Doll car-For free!

American girl recently came out will a doll sized car for Julie's historical collection. It is absolutley adorable, and I wanted to buy it so badly! Unfortunetly, we all know it is going to cost a whooping amount of money, probably between 200-300 $. Since that is simply ridiculous, and I can not afford to spend that kind of money on one item, I made my own! I now have an american girl doll convertable! Check it out! Here is a front view:
And here is a view from the back:
I made the car using a cardboard box, packing tape, old bent castors from a rolling chair, spray paint and a few print-outs from the internet. It was pretty much free! Don't support american girl's outrageous prices. Make your own!

  2. I couldn't agree w/ you more, Anna! I really cannot see any parent consenting to buy a TOY CAR that would be a monthly payment on a REAL ONE. My Froggy Stuff also has a craft on how to make a doll car. I like yours too, Anna. You could probably make a windshield from the plastic from a window packing box. Just a thought.

  5. $350 is WAY too much for a doll car :P Thanks so much for these photos Anna! I'll probably end up making one of these if I ever need to use a car in a series! :D I love your 'do it yourself' outlook on everything :) It's lovely! :D

  8. Great idea! If you ever want a real doll car, I got an Our Generation pink Jeep for about 40$ for christmas. You could probably find one for sale somewhere if you don't want to pay lots of cash for an AG one!

  9. You're creativity is amazing, Anna! I love your YouTube and your blog, and I've seen all of your videos! You're my idol! I started making YouTube videos because of you! I also love your confidence that American Girl's prices cant rule our lives! Sometimes we just need to be creative and get out there and stand up for what we believe in! The car is so cute! A free car versus a 300 dollar car is so much better, and It has a piece of yourself in it. And it's more fun to say that you made this from scratch instead of saying yeah I bought this for 300 dollars! I love your blog and you're a true inspiration. Me and my friends love you! Thanks :)

  11. Actually, I think the car is more than 300 dollars, at least that's the price I saw. Way to recycle! Save the green!

  14. This is amazing, Anna!! For everyone who has trouble getting supplies to make this, you can instead get the Our Generation jeep. I've had mine for ages now, and it is still in really good condition. Considering how much Julie's car is, it is sooo cheap as well, but this homemade car is probably the cheapest AG car you can get. Great work, Anna!!
