by Angela Shell A doll of the 80's and one in great demand: that is what many people think of cabbage patch dolls. Some people have caught on to this craze and have taken advan- tage of the lack of availability of the original dolls and begun to make their own. Last year in her eighth grade home economics class Mrs. Diana Frownfelter, with the help of the owners of the Little Red Hen, taught students who were interest- ed how to make the dolls. The students worked on the dolls for about four weeks. Each student sculptured their doll's face and chose the hair color, giving each doll an original look. The teachers painted on the eyes and advised the students on sculpting measures. Due to lack of time, the students bought baby clothing to dress the dolls, instead of making them. MRS. DIANA FROWN- FELTER: I thought it was a fun project. All of the students seemed to enjoy making them since the dolls are such a hot item. After the class was over, fresh- man Gina Shell made a few more dolls for the fun of it, and before she knew it, people were asking her to make the dolls. GINA SHELL: 'SI really liked making the dolls in class, and thought I would make a few on my own. My mom then told some peo- ple at work, and they asked if I HME FRE H N Craze sweeps dolls from store shelves Adopted kids in demand to fulfill American need Cabbage patch industry underway in home factory 'W 4' SCHOLARS FRESHMEN would make them one if they p me. After much consideration Sl decided that making and selling dolls wasn't such a bad idea, z she liked the idea of having so extra spending money. A big decision for Shell was price she should charge for dolls. After talking to others v sell dolls and observing the cos1 store bought dolls, Shell decidec sell them for twenty dollars. 1 twenty dollars a person got the d for which they could choose I and eye color, and one outfit, wh Shell also made. The material 1 other equipment needed to mi one doll came to an estimate of dollars. It took about seven ho to complete one doll and outfit Shell made seven dolls for pec to give as Christmas gifts. She 2 made a few to give as gifts hers Some of her Christmas orders w given to her early in the summ GINA SHELL: I proba could have sold more than I did lot of people want cabbage pa dolls, but they are time consumi and with school work I could make them all. ANGELA SHELL: Gina kind of tired of making the doll nearly had to kill her to make one for Christmas, but she did. Shell isn't the only individ who has made money on this c. bage patch craze, and who knc how long it will last. Photo by Melinda Shell.
