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

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.
