As a grown woman, I have fond memories of making and playing with paper dolls when I was young. Perhaps that is why I was so excited to create these printable paper dolls.

You can easily make your own paper dolls along with clothing and accessories to go with them. I have created several printable paper doll templates for you to use. You can print out your own dolls, clothes, and accessories. All of them are simple, black and white designs so you can print and decorate them as you please; or, if you prefer, colorize and decorate them using your favorite graphics program on your computer. Another option is to print out the desired items and use them as a pattern to create felt, craft foam, or fabric dolls. The possibilities are endless!

No matter what kind of doll, clothing, and accessories you create, make sure you have fun and use your imagination. Remember to take a picture of your finished paper dolls, clothing, and even home-made houses and submit your pictures using these simple directions and it can be posted in the paper doll photo gallery for everyone to ooh and ah over. What a great way to show off all your creative talents! If you want to be one of the first to know when new paper dolls and other craft projects are posted, sign up for the Family Crafts Newsletter.

I have those fond memories too, Sherri. That may be where I started to draw and developed my love of crafting and art.

Thank you for the links. Maybe I can share my love with some of my great nieces!
