Hello Dolly!

"Hello, Dolly, well, hello, Dolly.

It's so nice to have you back where you belong.

You're looking swell, Dolly,

we can tell, Dolly...."

Sorry, I just got caught up in the moment!

This week at Dutch Dare, the challenge is: 

For The Kids-It can be anything for a kid.

Have lots of fun with this. As you can see I did!  I LOVED paper dolls as a kid! They were my favoritist!

(That's a word!) LOL! I could play for hours dressing them up. I would cut clothes out of magazines too! So this was a blast from my past and they were soooooo

much fun to make. 

I made these paper dolls for an adorable set

of twins in our congregation. They are girlie girls and will have loads of fun with these. I made two dressers to hold the dolls and five fun dresses a piece. One girl loves pink and the other loves purple.

I am still working with my coloring. I was able to do most of it by myself, but since it was so much skin, I was having trouble making it come to life. So with just a swish swish here & a swish swish there, Dorcas did her thing with her prismacolor pencils & these girls came to life! Thank You Girlfriend!

 These Paper Dolls were a freebie by Mo Manning from Paper Craft Planet. She is offering her in her store, Just slightly different.

All the dresses are paper pieced

 

 Made the stands myself- Cut out half circles with a

Nestie, attached to doll, put slits on bottom, then insert a strip of paper folded in half (to make a triangle shape)

 There are several templates out there for the sidestep dresser. I watched Jackie's video to get the concept

and used Dorcas' measurements because she uses  6x6 which is what I like. 

 

They are velcroed to the dresser and of course they match their dresser because what girl does not want to match their dresser? LOL!
