Kids Dress-Up Wardrobe

Beautiful kids dress-up wardrobe! Build your own dress up storage to organize all of those princess dresses and dress up outfits!

If you have a little one that likes to dress-up, you're going to love this next DIY! We are already thinking about Christmas, and wanted to make some of the gifts for our kids this year. Our five year old, who loves to dress up in anything and everything, doesn't have any dress up storage worthy of a princess, so we built her a new dress-up wardrobe!

We decided to build this for our daughter for Christmas, but it could work for girls, boys, toddlers, etc. And it would be a great gift for birthdays too!

Or just build it for mom! My kids leave dress up stuff all over the floor while they are digging through bins for the perfect dress or pair of shoes, because they just can't see it all. This little dress-up storage unit is a life-saver for me because it organizes everything for them and makes play and clean-up easier. Everything has a home - and a pretty home at that!

Pocket-Hole Joinery

Almost every one our builds includes pocket hole joinery, including this one! If you've never heard of pocket holes, it's basically a way to have your wood pieces attach by drilling into the board through an angled hole. It allows you to hide your joinery and gives you a strong connection between the two pieces.

We have Kreg's K5 Master System and we love it. I can honestly say that we use it on almost all of our builds because it's so practical (& affordable!).

On this build, we use the pocket hole jig to build the frame of the MDF cabinet. A simple way to join all of the sides and keep it strong for all of the kids that are going to climb, pull, and hang on this guy in the future, lol.

How to Build A Kids Dress-Up Wardrobe

If you have some woodworking skills, this will probably be a fairly simple build for you. It's an MDF frame, held together by pocket holes with a hardboard backing, and MDF cabinet doors.

We added our own dowel rod, but you can also buy a small adjustable rod and add that in to make it even easier!

The part of the build that could be more complicated if you've never done it before, is adding your own cabinet hinges. We also used the concealed hinge jig to add the hinges for the doors. It's a quick and easy way to find the correct placement for your hinges, and makes it extremely fast and easy to add them on! If you've never used a concealed hinge jig here's a quick video about it:
