Paper Dress Garland

(This swap idea was originally hosted by @arielrobin ; photo is from the garland I made for the swap!)

These are really cute & there are tons of templates around, or you can just create your own!

For this swap we will make a garland with at least 6 dresses on it. Each dress should be around 6 inches tall; the width depends on the style of the dress of course. It works best if the dresses are cut from a sturdy card stock, but then you can decorate & embellish them anyway you want. The possibilities are endless - from papers (fabric prints) to beads, buttons, stickers, glitter, sequins, fibers....you name it! This time, the theme of the dresses is up to you; I will host more of these swaps in the future with a particular dress theme, (i.e. evening gowns, color themes, holiday dresses, etc.)

You can choose whatever string/ribbon/fiber you want to "connect" your garland. The length will also depend on the style of the dresses.

Here are some ideas

Here is a template

I'll post some more templates here in the next week or so.

Check out these dresses!

Usual swap rules apply; no 1's, 3's or no-sends in the last 4 months. Open to all group members in good standing & I will check profiles before assigning partners. Since this isn't a partner-based swap and you can start anytime, I'm giving more time to sign up then to send.

PM me with any questions. Feel free to post links for templates or ideas in the comments section.
