The American Girl Diner Stools are such a quick and easy craft! Every diner needs stools and I love how you can customize them to match the diner you are making for your dolls. I feel that with the 50’s style diner, chrome accents are a must. So, you will see more chrome spray paint in this video. I never checked the hobby store, but if there is a chrome model paint I would probably use that over spray paint. These have been tested and so far (about a week now) they have no scratches on them. Hopefully it stays that way. If not, it’s an easy fix.
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
Part 6: American Girl Diner Stools
Materials Needed:
- Popsicle Holders
- Hot Glue Gun & Sticks (*I went through four mini glue sticks)
- Spray Paint (*I used a Chrome Spray Paint)
- Batting (*I prefer the sheets as they are easier to work with)
Tips:
- I ordered my popsicle holders from Amazon because I love convenience. However, I know you can find them at grocery stores, Walmart, and even craft stores during the summer time.
- My scrap book paper came from Michaels.
- The vinyl I used is the same vinyl I used on my booths from Joanns. You can substitute vinyl with a duct tape sheet.
Watch & tell us if you will be adding stools to your diner!

Love the diner ,plus. I’m making it for my grandkids for Christmas
Can you PLEASE make plans for building Maryellen’s Diner? I would LOVE it if my dad and I could build it! I saw Maryellen’s Diner I stores, and I loved it! However, there is NO way I can get $275, and then spend it all on a Doll Set! I hope you can build one out of wood and post the plans for it!
I made mini doll stools out of baby food jars.
My granddaughter’s are so in love with Maryellen & Her Diner – I just wanted to let you know, that you have outdone yourself, with the Diner plans & Accessories! How Fun! We will be adding these to our doll house!
Where did u get the coke bottle
Those are from Hobby Lobby. They were originally magnets and on sale they are $1.99 each ?
You can find them near the “man cave” section
Thank you Rudy. If anybody wants to make their stool with round seats you need a to cut the vinyl in a circle. I am going to cover my OG seats this way
