The girls and I made some dolls using the Maya Road boy and girl chipboard album pages. We had so much fun trying to make them look like us. Here are the steps to make them: we painted them skin color; glued chipboard behind the heads and attached fiber or ribbon hair to it; drew the faces with sharpies and attached rhinestones as the eyes; made the clothes out of ribbon and fabric; added little details to each to finish them off.
And here is the result - one for me (it has my name and a fact about me as I made it for the Maya Road newsletter this month), then Chloe, Sophie and her best friend Cameron:
I think these would be even more fun if we made the clothes removable like paper dolls and then they could have lots of outfits - maybe next time!
And now that the Olympics are over, here is a fun little show my husband made for me yesterday! Suzy
These are so cute Suzy, love the birdhouse below too. That is still my favorite HG line!
That video cracks me up. I think your face adds to the humor of it! ;)
