How to make a paper doll costume:
- Begin by printing the template of the dress that is at the bottom of the page for inspiration. Be sure to respect the proportions of the garment.
- Then, place the large piece of cardboard on the floor. You will have to lie down on the cardboard so that your Mom can mark the dimensions of your shoulders and your waist.
- Then your mom will draw life-size outlines of two parts that make up the dress on the piece of cardboard and cut them out. Be careful not to forget the slots because it make all the charm of costume.
- Once the cut templates, reproduce the outlines of two doll costume pieces on a gift paper and cut them out.
- It is then necessary to add two holes to the right and left sleeves. Then you need to insert a long enough piece of string on each side to be able to cross back. This step will allow the top of the dress to be secure and will prevent it from moving.
- You must then drill 2 holes at the waist of the skirt to slide the silk ribbon as a stylish belt.
- The next step is the trickiest. We'll have to put the pieces of wrapping paper on cardboard supports. Brush 2 boxes of white glue and evenly distribute the glue with the brush. Lay the wrapping paper on each part and secure with hands.
- Take the lace cake doily and hollow out the center. Cut the decorative lace outline pieces, 1 piece for Peter Pan collar of the dress, two smaller pieces for the sleeves of the dress, 2 or 3 for the petticoat of the dress. Paste the lace on the sleeves and collar, but stick lace petticoat under the dress of the doll.
- Resume each notch on white paper, cut them out and paste them. Outline dash marks on the notches with the black marker.
- Carefully mark the petticoat holes with the tip of your scissors, then move the silk ribbon through the holes and tie skirt around the waist.
- Thread the top of the dress, cross and tie the wool in the back.
Your paper doll costume is finished! All that is left is to make the handbag and a bow for your hair. You can print accessories to cut that you'll find at the bottom of the page.
