Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Paper Doll Clothes

January 19, 2011

Okay, you might think this post is about paper dolls, but it isn’t. I wrote in our Christmas letter that the girls enjoy making clothing for their dolls out of paper towels and that I’d post pictures. Well, this is that post – a little late but I’m on it now :-).

The girls each have a Barbie doll and a Disney Fairy doll and they went through a period recently of making clothing for those dolls out of paper towels and even leaves. I must say they were really good at it, but especially Katie who seems to have a really good eye for design.

One day I brought home a new package of paper towels and the girls were squealing over them like they were bolts of fabric, already able to see the dresses they were going to make. Here’s a couple of pictures of their work – a fashion show if you will.

Tinkerbell, Silvermist, and Fawn in beautiful dresses made by Katie, Maggie and Becky respectively.

A closeup so you can see the details - yes, they even colored the "fabric" with crayons to jazz it up even more.

I wish I’d taken more pictures because it is something I’ll always remember and it will be interesting to see if Katie does go into designing of some sort when she gets older. Ah, but that is a long time away yet.
