Paper Doll Wardrobe...

Olivia has two birthday parties today.  The first one is for her friend Isabella.  They both LOVE American Girl so I ordered some things from American Girl but they have not made it here in time for her party.  So, for the birthday party I made this little paper doll wardrobe.  I put little pictures of her actural birthday gifts in the birthday card. 

The second birthday party is for her friend, Felicity, from school.  I made one for her and put a Justice gift card inside. 

Olivia helped me with these.  She made the clothes and accessories while I made the wardrobe and doll. 

I got this idea from Kathy Orta on the Cricut message board.  Go check out her website at   http://paperphenomenon.blogspot.com/.  She is amazing!!  She has created some really great paper crafts!  I got the cut file from blackbearblackbear on the Cricut message board.  She recreated the cut file and made some of these.  You can see the ones she made at http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=6071864&mpage=1&key=paper%2cdoll%2cwardrobe.  So, thanks you to both of these wonderful ladies for the idea and the cut file. 

I used velcro dots for the clothes.  The paper doll has a velcro dot on her tummy.  I made outfits into one piece and put velcro dots on them.  In the wardrobe, I put velcro dots on the "wall" so the outfits could "hang".  You will have to check out Kathy's, she made a little area were they actually hang and I think she made them magnetic. 

Here are pictures of ones I made....








This was a fun project.  I hope the girls enjoy them as much as we enjoyed making them.  Thank you for looking and don't forget to go check out Kathy's website for some more great ideas.
