Paper Doll Project

Today we had family over for the Labor Day holiday and one of the things we did was make paper dolls. The Art teacher at my school gave each teacher an outline of a person and asked us to make it look like ourselves for a bulletin board she is doing. As always I waited till the last minute to do mine, I think she wanted them on Friday, so when the fam was over I thought they could help me out! We always turn whatever we are doing into a fun time and this was no exception! Alli, Konnie, and Kassandra ended up making one for themselves too.

Instead of drawing clothes on the dolls we cut clothes, shoes, even hair out of magazines.

We played around with a few pictures I had and tried out different hair styles! What do ya think?

Who are these people?

This is when we actually started making the paper doll but wanted to try out a few different body parts!

Finished product! This is the before and after shot. Needless to say I didn't use the arms and legs, they looked so manly, but I did glue everything else to the actual body so I did use the original a little. And yes, I put a gold medal on myself! Ha!

I had to make one for Mikey. Aren't they cute?!

Here are all the paper dolls that we made. Konnie and Kassandra made the ones on the end and Alli made the one next to me. We glued her face on underneath the wig. Konnie's looks a little creepy!

This is what Mikey and Hayden did while the girls were busy crafting!

Alli and Deshka, our new roomies!!!
