When I was a little girl I would have so much fun dressing up paper dolls.  You know…. the paper dolls you buy in a book at the store where you cut out the clothes to put on them?  I loved them.  I used to spend hours dressing up the paper dolls and changing their clothes over and over again.  Well, today I’m going to show you how to make with your children a stand-up dress-up doll.  I got the idea from a post I saw on another site ( ikatbag.com). You are going to make the doll out of cardboard… it is much stiffer and will hold up to many, many clothes changes.  Also, in this craft you will find 4 different template sheets of different accessories for your dress-up doll.  That means hours of fun for you and your children dressing up the doll.  So, grab the few materials needed and let’s get started.

HAVE you ever wished you could suggest a use for the interesting stones that children bring home? Here is an idea. By adding crepe-paper mache to these rocks, the children can produce interesting creatures of the imagination. These can be used for paperweight gifts, but the experience of making them has its own reward. With crepe-paper mache children can make rocks into birds, animals, vehicles, fruit, vegetables, holiday novelties.  Sounds fun, right?  Sure does.  So, let’s get started.

Check out our other crafts made from stones and rocks.

Materials Needed

Crepe Paper of Different Color

1 Cup Measuring Cup

Bowl

Water

Mixing Spoon

Flour

Salt

Rock

Step 1

Cut up crepe paper into tiny pieces.

Step 2

Make about one cupful of crepe paper.

Step 3

Add enough water to cover paper… soak overnight.

Step 4

Mix and rub wet paper into into fine pulp.

Step 5

Mix in 4 or 5 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of salt.  Work until texture of clay.  Add more flour or salt as needed.  Make a different batch for each color.

Step 6

Use the mixture as if it were clay.  Use rock as base, and crepe clay as head, wings, feet, tails, or whatever else your sculpture needs.  It will dry as hard as the rock.

Here are some more ideas.

And, there you have it.  A great way to mold many different items simply by making Crepe Paper Mache Rock Sculptures.  What did you land up sculpting?  Let me know in the comments below.  And, don’t forget to take a picture of your item as well…. you can add the picture to the comment.  I’d love to see it.

Today I’m going to show you how to make a traditional Romanian Toy.  It is called a “Hopa Mitica” Doll.  But, we will call it an “I Don’t Want to Stay Down” Doll because this doll will not stay down.  When you try to lay it down it will pop right back up.  It’s a cute, funny toy that will be a ton of fun to make…. almost as much fun as it will be playing with the Doll.  So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started with the crafting fun.

Check out our other Doll Making Crafts.

Laura from Dacian Moon Handmade will show you this craft step-by-step.

Our doll will not be made of wood, so …

Materials Needed

– round top (I use a round top from a roll-on)
– scissors
– a red marker and a black one
– 2 cloth pieces – one white or light pink for the face and one colored for the dress
– anti-shock wrap (bubble wrap)
– yarn (whatever color you want her hair to be) and needle
– 1 toothpick
– weights (could be anything heavy but small, it should stay on the bottom of the round top.)
– one piece of ribbon

Step 1

Make a ball (not perfect, of course) from the bubble wrap…

… roll up the white cloth around it…

… and tie it with a piece of yarn. This will be the head.

Step 2

Use the needle to add hair to the head, like in the picture.

Cut the yarn near the needle…

… and make a knot (or two) with the two parts of yarn.

Add as many yarn pieces until you are happy with the result. An alternate method is to glue the yarn to the head of the doll.

Step 3

Now we will place the weights in the round top. They should stay on the bottom of it. You can place there just enough weights to keep the round top up. If you will add more, the doll will not work.

Step 4

Make another ball of bubble wrap …

… and stuff it in the round top, in order to keep the weights in place.

Step 5

Place the toothpick on the lower part of the head, like in the picture.

Step 6

Roll up the rest of the bubble wrap around the toothpick…

… and fix it on top of the other bubble wrap, on the round top.

Step 7

Take the colored cloth …

… and wrap it around the doll, keeping out the head.

Step 8

Tie the cloth with the ribbon, at the base of the head. Take care to let her hair out too.

The doll will look like that.

Step 9

Using the markers, draw eyes and mouth.

And that’s it.

Now try to put her down.

She will jump up …

… waiting to play with you.

And that is how you make your “I Don’t Want to Stay Down” Doll.  Try and knock her over and see what happens…. she pops right back up again ready to play some more.  Have fun!!

Today we are going to be making Standing Witches for Halloween.  You can choose to either use the printable template and cardstock to make this item.  Or, if you want the craft to be a little more difficult you can use such items as yarn, sticks, construction paper and straw to make the Standing Witch from scratch.  The choice is your own.

Check out our other Halloween Crafts.

Materials Needed

Heavy Paper, Cardstock or Construction Paper

Yarn or Thread (optional)

Stick & Straw (optional)

Paste

Scissors

If you choose follow the printable template below to make the Standing Witch.

CLICK ON IMAGE TO OPEN IT UP BIGGER TO PRINT.

Directions:

1. In making this standing Halloween witch, the hat and coat must be drawn on rather heavy paper for it to stand well (with normal paper, if you walk past the witches, they might blow over from the slight breeze otherwise). So you can use normal paper if you want to, but I suggest tracing the patterns onto cardstock or construction paper.
2. As for the hair, you can either use the template provided or use yarn or thread for the hair. It could even be straw pasted on the other side of the hat to hang down. The back of the witch is shown, so that no face will be needed to be drawn. This was intentional, as younger children might get frustrated with drawing a face. Plus, I think the silhouette of the witch is quite nice to look at. If the hair is made with thread, a vertical strip of paper will be needed to fasten the hat at a proper distance from the body, so it might just be easier to use the drawing of hair or paste the thread / yarn on to the cut-out-drawn hair provided. The lower part of the hair will then be pasted on to the coat.
3. The broom may be made either of two ways. A stick may serve as the handle with a few real broom straws tied in a bunch at the end, or the broom may merely be cut from the paper template given like the rest of the witch. It is then pasted on the other side (front side, really) so that it would seem as if the witch was carrying it in her hand.

So, as you can see you can make this Standing Witch as easy or as complicated as you would like.  This is great for all different age groups.
