Make Easy Camp Sit-Upons for Your Dolls

See our dolls getting ready to relax at the park on their sit-upons. 

        To make a doll sized sit-upon you will need: bubble wrap, sturdy ribbon or chord, masking tape, scotch tape, white school glue and Mod Podge.
       Sit-upons are waterproof mats used to keep the place you sit, either directly upon the grass or even upon a wet lawn chair, clean and dry.
       Students can make a sit-upon for their dolls from supplies easily found around the house. This is also an easy camp craft for dolls, for there is no telling just where they will need to sit down outside during a camp retreat. Although they don't feel the cold and damp the way people do, they certainly might wish to keep their clothes clean of dirt and grime.

Left, Bubble wrap comes in two different sizes, either one is fine for this craft, but the smaller the
 bubble wrap, the better. Center, fold 10''x12'' bubble wrap in half, long wise. Use masking tape to
hold the 11'' ribbon handle in place. Right, fold the lower half up, over the ribbon ends that are
taped to shape the sit-upon's handle.

      

Left, use masking tape to seal off the side and top folded panel of the sit-upon. Center, cover the
 remaining bubble wrap entirely. This will help to adhere the decorative paper to it's surface. Right,
 use white school glue to apply decorative paper and then Mod Podge the outside surfaces. If you
have slick paper instead, you may only need to tape the open outside edges, front to back, using
Scotch tape. Above the sit-upon sample with Smilies and rainbows is slick and wrapped using
see-through tape. The sit-upon with larger Smilies is tissue paper that is glued directly onto
the masked surface using white school glue. This is finished lastly with Mod Podge.
