miss lolly dolly......how to





you will need....large wooden lolly sticks
pens,washi tapes, buttons, trims



....draw on your fabulous hairdo using the pens...
add features....


wrap washi tape around the stick to look like clothes and draw on collars, buttons etc...


draw on legs and shoes (and then wish you had a dress and tights just like them)


keep going and make lots more...they are addictive..and this craft is not just for girls, while I sat happily making these yesterday... my table was invaded by boys who then interpreted their own versions into marvel superguys ...they were quickly whisked off to adorn their bedroom walls, which is why there are no pics of green goblin versions :)


my lolly dollys are off on their jollys....


lucky girls......

I on the other hand am attempting to list a few things on etsy this week and have been busy with the scissors and the vintage wallpapers again.....

hope your summer is going well...I'll leave you with a little sneaky peek of a recent purchase :)

  42. Too darn cute! If I come across some large sticks I will have to make some with my kiddo..I only have the skinny regular kind right now. Reminds me of when I was young and we would make popsicle stick puppets.

  45. Thank you so much for this! These were so fun! They were my first foray into the world of washi tape.

    ReplyDelete

  46. Oh, so cute. We LOOOOOVED your sweet and simple idea. Took the "stuff" for it to family camp and came up with a bunch of our own! I did not have Washi tape, so we just used scraps of scrapbooking paper glued on. Worked great. Thanks for the wonderful craft. You can see our dollies here: http://artteajannell.blogspot.com/2012/09/little-girls-and-mermaids.html
