Grace’s Bakery Shelf

If you are following along with us in the project of Grace’s Bakery, you might want to get your tools out and ready!  Here is another piece to add to the collection.  It is Grace’s Bakery Shelf that hangs on the wall.  It has an open front and shelves to store dishes, ingredients, or yummy treats.  The only thing tricky about this project is cutting the face to match the authentic American Girl one.  That’s okay though because I provided you with a printable that will guide you.

As always, once you are done creating this, spackle, sand and paint!  The real one is white an it has a black design on it. You can create the design with a black paint marker.
