Collage Couture Studio Paper Dolls: Design, Collage, Cut and Play - Softcover

Play dress-up with your art!

Paper dolls have never been so fashionable! In Collage Couture Studio: Paper Dolls, you'll be introduced to five fashion-forward dolls from around the world--dress them up in the outfits provided or design your own. Send them out to a London dress shop, the flea markets of Paris and the gardens of Japan. Make a paper doll chain, a treasure box or a beautiful and richly textured collage. This is a book like none other--and with so many cool and unique projects, you'll have countless hours of creative fun.

Inside, you'll find:

• 5 paper dolls: Emilee and her friends Charley, Belle, Francesca and Kyoko, plus a design-you-own doll template so you can create your own character
• 10 pages of fun and funky, silly and sweet paper doll clothes and templates for fashioning your own signature styles from patterned paper, ribbons, paint, ink and more
• 16 super pretty projects--step-by-step instructions for building mixed-media backgrounds and settings for your dolls, including beach scenes and cityscapes. Or create journals, banners, wall art, tags and more for yourself (or to share with a special fiend)
