Faux Fabric Fashions
Do you have a passion for fun fashions? Design paper dolls and their all-original wardrobes with fabulous faux fabrics!
1. Can’t sew? No problem! Use your creative flair to make a one-of-a-kind wardrobe for your paper dolls to wear! Draw a doll on heavy paper or thin cardboard. If you like, lay your favorite fashion doll on the paper and trace around it for a basic shape. Add details to the doll with Crayola True to Life™ Tri-Color Crayons and Markers. Cut out the doll.
2. To make a pattern for clothes, trace around the paper doll on more paper. Cut the pattern out and you can make clothes the perfect size every time.
3. Designing fashions starts with an idea. What inspires you? A bunch of flowers outside your window? A crayon color? A movie you recently saw? Take your idea and make paper clothing or a period or dress-up costume for your doll. Just use the pattern you made! True to Life products have a three pre-coordinated colors in each marker or crayon. To make the textural look of fabric, just twist and turn the tips for multi-tonal effects.
4. Cut out your outfits and try them on the doll. Need accessories? Create hats, shoes, or handbags to go with every outfit.
5. Think beyond paper for your clothing designs. What else can you use? Bits of foil, ribbon, or gauze add an extra "wow" to any paper doll wardrobe. Glue on decorations such as beads or sequins for extra flair! Air-dry the glue. Your paper dolls will be runway ready!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
