Paper Dresses

Another great way to save scraps of old fabric: cut out a dress shape from cardboard and paste down  cloth to fashion a dress, skirt or frilly blouse. Add ribbon, buttons or embroidery for more details. No doll necessary - just tack clothes lightly into a scrap book or frame colorful pieces together for charming artwork.  If you have saved some of your litte girls' baby clothes, and don't mind cutting one up - this is a great project for them to make a special keepsake.  Don't forget the fringe!
