Welcome to my lens on Fun with Paper Dolls...

Paper dolls take me way back to when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I remember how excited I was to receive a book with these beautiful paper dolls. The dolls themselves where actually made of a light cardboard that you could make stand up with these little cardboard stands. The book had pages and pages of beautiful paper clothes that you cut out or tore out along perforated lines. I remember I had so much fun with paper dolls, spending hours on my bedroom floor with a friend or my little sister. Dressing them up and changing there looks. Paper dolls are still popular with little girls today, only now there are so many different styles and types available. From vintage, to cute baby dolls and everything in between. I will share some great sites and information on paper dolls with you in this lens!

    I still have lots of fun creating fashion diva paper dolls with my "little sister". We're both adults now, but we'd like to go into the paperdoll business, making and selling our own paperdolls. I'm glad to hear that they're still popular with the kids nowdays!

    I've even started a story about a girl who makes "paper doll trends". She's into fashion, but before she makes the clothes for herself, she makes the outfit for her paperdoll and posts pictures up to get everyone else's opinion on the outfit. After I've gotten enough paperdoll fashions created and enough feedback from fans, I'm going to turn all the trends into actual paper dolls & paper clothes for people to buy.

    I guess you could say it's a paperdoll trend that the fans get to help fashion. It's silly, but it's fun! I hope other people can have as much fun helping Krissy fashion her paperdoll trends as I am having making them!

    We would cut out the people from the Sears catalog and the furniture to play paper dolls with. I'll lensroll this to my paper dolls lens.

    Oh, yes, paper dolls are economic and portable and as suited to solitary play as 'play dates'. Mine was a paper doll childhood. (Just finished writing about those paper doll days, and am browsing the pages that showed up in the discovery too.)l.

    I used to love cutting paper dolls out of the back of Jack and Jill magazine.

    I love the paper doll stamp.
