How to make Halloween paper dolls

At the final hour, and because we don’t have the use of our kitchen just yet (no sink makes EVERYTHING difficult), we had a bit of an idea. It’s possibly the easiest idea since our Halloween ghost biscuits. Yass!!! To make Halloween paper dolls. Because, what could go wrong. Absolutely nothing! So, here’s our cheat sheet, easey-peasy, literally no-steps needed guide on how to make Halloween paper dolls.

How to make Halloween paper dolls

What you will need:

• Pre-made paper dolls (or make your own with paper)
• String or ribbon to join the dolls together
• Colouring pen and pencils
• Crafty bits for decoration (optional)
• Glue (for the optional decorating with crafty bits)
• Scissors

Step one

Design and draw a character for each of your paper dolls. We did a witch, dracula, a mummy, frankenstein and vampire witch. Go wild!

Step two

Before any colouring or decorating, you’ll want to join your paper dolls together (unless they are already joined). Simply fold each doll under the arms and make a snip with the scissors on each side of the body.

When you open the doll, you’ll see a little space to thread your string or ribbon through.

Now join them altogether. They should look like bunting.

Step three

Get decorating! We just used whatever we had to hand as most of our crafty bits are boxed away at the moment.

And there you have it… Halloween paper dolls!

Hang them across your windows, door, wherever you fancy. They look pretty cute don’t they 😉
