I didn’t grow up with Barbie Dolls or play ‘masak-masak’ with toy kitchen sets like most little girls but would rather lose myself in a world of books, paints and brushes. The only “toy” I played with was my paper doll which my Mom made for me. She taught me how to draw and make a few pieces of clothing for the paper doll but I bet she didn’t expect that I will end up making hundreds of outfits. Probably that was an early sign of my affinity with fashion illustration.
It was one of my fondest memories of my childhood and my time with my Mom. So when the Ministry of Social and Family Development asked if I can help to create some art activities that can help families bond together as we all stay home in our fight against Covid-19, I just knew that making paper dolls would be one of them. So here’s a video showing you how you can make your very own paper doll.
If you love fashion and perhaps dreamt of being a fashion designer or stylist, you would love this. So go ahead, give this a try and have fun!
