Asking the Maids.

Before I even got engaged, I knew exactly how I wanted to ask my bridesmaids to be a part of our big day (anyone surprised?). Little did I know that this "little" project would take for.ev.er to make. Oh well, they loved them and they turned out super cute so it was worth it!

I originally came across this idea from a post on Once Wed. Her's are obviously much cuter than mine, but I worked with what I had. Once I found the idea, I attempted to draw my own doll. Didn't turn out so hot. So then I Googled a template and came across Heather's blog. She was kind enough to send me a template of the paper doll. Huge help! From there, I looked on Etsy to find the actual cards since I am not Publisher savvy. I saved money by printing them off on my own, rather than having them sent to me. I sketched the dresses and hair by hand.

In order to see how fun this project was, here are some numbers: 
28 paper dolls (21 dolls attached in two's, 7 singles)
+ 49 dresses  
 + 49 pieces of hair (customized by hair length and color) 
= a LOT of cutting and hand cramps.

Here the are, start to finish.

I'll be introducing the recipients of these cards next week! :)

Have a great weekend everyone!
