American Girl Doll Kitchen Counter DIY

American Girl put together a Maryellen scene with an adorable kitchen counter. It had her cookie cutter set in it and her retro fridge. I loved it! They always put together great scenes for their website and catalogues using pieces that they don’t sell and we take notice! A friend of mine made the kitchen counter with three wooden dressers from Michaels. I saw it and thought, it’s so cute I must make it too! My version is just using foam board and it’s a very easy craft. If you are wanting to start learning how to craft with foam board, this is the perfect starter project. Also, it goes well with the DIY Gourmet Kitchen. They fit flush together. So, this can be an addition to the kitchen. If you are using them together, I suggest making the counter tops the same to match.  Watch the video below for the step by step.

Materials Needed:

• 1/2″ Foam Board @ 20” x 30” *You can use regular thickness, but 1/2″ will be sturdier
• 1/8” Foam Board @ 5” x 7”
• FoamWerks Deluxe Cutting Kit
• Hot Glue
• Craft Paint
• Chrome Corrugated Scrap Book Paper *Optional
