A small curved-end doll cradle — jigsaw-cut angled end panels, a cleated bottom shelf, and side boards that follow the ends' angle. Simpler and smaller than this catalog's doll crib.

Tools: Jigsaw, Pencil, Random Orbit Sander. Materials: 1x12, 24 in
Draw the curved-top pattern onto the 1x12 end panels, rounding corners to avoid sharp edges on a toy. While the boards are still square, mark the cleat location from the next step and mark the board's center for lining up the bottom shelf later. Cut carefully with a jigsaw and sand all rough edges.
Tools: Brad Nailer. Materials: 1x1 moulding or scraps, Brad nails or screws, 1-1/4", Wood glue
Attach the cleats to the inside of the end panels with 1-1/4" brad nails and wood glue, using your earlier marks to place them.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: 1x6, 5 ft, Wood glue
Attach the bottom shelf on top of the cleats with 2" countersunk screws and glue, or 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws if you have a jig, using your earlier center mark to line it up.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Random Orbit Sander. Materials: 1x6, 5 ft, Wood glue, Sandpaper, assorted grits
Attach the two side boards to the ends, letting them follow the angle already set by the end panels. Use 2" screws and glue. Sand thoroughly and finish with a kid-safe paint or clear coat.
