homemade paper dolls


Here's for a new fun project. Make personalized paper dolls of your kids. First set up a simple photography studio. You could hang a white sheet as a backdrop, or simply have your child stand in front of a white wall. Place a piece of masking tape on the floor to mark where your child stands and either mark where the photographer stands, or place your camera on a tripod. Photograph your child either in their undies, or swimming suit for the basic doll. Then photograph your child in a variety of outfits. Make sure your child stands in the same place with arms and legs in the same position. Print on heavy cardstock. Cut out images with an exacto knife. You can cut out separate pieces for shoes, tights, dresses, or other accessories. Then laminate each piece for durability. It would be fun to make your whole family, and your house, and your dog...

How cute is this idea! If I could just get my two boys to hold still for two seconds. I might have to wait until I get a girl:)

Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it's nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks. Travel Rail Tips for Kids

I started to create my own paper dolls when I was in elementary along with my friends. It was hard at first because I was still young then, but with my passion for these dolls, it really went well.
