DIY:Paperdolls

Hello everyone! I haven't posted for a long time because of technical difficulties that I've been having with blogger. But now, I want to do a fun DIY, on paper dolls.
I adore paper dolls. I hardly ever play with them, but there's just something about cutting out the dolls and putting on the outfits that I find somewhat addicting. Buying them, however, can be expensive, so I've taken to making my own. Here's how:

Supplies:
-paper
-colored pencils or another coloring method
-scissors
-a sharp pencil


1)Draw a person. It can be a totally made-up person, a charater from a book, or a person in real life.

 2)Next, color your person in. With paper dolls, its best to color lightly to give them a nice soft texture.



3)Cut the person out.

4)Trace a basic outline around her body and elaborate it to create clothes. Don't forget tabs!                       

5) You can make more clothes for the doll, as well as more dolls. I traced the first one  to makd the others so that they can all wear the same clothes.
