiful kids, two girls and one boy. Our life is busy and full of crafts, especially for our American Girl Dolls. We love working together to create new things and we hope you enjoy our creations also!
This is Launa Loofers. She is crazy all the time and is an amazing gymnast. In fact, we started this blog on her ideas for her dolls to be gymnasts just like her! 
This is my handsome little man. He is the only boy in this house full of girls and dolls. He is a good sport though. He loves his 'boy American Girl dolls' and his action figures. And is always right in the mix of craft time creations!
Lexie is full of fun and always has a smile on her face. She is the youngest, but don't let that fool you, she has a BIG opinion!
I like it alot
what do I do
Hooray! I love your blog! My daughter and I made the seaside diner, and we are using your diner printables. So cute! Thank you! I will post the finished diner on my blog shortly. fakingitmostly.com
I will link back here. 🙂
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!
Such a great idea!
What is “doll dining”? A book or a link? Those guest checks are so realistic.great job
Thank you Rudy!!
Thank you so very much!
Thank you for the wonderful printables!
areyou going to build an actual dinner out of wood or something?
please replicate some of samantha’s sets
We are going to make everything that goes into a diner and put it all in one of our larger doll rooms!
I would totally make this but don’t have anymore room:(
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!
