How to make a bedside table/night stand from a box . . .

Left, see how our doll displays her possessions inside of the bedside table.
Her lamp, phone and Pretty Pony are on top of the table. Center, details 
of the table shelves. Right, viewing the side table from above.

       To craft the bedside table, I started this project with a box. I cut off the front of the box, trimming the edges carefully. Then using  white school glue and masking tape I inserted the shelving. At the top, I cut and measured for a single drawer and glued on one pearl finished bead for a handle. Then I designed a template and traced around it for the top of the table and also for the bottom footing. After all of the surfaces were decoupaged with white typing paper, I chose the use a decorative paper to layer inside of the shelves. This is where our doll stores her school books and displays her trinkets.
