My girls and I have had such a good time designing and creating our own paper dolls and clothing that I wanted to share the good times! We also did this activity in our camp last week and the girls enjoyed it so much that we brought them out for 3 days in a row. The girls just didn't get tired of it! Paper dolls were a staple in my home when I was a little girl and I was shocked at how few of the girls had ever played with them.
So.....here is my paper doll tutorial!
Sketch out a body, legs and arms. Draw dots where you will make holes for connecting the limbs together and cut out.
Using scrapbooking brads, connect the limbs so that they become movable. You can also cut the elbow and knees joints out to create even more movement!
Sketch out clothing and make sure you remember to draw tabs so the clothes will stay on your doll!
Cut out the clothing. There's no limit to what kind of clothes you can design! Just make sure when you are drawing them, you trace around the doll to ensure a good fit.
Give your doll a good fitting session. You are now ready to get really creative with styling the doll and it's clothes. This is the best part!
And there you have it......a funky, little doll. Yes, I'm aware she's bit masculine.
