Once I saw this blog post on magnetic paper dolls, I knew I had to make them for Sheldon's (and my soon-to-be) nieces for Christmas. I have a hello kitty magnetic paper doll set that they love so I knew this would be a perfect gift. It took me quite a while to make two sets of dolls. Instead of cutting a square around each piece like the tutorial said to, I made a 6x6 inch canvas in photoshop and placed all of the pieces digitally over 8 canvases. I was able to use a lot more of the magnet this way. I cut the magnet into 8 6x6 pieces and attached those to the 8 doll pieces. I spent most of the week cutting out pieces. If anyone wants to make these and wants the pdf of the 6-inch squares I made, email me and I'll send them to you. It makes the process much easier.
We celebrated Christmas this weekend with his family and I got to give them their presents.
The paper dolls were a hit! I got a few pics of Rosie playing with her set after the family left.
Oh and by the way, she named them Miss Tarkles and Tredda. Such a creative one, that girl.
We had Rosie over last night and I decided that I would make some more magnetic paper dolls out of a paper doll set that I got from Red Velvet Art. Elise's Fox paper dolls are adorable! I love how they look on the fridge.
And Rosie enjoyed them too. She was glad that Hello Kitty had a friend.
I am totally in love with these magnetic paper dolls and I'm really glad the girls like them too!
