Paper Dolls Christmas Print, would like to make paper dolls
 

Have the fabric and the clothes, would like to cut out the dolls and the clothes, would like the clothes to stick to the dolls and stay, has to be easy enough for little fingers to use. Has anyone done these? I did a search but not found anything that I would like to do. Thanks for any suggestions.

how about magnets on the bsck of the doll and the think ones you get like business cards

I saw one in a LQS that used buttons to anchor the clothes to the dolls. Each doll was in a square, with sashing between squares, very simple. Maybe use velcro if the child is too young to maneuver buttons?

back with flannel - the pieces will stick to the dolls

The flannel works really well.

Iron-on interfacing also works.

I used flannel for the ones I did. Used heat n bond to adhere the flannel to the back of the clothes and they stay on the doll really well.

I was thinking of the heavy pellon, now I have to look and see if I have some, if it were fusible that would be even better. Tomorrow will look and see.

I made them for two great nieces and what I did was press the fabric onto heavy weight pellon that had an adhesive side. Then I cut them out and cut out the stands too. The girls loved them!

I did the same thing for my granddaughters a couple of Christmas' ago.

I have an old magazine article about how to make 'paper dolls'. If you can be patience, I'll try to get out in the next day or two. Then I can pm it to you.

What about velcro

Thank you, will wait and see.

Fleece would work well too if it wasn't very heavy.

Selm, plz PM me with instructions. I will be making dogs and dinosaur shapes for the grandsons tho. I would think the principal would be the same. and I will try flannel ladies! how does the pellon help?

I did these and they were a lot of work. The dolls had to be cut out of foam board and ironed on and the back had to have fabric on it. The clothes were backed with flannel which did its job of sticking to the doll. I button hole stitched around the doll because with any use they would fray and come apart!

I'll look for it later today. It's been awhile since I read the directions so I can't answer detail questions about it right now. I'm planning a quilt with that fabric and the same magazine also had the directions for the paper dolls which I also plan on making one day.

Selm Please post here for all of us to see --- I also have doll fabric to do and never found the best thing yet so it sits and waits.

I, too, am interested in the ideas/thoughts here - I was just reading about velcro but was thinking that might be kind of thick. I like a couple of other ideas I saw here and will give them a try.
