I may be the last person to join the Paper Doll craze, anyone else? What can you tell me about backing the dolls so that they last a long time? NainciefromWyoming

Pellon, fleece, heavy woven interfacing should work. :D:D:D

My Mom always loved paper dolls, when ever I see them I think of her.

I fuse them onto heavy pellon then zigzag around the edges and cut them out. I take them to church for the little girls to play with. Keeps them occupied and if they drop the dolls, no noise.
