A Color Paper Doll Named Dell

This little paper doll named Dell made her debut in 1921 with a set of Winter clothes 
for school, play, parties, outdoor occasions and for pajamas for sleeping in.

"Dell is a very lucky little paper doll. Do you remember all the nice new clothes

 mother has just mad for her from the latest Butterick designs."

Use Vintage Display Box for Barbie's Living Room

A glass and brass vintage display box in the shape of a hexagon. Sometimes these were used for jewelry or as miniature terrariums in the mid 1970s.         I picked this vintage glass display box from the 1970s at a local Goodwill. I thought it would make a lovely sofa table in our doll's house. Little ones can display whatever treasure they think their dolls would enjoy inside of it.        I cut a clear plastic sheet, the same size of my box/sofa table by tracing around the top of the box with a marker and cutting out the shape  slightly smaller.

In the U. S., beds that are bigger than cribs and cradles, but have a mattress smaller than a twin sized mattress, are called toddler beds. Most car themed headboards are designed as toddler beds,  however there are a few that will accommodate a twin mattress.        I recycled an old VCR rewinder shaped like a sports car for this next project. Although it was missing a few parts, I thought it would be a very nice car bed for a small doll. All it needed was a bit of cleaning, bedding and a place inside a doll's bedroom in order to serve a new purpose.        Do not over stuff the mattress in this case, the heads bump up the padding and make sure that the cording is safely removed.         I sewed a simple blanket using a car novelty print for this little bed. Now the finished bed looks as though it were made for a child's room in a doll house. Little car beds are not as popular as they on...
