These are the color versions of Jessie Louise Taylor's Dutch Twins Paper Friends.
Directions For Making Fold-A-Way Dolls:
  1. Mount the dolls on an old magazine cover, letterhead or perhaps even discarded clean cereal boxes. Any stiff, clean cardboard will due.
  2. When thoroughly dry, cut out all around the dark outlines and cut into lines on base to make th e locks, also cut slits in bodies where the dress tabs fit.
  3. Fold over directly on the dotted lines at the top of the heads and the dotted lines at the feet, but in the opposite directions, as shown on the tiny figures.
  4. Bring haves together and slide locks from one side into the slats on the opposite side. Doll will then stand alone.
  5. The clothes need not be mounted, but will last longer if mounted on light weight paper before cutting out. 
  6. Cut into the slits and fold directly on the dotted lines, clothes will then go on and off almost like your own garments.
  7. The hats should be folded, cut out and tipped with paste so that the back will stick to the front part below the slits.
  8. In cutting out the lobster follow same method as for the dolls.

These paper dolls have costumes to wear to a ball! Cut along dotted lines, and slip doll's head
into slits thus made. To make the dolls stand...paste a narrow strip of cardboard
at waist line, which will form an easel stand.

A Paper Doll of Douglas Fairbanks

November 22, 2018 0 Comments
       Douglas Fairbanks (born Douglas Elton Thomas Ullman; May 23, 1883 – December 12, 1939) was an American actor, screenwriter, director, and producer. He was best known for his swashbuckling roles in silent films including The Thief of Bagdad, Robin Hood, and The Mark of Zorro but spent the early part of his career making comedies.
       Fairbanks was a founding member of United Artists. He was also a founding member of The Motion Picture Academy and hosted the first Oscars Ceremony in 1929. With his marriage to Mary Pickford in 1920, the couple became Hollywood royalty and Fairbanks was referred to as "The King of Hollywood", a nickname later passed on to actor Clark Gable.
       Though widely considered as one of the biggest stars in Hollywood during the 1910s and 1920s, Fairbanks' career rapidly declined with the advent of the "talkies". His final film was The Private Life of Don Juan (1934). Read more...

The Fashion-Doll Cut-Outs 
By Nandor Honti 
Above is a fashionable paper doll from 1925, two party dresses and a robin's egg blue cape.
       Cut out each piece, carefully following the outlines. Fold on dotted lines. Paste the matching numbers together beginning by pasting 1 to 1 and son on till all the numbers are used. Hold the pasted places together until the paste hardens enough to hold, so they will not slip apart.
