American Girl Doll TV

American Girl Doll TV • DIY Project

To give you some background on this project that my daughter and I did together, we purchased the Our Generation Inflatable sleeping bag set and loved it.  As pictured below, it came with a nice cushy sleeping bag, a journal, a flashlight, a yummy bowl of popcorn, and a DVD.  My daughter and I were playing with the popcorn and DVD one day and we both thought it would be fun for the dolls if they could have a sleepover with multiple DVD choices.  Of course, if the girls are going to watch movies, they need a TV to watch them on!

My first thought was to craft one.  So I headed out to Michaels craft store to see what I could find.  When I got there I was discussing this project with a store worker and she suggested I get the pedestal picture frame!  How brilliant.  Not only is it the perfect size, but you can interchange the movie scenes you want to have playing.

I also love the chevron pattern it comes with.  It looks just like a static page!  These were priced at $2 and I had a 40% off Michael’s coupon that brought it down even more.

    Love this. Made ours and several for friends too! Any good ideas on how to make a remote or something to print to make one similar to how you make the DVDs?

    My daughter is wondering if you can make printable tv screen scenes to match the dvd selection. Thank you for your wonderful ideas and help.

    You can enter a search engine for any topic you wish (including scenes from movies) on the “images” portion of the search engine. For instance, enter “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” and click on “images”. Lots of them will show up (some will be copyrighted). Pick one, save it to your computer, and then use your print options. You will even be able to size the picture to the frame’s dimensions. Print. Voila!!

    Thank you so much for your post! Went to Micheals today and found the frame. Love that it is double sided. Printed 2 different pictures for my daughers “TV” and she loves it! How did you make the tiny dvds?

    I am going to Michael’s tomorrow afternoon! This is a wonderfully fun idea. Thank you for sharing! My granddaughter & I made a piano during our last visit using a 20″ x 20″ square black poster board. Her Papa helped us with some of it. We bought the AG school kit from Michael’s and set up a school room in the AG dollhouse that her Gramps built for her last year. So fun!
