I didn’t mean to abandon you like that! There were some server moves or upgrades or whatever due to the new beta Twolia Music & Stores, and a few of us Twolia bloggers had some scheduled posts lost in the transition. I’m doing my best to get caught up, but as I didn’t save copies of all my posts, well, ugh.

One of my posts was about this post by Deanna at Kitsch Slapped which included this project to make charming little dolls with faces cut from magazines!

I was struck by how much fun that would be for any girlie gathering, like my movie nights with friends. We typically watch films on some theme or other, and so the dolls could be “us” as gangster molls, musical maids, or our favorite actresses.

Admittedly, I wouldn’t want to cut up my vintage movie mags; but you can easily scan photos and make paper copies (or even photo quality ones) to cut up.

With as many movie nights as we have, we’d have quite a cute collection of little handmade paper movie star dolls!

I think it would also be a super idea for parties for little girls and tweens too. Even though they are more hung-up on modern celebrities the simple project allowing them to be Hillary Duff or even Hannah Montana (we call her Hanna Man-Hand-a ’round here lol) would keep them happily entertained.

And even though lots of kids these days are (sadly) more high-tech than low-tech (some of them honestly would be more adept at cut and pasting a celeb head in Photoshop than performing a paper craft cut & paste version), a handcrafted paper doll like this would allow them to take something home to show low-tech moms & grandmoms — and give them a trinket to keep in their room.
