Paper Dresses

What to do with a pile of brown bags, scraps of wallpaper, scrapbooking paper, old sheet music and more?
        Make dresses!

Cut out a dress pattern, (or use the one from my Dress Pattern Kit here):


Pile up some stuff to use:

Sew, cut, glue, stain, etc:


Hang on a line with miniature clothes pins:


These make wonderful birthday cards, if attached to a blank card.  They also are sweet in journals, write about what's on your heart.


Here's one I made for Halloween last year:


When I was a little girl we always wore dresses.  When we lived where it snowed we STILL wore dresses to school.  Does this tell you my age?

Have a beautiful dress-y day!  Hugs, Heidi

SOOOOO ADORABLE!!! What a sweet idea. A long cloths line of these tiny dresses would be so very cute. I will definitely have to remember this idea for when Kate and Emma come to visit again. I know they will love to create their own little dresses. Thanks for sharing such an adorable idea.

Cute dresses, I need to try this. I too lived where we had real winter. My school attire was a dress with a pair of pants. We had to take the pants off during school, but got to put them on when we went out for recess.

It would be awesome to draw a doll shape on a magnetic board and play "paper dolls" with them!
