Description:

I am always looking for things to try. I have been playing around with paper mache and would love to make a doll to swap.

For this swap, we will make one doll of paper mache for one partner. You can use pre-made paper mache sheets or make your own, to recycle paper. If you use an old plastic bottle as a base, you are recycling even more!

The doll should be mainly composed of paper mache, but can be dressed and/or embellished with any other materials that strike your fancy. The doll can be all paper mache, with painted details, if that is your preference.

Please, at least 5" tall.

If it is meant to hang, please include the hanger.

With the material used, it is probably not necessary to add this, but here it is: No paper dolls, dotees, plushies, or button fairies. :)
