Craft for the Month of March

My daughter just had her 2nd birthday.
This is the gift I made her.. A Paperdoll House

You will need
Adhesive Velcro
one Binder
Laminate
a set of dolls (I used these)
and a printable paper doll house try this one or this one
or this one... I pieced mine together from these, and these and this
 (I was going to upload the pdf file of the one I made, but I have yet to learn how to do that on here.)

 This is so easy, if you don't take the time to past it all together like I did, and just print off your house,  you could have this done in under an hour easy!

 If you get a binder with a sleeve on the outside, it's perfect for this. I put my door and windows on a scrap paper and into the sleeve it went for the outside of the house

 As you can see, I laminated the dolls and dresses, as well as all the house pages!

 when I cut out the dolls and dresses I cut well away from the edges so they stay sealed. then I placed adhesive Velcro on the fronts and backs of the dolls, the backs of the dresses and on the house pages through out the house as I thought where I'd like the dolls to stand or sit.

 

 the set above came with the dolls, and the set of dresses below I made from scrap paper for extra dresses

 

 as you can see, I hold punched the pages so they fit in the binder

 again, if you have a binder with pockets and sleeves, all the better. the pocket serves as a holder for the dolls and dresses. if not, an envelope with holes punched in it, can be put in your binder to hold the loss items.

 as you can see I hole punched them in two spots. on the side and on the bottom so they can either be set up as a house or put away... if you can find house pages where you don't have to have the pages in the binder sideways, all the better, but if not, keep this in mind.

 (some 2 year olds may not be mature enough for laminate dolls. more for 3 or 4 year olds)

 Happy Crafting
