Paper Street Dolls was co-created by sisters Claire and Julie Sheridan in 2015, born from our love for paper, colour, decorating and a desire to work together combining our passions. Creating increasingly elaborate Christmas decor since we were little, we decided it would be best to come up with a way to be elves for all seasons, to make and use paper decorations all year round and share our creations with the like-minded round the globe.

Claire graduated with a BAHons in Textiles from the Glasgow School of Art where she specialised in print, and has many years experience as a freelance textile designer and community artist, becoming a founding member of a Glasgow based arts collective. Julie graduated with a BAHons in Communication Design, and has worked on a variety of illustration and design projects alongside freelance community arts.

Our love of colour, nature, pop-culture and so much more combines with our experience working with people - inspiring our contemporary decorations that evoke nostalgia, blend the traditional notions of what is art and what is craft, and diy kits that can bring the joy of creation to everyone. Basically, our ethos is we're like if the Arts and Crafts movement had watched a lot of film and tv.
