The Real Book About MAKING DOLLS and DOLL CLOTHES
As long as there have been little girls in the world, there have been dolls. We know this is so because scientists have found many dolls in strange and forgotten places. By studying these dolls, historians and scientists have learned a great deal about people who lived thousands of years ago....
The most attractive little dolls can be made for your doll house. Crepe paper, absorbent cotton, and pipe-stem cleaners are the things youll need besides scissors, paste, thread, and needle.
The charming thing about these dolls is that they can be bent into all sorts of natural poses without any difficulty whatsoever. Their crepe-paper clothes, for the most part, are put together with paste. Only occasionally do you have to sew anything. Of course, you can use other kinds of paper, too, for costumes and trimmings. As you work along with them, all sorts of interesting ideas will occur to you. Sheer fine fabrics can be used on these dolls and, since the dolls are so very small, the tiniest scraps that cannot be used elsewhere will do nicely here.
