FREE: Paper Dolls

Super auction!! I am just watching but have some suggestions for repairing some of the damage for anyone who likes these...
1) Depending the thickness of the dolls, you may be able to iron the creases or bends out of them. If it's just paper set the iron on hot, place a piece of plain paper(like printer paper) over the design and iron gently, then leave the paper over the top and place a heavy book over it, allow to cool- about a half an hour. to an hour time. Remove the book and paper and your dolls should be all flat again!
2) Be sure NOT to use any paper to cover the design that has printing or the printing may transfer to the doll design.
3) You can glue the design to a thin piece of cardboard(like an old cereal box), after flattening the design. When the glue has dried, cut out the doll and you will have a sturdier doll to last a long time! Just be sure ti flatten with the iron FIRST so you will have nice flat dolls to work with.
4) You can use acrylic or water color paints to repair any damage to the designs, BUT you will need to match the colors as close as possible so it will show up less. On paper dolls I like to use water colors as the colors seem to match better depending how dark or light you make it, practice on a blank piece of similar colored paper for best match. Allow paint to dry and you should have a doll that is all ready to dress up!

I hope these instructions will help whoever wins these!! Or help someone to repair paper dolls they may have at home :)

Oops, forgot to say that this will work on the cardboardy stuff these look like they may be BUT the creases may not completely come out, painting may help that but may not.
