Three Ways to Create Your Own Dress Up Games


What can you do when the internet is down or your brother won’t relinquish his seat for you to play your favorite online dress up games? If you can’t get to your games online, you’ll simply have to create your own dress up games. You have a few options on how to do this:

1. Cut out models from magazines and use the cut-outs as paper dolls. You can play with them as it, or you can use each one as a model for more clothing you create yourself. If you flip through a catalog for a certain store looking for models, you’ll find the same ones appear over and over again. Cut out the same girl in various outfits to use in your dress up game.

2. Ask your mother if she has any original paper dolls from before things like this moved online. If she does, you might get hooked on how interesting the old fashioned paper dolls can be.

3. If you’re an artist, spend the morning drawing a doll base in black ink on white paper. Cut her out and then use white paper and a pencil to sketch new outfits for her by tracing her shape underneath. You might just find terrific satisfaction is designing the whole game yourself – not just playing someone else’s version of it.
