Description:

You will be creating one paper doll necklace for one partner. It should be no more that roughly 3-4 inches give or take. It may be smaller. Although these are wonderful to hang for inspiration, they ideally should be able to be worn. You may want to use paper glaze or mod podge on the paper part of your doll to make it more sturdy. Now for the fun part....Maybe start with a name. Does your doll have jointed limbs? Is she a queen, a gypsy, a vintage fashion maven? Does she carry a bouquet, a kitten, a puppy or banner? What will she hang from? Just a plain string or piece of yarn won't work here. Use something worthy of her. A lovely ribbon, beaded chain etc. Package her up sweetly and safely and send her off. Maybe add something about her, like how you made her or your creative process. Lots of time so she can be Somerset wonderful.

This is sender's choice. However PLEASE check your partner's profile. You may think a lady with arms made out of pythons and fuchsia skin is fabulous, but your partner not so much.

Photo is not mine and was found on Pinterest. Your doll does not have to have wings!

Sweet! Don't think that I will do it since it is international though. learned my lesson the hard way and it cost me $50 by the time all was said and done because my partner never got her swap and I had to do it twice! Cost $10 in supplies each time and the rest was in postage! Didn't weigh that much either!

That is awful! I haven't had that problem yet thankfully. This could fit in a letter with a little extra postage, if made wit a rinon hanger. I trying to include everyone on light swaps, you can always join and drop if an international joins. If no international members are interested I will make it US only.

My partner in the matchbox swap also paid $15 to mail to me. So I hesitate 'cause I know how I am with embellishing. lol When I think necklace, I think of something with a little weight to dangle with beads and such so then you add bubble wrap and then it becomes a packet. Guess I will chance and challenge myself.

I don't have a problem with this LOOKING like a paper doll, but being made of wood, shrink plastic, etc. Any questions please ask your partners, and THANK YOU all for playing!!
