Project #78: Fashion paper dolls
Fashion paper dolls by Teri from Giddy Giddy
What You’ll Need:
*Card stock paper
*Recycled magazines
*Scissors or xacto knive
Step 1: 8x12 white card stock paper. (60 pound to 90 pound paper works just fine) Fold paper in half.
Step 2: Draw the silhouette of a fully dressed doll/girl on 1/2 of the paper. The idea is to create a dress that is large enough to serve as a blank canvas. (paper dolls samples)
Step 3: Now using xacto knife (or scissors) cut out the dress, legs, shoes and even hair.
Step 4: Next, find patterns and colors in a magazine that can then be chopped into squares, rectangles and strips. ( Fashion magazines and photography magazines are a great source for interesting patterns. )
Step 5: Now experiment and start to arrange the bits of paper inside your new DIY fashion plate and see what incredible fashion ideas you can create!
Ahh!! These are perfect.

My daughter will LOVE these. And I have to admit...I will too. I think we'll have such fun together. I found these cute little retro girls following your google paper doll link. http://moosaidthemama.blogspot.com/2010/11/more-paper-dolls-handmade-holiday.html
