Always did love paper dolls!

I have always loved paper dolls ever since I was a little girl. So this project was purely selfish. I sketched a doll figure on plain paper and then traced it on to an old book page. Then I made an outfit for her. But then what to do with her? I looked around and remembered buying a plain wooden box on clearance for about $3. It was roughly 11" X 9" X 5". Perfect. So I dug through scrapbook paper found some pieces that went together that were actually given to me a friend. Then glued my paper doll & dress on the top. Got out my acrylic paints and layered on a few different colors for hair. Used a q-tip to give her some cheeks (I can't paint faces to save myself). Glued on a ribbon for a sash and ta-da! Done! Well not actually done, I did need to decorate the rest of the box. But just used paper, ribbon, and mod podge.

So other than the $3 box and a little bit of time it didn't cost anything to make. I honestly can't wait to make another paper doll, just need to find something to put her on. :)
