These are Betsy McCall paper dolls
that were introduced in the
McCall magazine in 1951.
One Pearl Button
came up with a tutorial to
turn them into magnetic
paper dolls.
Since I had been gifted with part of
a magnetic sheet, I set out to make a set
to give to my niece when
she is a little older.
Problem is ..the magnetic clothes don't
actually stay on the magnetic doll.
At first I thought I had done
something wrong and then
I noticed one of the comments
that said that the same thing
happened to her.
Brilliant idea but unfortunately
a bit of a glitch in the execution.
They will however work
if both the doll and clothes
are stuck onto a fridge
since the clothes tend to be a
bit wider than the doll.
I'll have to revisit this and
see if I can work around this
problem since I think this
project is worth it.
While I had the magnetic sheet out
I thought I'd make up some
magnets for myself of my
favourite characters on tv.
Actually while I was working
on this I came up with another
project involving
Sheldon, Leonard, Raj, and Howard
but it can't be completed
within a day so it
will have to wait.
