For this swap I decided to open it early so that everyone would have plenty of time to find their scavenger hunt items.
This is what we will do.....You will make a paperdoll dressed in a Christmas frock. You will not need to make extra clothes, just one dress that will stay on the doll...It could be glued on, sewn on, just where the frock will not come off.
The doll will need to be 12 inches tall..(A legal sized folder glued together makes a great doll body.)
The items listed below will be attached to the dolls dress. It can be small vintage ornaments, embellishments like old charms, jewelry, brooches, etc.
This is something totally different than we have tried before. Just sounded like fun!!

Connie - The secret is hot glue :) That little dress and I had some arguments over how it was going to look. I'm not even very good at squares. They always seem to be lopsided :) It sure is fun to try though.
Merry Christmas everyone!!
