Pocket Sized Paper Doll Magnets

I have lots of "toys" and am always looking for ways to use them.  Today, I was able to use three of them to make a pocket sized paper doll toy.  I used my Xyron, Cricut, and my straight edge slicer.  Plus, I was able to make a cute paper doll toy and holder that works well in the card.  I call this a in win, I get to play and when I'm babysitting, the little grl gets to play.  Of course, fancy machines aren't necessary they just make life easier.

Materials:
Cardstock in a few colors
Stencil of dresses or Cricut ( I used Cricut Once Upon a Princess cardridge)
Scissor
Magnet tape, or Xyron with Magnet / Laminate Cartridge
Slicer to make things nice and neat
Altoids Can
Spray Paint
Sharpie Marker

Step 1 Prime the Altoid Container

The Altoids container is going to be used for two reasons: Easy storage when the paper doll is not being played with, and as the doll.  To prime the container, you will need to spray paint the back and front of the container.    This will take at least two coats of spray paint and 15 - 30 minutes to dry each time.

Cute idea! You should put the picture of the finished tin (with the yellow raincoat) in the Intro so that it appears in the thumbnail.
