Vintage Paper Doll Art


Hello Friends!
Hello beautiful spring weather!
Just dropping by to share what I've been up to in my craft room the past few days.
I've been creating
Vintage Paper Doll Art
with scrapbook paper!
A little change from fabric!
Great fun for a Vintage Birthday Party!
 Simply made from scrapbook paper scraps, ribbon and embellishments !
 Frame your creations with  12 X 12 Scrapbook frames.
A great addition for bare walls in craft rooms, girls room etc.
I added a few quotes.
"Happy people are the fizz in the soda of life."

 
I plan to make a few for my daughter's room, except we will use a lot of  PINK!
Come along and make some, they are fun!
Especially great for crafting with your daughters!

I used black easels and black tulle to display the 12 X 12 pages.
Let's get started!
All you need is:
Polka Dot Scrapbook paper, paper scraps,  glue dots, embellishments 
and a little imagination!

I simply cut a 12 X 12 sheet of scrapbook paper in half, which gives you two skirts!

I folded the paper accordion style like a fan and now you have a skirt!
I used glue dots on each end of skirt.
Pinch and move paper to form a waist line as shown below.


cut one 3 X 3 inch square, fold in half, cut to form a bodice front.
I did a scalloped edge on the sleeve.
Now you are ready to embellish and add a few accessories!
If you have broken jewelry chains, this works great for the purse!
I used micro tiny buttons found at Michaels.


You are finished and ready for the party!
Have Fun!

Life's not a dress rehearsal
Go knock 'em dead!

Don't forget a few Party Favors.!


I made black and white polka dot flower pins with a little tulle for a vintage look.
You can pin them to scarves, purses, shirts, just about anywhere!

CELEBRATE!
Thanks for visiting!
Enjoy!

Thanks for such a great idea! I'm going to try them for an upcoming bridal shower. Would you mind telling me what the "corsage" in the top photo is made from? Thank you again for the inspiration!

Hi Teala,

The corsage flower is made from the same scrapbook paper as the skirt. What great fun for a Bridal Shower! Thanks for visiting!
