Why

Design your own fashion line for any occasion and every season! Show your creativity in a portfolio with models wearing your designs.

Steps

  1. 1. Browse through the Crayola Cutter Project Kit: Fashion Portfolio to find paper patterns and colors you like for your clothing designs. Add paper designs of your own as well by drawing them with Crayola Crayons and Markers. Make shirts, skirts, pants, and accessories to design outfits for any occasion: play-dates with friends, the first day of school, a family outing, or wherever you want!
  2. 2. Change the skin tones, body shapes, and hair colors and styles of the models, too. They could look just like you or a famous model you admire!
  3. 3. Follow the package directions for using your Crayola Cutter. Place the paper fashions on the mat and hold the Cutter at a 90-degree angle. Use the Cutter and stencils to cut out your pieces.
  4. 4. Try the clothing on the models to see which ones seem to look best together. Design portfolio pages for each model on construction paper with crayons and markers. Glue your clothing, shoes, and other accessories to the models with a Crayola Glue Stick.
  5. 5. Embellish your designs with the stickers and Crayola Glitter Glue! Air-dry the glue. Why not make a portfolio cover for your pages, too?
