Paper dolls
November 28, 2007 It’s a Paper Dolls day at the office. There was no contest or exhibit. Remember those paper dolls that hold hands so they’re connected with each other? 
I made them and my officemates watched. Then they asked me to teach them so they can teach their daughters. Just when I thought everybody knew how to do it. Everybody who's female that is. This time I was thanking my mother for not buying me a Barbie when I was little. I learned not only how to make those continuous paper dolls but also single detached grown up paper dolls. Curly hair, straight hair, long or short, I had all kinds of paper dolls. The possibilities are endless with a scratch paper and bic ballpen. And of course a sharp pair of scissors. For longer lifespan I paste them on a cardboard, usually a milk carton. Recycling at its best. I have an idea! Let us all teach our kids to make paper dolls. It’s environment friendly.
