Paper Doll Ideas

I recently came across a box of paper dolls that Emma used to play with. There's something so inviting about them peeking out from the box. I think I need to cover their box with some pretty fabric/trim and introduce them to Josie.

For any of my friends who subscribed to Mary Engelbreit’s Home Companion magazine, you have to agree that her paper dolls were one of the neatest features included with each issue.

Anyways, I went searching for additional paper dolls and came across a site which features Betsy McCall paper dolls from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s that can be printed off.

Aside from playing with them, they would be so cute framed and hung in a little girl’s room. Or, you could use them as part of your Valentine decorations. I’m really looking forward to exploring this site further.

While I’m showing off my paper doll ideas, I picked up this set of vintage paper dolls at the Allegan Antique Fair a few summers back and I’m looking forward to displaying it in my new arts/crafts room.

I’ve got all kinds of older toys that I’m looking forward to hanging on the walls or displaying on top of my cupboards in the new room. Be prepared to see all of my vintage goodies throughout this remodeling project. I'm really excited. Can you tell?

Now, go grab some scissors, paper and print off some paper dolls! Happy Crafting!!!
