Paper dolls, what to do with them?

I have a pile of paper dolls that can be measured in feet, long none in collectable condition, some disintegrating, because they were played with for at least 3 generations story short I could use some ideas of projects to make with them. Some I'd like to be able to keep the whole set together, others it doesn't matter. And they've all been scanned for future generations so the paper parts might as well be enjoyed.

Classic solution - cover a box or trunk in them.
Frame them with appropriate extras
Paste them onto magnet paper and play with them on the refrigerator
Print out scaled down versions and let the dolls play with them
Share them with us!

Saw a really neat idea for a fan, going to look in to a dance card idea for the Pink Prom Twins. There is some drama going on with that set. I have a good dozen brides to deal with, I want to do some sort of obsessive bride thing with them. Hopes are to combine the dolls and a stack of scrapbook papers. I'm seeing themes such as pink, dress in white, or all black. There's some Exquisite Corpse parts and people from Fruits magazine as well.

There aren't any trunks here in good shape, some of them are small enough for note cards but others are almost as tall as 1/6 dolls, if they wen't in shadow boxes they'd need to be big. They'd make interesting sketch book covers or large scale gift envelopes. Trying to figure out how to put them on fabric perhaps to make book covers.
