SONJA HENIE 2 - PART ONE

SONJA HENIE 2 - PART ONE

What better way to end the year with icy temperatures outside than with this beautiful Sonja Henie set. Sonja was a three time Olympic figure skating champion and enjoyed a modest Hollywood film career as well. She also featured in at least three different paper doll sets released during the 1930's and 40's.

[ See the Oct. 11, 2023 and Feb. 5, 2025 posts for more Sonja Dolls ]

There are three dolls and lots of skating outfits and fashions in the set and I will post the other two over the next two days leading into 2026!

Here's another last minute stocking stuffer. A cute little doll with wintery wardrobe and she and her clothes will all fit inside the bright red suitcase. Just right for a nostalgic Christmas gift.

Here is another great little set which would make a nice last minute gift idea. Just print out the pages and mount the Dolls, Tree & Background to heavy poster board with spray adhesive. Hinge the Background together in the middle with tape and carefully cut out the dolls and the tree. Make bases and stands for each doll and glue to the backs.

 Package the whole lot in a brightly colored folder tied with ribbon and place it under your Christmas tree to delight a paper doll happy child this holiday! 

 

CHRISTMAS CAROL

What was a birthday or holiday without a paper doll card from Grandma?

Here's an example of one with some subtle educational value thrown in as well as we count down to Christmas.

 

JOAN WALSH ANGLUND NATIVITY ENCORE

JOAN WALSH ANGLUND ENCORE.

I created this little Nativity set from the Joan Walsh Anglund original last season. When friends saw it on display they were so taken with it that I made up a few sets and passed them around. After using spray adhesive to affix the pages to heavy weight poster board and then carefully cutting out each figure and the Manger, I painted small wood blocks white and glued them to the back of the figures and either side of the Manger for stability. This looks beautiful on a white base with some glitter snow sprinkled around it. The perfect Christmas time project.

I'm repeating this beautiful set from three years ago in time for this Christmas in case anyone missed it.

I display mine on the mantlepiece each season and it makes a lovely and unique decoration. I used glitter markers to highlight areas on the costumes and they really sparkle in the holiday lights.
