Let's make a jointed paper doll!

For this swap, you will send 1 assembled paper doll to 1 partner. Please remember our group has international members - and this swap should fit into a regular stamped envelope if you want it to.

I've created a tutorial with tips on making jointed paper dolls if that helps you get started: DuhBe's jointed paper doll tutorial

Swap requirements: 1. Your paper doll must be cut out and assembled, with a minimum of 3 joints that move. 2. Doll must be sturdy. Cardstock alone doesn't last too long - so use watercolor paper, chipboard, or laminated cardstock (where 2 layers of cardstock are glued together).
3. Doll height should be between 5 and 8 inches when doll is fully extended. (standing up) 4. Do not mount the doll on anything for this swap. No cards, tags, etc. This swap is just for the assembled dolly.
5. Doll design is completely up to you! Print and cut from a doll design, stamp and color, or draw/paint your own from scratch. You can embellish if you want to, or not.
6. membership requirements for the group are applied to this swap - no recent 1's or 3's unless you have a great story with proof. LOL 7. Doll is senders choice. But checking your partner's profile for likes/dislikes is always encouraged!

M'kay, I think that's plenty of rules. If you need some help finding paper doll designs - our forum has paper doll sources and hopefully other members will chime in on the forum.

Do you think 110 lbs card stock would be adequate for these dolls? Thanks!

110# cardstock should be fine. I know my regular cardstock is 65# and that is not sturdy enough to move the joints much without tearing. But 140# watercolor paper works great. So based on that, I think 110# is sturdy enough and we should allow it. (I think 110# is similar to manilla folders, right? that's heavy enough as well)
