Paper Fashions Inspire Young Designers

Who are the girls that will become the future’s Donatella Versace, Donna Karan, Stella McCartney or Vera Wang? They could be among the young designers that are crafting their sense of style with Paper Fashions from Klutz. Without the need of a sewing machine, bolts of fabric, or even a needle and thread, girls ages 8 and up can develop their fashion sense using paper and scissors and an array of embellishments from glitter and ribbons to decorative doodads. The spiral-bound Paper Fashions includes everything wannabe fashion designers need to create their own paper-clothing couture!

Young designers use plastic stencil shapes included in each kit to trace onto an assortment of double-sided, fabric-like papers and then cut out pants, purses, skirts, scarves, sweaters and shoes. Girls are encouraged to let their imaginations run wild by mixing and matching designs and adding finishing touches. The paper collection can be displayed on included mini-hangers, and can also be used to decorate greeting cards, gift bags and magnets. Paper Fashions retails for $21.95. When the Paper Fashions supplies run low, they can be replenished with a jumbo pack of extra papers, hangers and other supplies from Klutz.

Klutz also offers other titles in the Paper Fashions series. Paper Fashions Fancy lets girls design gorgeous evening gowns, prom dresses and elegant accessories. Paper Fashions Fantasy includes supplies for making magical princess dresses, fairy finery, goddess gowns, mermaids and other sparkling creations. Another fun product is the My Style Studio book, for designing and tracing fashions onto vinyl clings.

Klutz offers a wide range of creative crafts and activities for girls and boys. Popular picks for girls include Shrink Art Jewelry, Just Between Friends (to keep things totally secret), Friendship Bracelets, Make Your Own Twinkly Tiaras and Nail Art.
