Here's the snowflake-bedecked bedroom door.

I love paper snowflakes.
Been hanging them on the doors. This is the library door. Everything is knob high or higher, because of the grandson.

A rainbow of Korean doll bookmarks.
Cut from the sides of movie-size Mike&Ike boxes. You can get 2 from each side, or 4 from each box,
Colored with permanent markers.

Paper bouquets

Paper bouquets, folded in eighths. Large-headed straight pins and rubber earring backs form the stem.

Still having computer printer trouble, but found these paper twist 'corn husk' dolls I made a while back.
The witch was based on a straw Halloween decoration, and the others are some variations I made.
Styrofoam heads, twisted paper, ribbons, silk from an old shedding Christmas ornament for the blond hair.
