These charming little paper ladies will keep your laces and ribbons neat and tidy inside of your sewing stash. Whether in a basket, on a shelf, or in a display cabinet, you can craft many Victorian paper ladies to wrap old laces and ribbons about.
Supply List:
- cardboard
- scrapbook papers
- wooden craft sticks
- white school glue
- Victorian scraps of ladies
- Mod Podge (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Print out Victorian ladies, half torso or shoulder length from our Victorian blog here, on your home computer.
- Cut and set aside.
- Now draft a simple long skirt pattern for these ladies.
- Trace around the pattern onto cardboard and cut as many as you need for your lace and ribbon collections.
- I glued a wooden craft stick to the bottom of my cardboard skirts to give the paper dolls added strength for wear.
- Using the white school glue, paste the decorative papers on top of the skirts.
- Glue on a Victorian scrap lady to each skirt.
- Seal the surfaces, if you like, with Mod Podge. (Optional step.)
- Now you can wrap your ribbon and laces about these vintage looking paper dolls to keep them organized, untangled and clean.
