About This Project

A 30–90 minutes craft for ages 3–10, using supplies you likely already have — Scissors, Markers, and Printer.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Fashion Designer Printable Paper Dolls

    "Are you as excited to make this as I am?"

    Step 1: Print your dolls

    Use a printer to print the paper dolls. Regular paper is fine, but for extra sturdy dolls, we recommend printing on cardstock.

    Step 2: Cut and Color

    Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to color your dolls and their clothes. Get creative! Add stripes, polka dots, rainbows, or your favorite characters! Want more shirts? Print just that page multiple times so you can make more of what you love.

    Step 3: Design your own

    Now that you've got the hang of making clothes from a template, try your hand at making your own! You can use the existing pieces as a guide. Try combining your favorite skirt and shirt into a new dress! Turn the flare leg pants into a mermaid tail. Add stripes or bling to your favorite pair of shoes. We can't wait to see what you'll create!
