I usually use old (like a couple years old) fashion magazines like Vogue or Elle. They have really great, dramatic images. You can get them at used book stores or library sales for less than a dollar.
I like to back my dolls on card stock, chip board, recycled packaging like cereal boxes, the card stock that comes with stickers. Just a suggestion to help with sturdiness. Love your dolls! 😁
Awesome idea! I love these! I've laminated cut out people and used them as stencils and masks (utilizing both negative shapes and positive shapes) for junk journaling.
I have just stumbled upon your channel & I am loving every minute of this! New sub here, bed time for me now however I will be back early in the morning!
Today, must be my Paper Doll day…watched other vids earlier. I had several magazine (W magazine so images are large) images torned out from other project. Some of my paper dolls will be cut and laminated as is because I love it; others will be cut out and have images added. I have dress/gown Printables that I will add to person from magazine…and so on
Your video popped up when searching for paper dolls, this is new to me. I used to make them as a child but they had tabs on them to hold the dresses on. This is a fabulous way to do them, I will give this a try, thanks for sharing love Ann x
I'm glad you're here! I used to "design" paper doll clothes with tabs when I was a kid, too. I'd just trace around existing clothes and draw all kinds of wild patterns to color. (Not much has changed in that regard. Lol) I have a few traditional paper dolls now. Most of them came from Dover publishing. Hope you enjoy making some!
She turned out beautiful. Thank you for sharing and inspiring. Have so much of images, now to use them up and this is definitely one way of doing so. Take care.
Thank you! I used to enjoy creating collages with magazine pics plus assorted papers, and paints. I still have my collages. I love dolls too and paper dolls. Your video instructions… inspirations, are the most inspiring for me that I’ve seen. I love your work. You really brought me back to wanting to make art again.🤗 I liked and subscribed.
Oh she turned out perfect! A great way to use up some of the futzy little stickers we all have. I have been cutting out images for years with the intent of doing this very thing. Now I am inspired! Thanks, and subscribed! 🦋
Love these ideas! I will be looking at my Elle magazines in a new way, now. But, please, DO NOT throw away your paper stash! There are so many ppl who search high and low for journal fodder and would cherish such a find. Maybe an art reuse center, teacher’s supply donation center, or your local school art teachers? Your beautiful stash deserves better than a trash heap.💗👩🏾🤝👩🏻💗
Hi! Thanks so much for your comments. Don't worry about things getting thrown away. I have trouble tossing out the tiniest of scraps. Lol. We have a recycle art center here (which is where I go if I need something specific), so if I decide to let go of magazines, etc. they'll go there. Sometimes I think about cleaning everything out, but then I think I might want it. (So much paper and so little space!) Do you have lots of paper to store? If so, what's your system? :)
@@craftmagickandcheese I am new to mixed media, but have a rapidly growing collection of papers that I am constantly adding to. I use several storage methods including binders with page protectors, some with machine sewn pockets for different sized pieces; file folders within hanging folders that I added fabric to close the open sides and keep pieces from falling out; a couple accordion folders with file sections and a plastic scrapbook paper portfolio, all found at thrift shops. I’m always willing to change things up if I find new storage solutions that don’t take a lot of space.
@@tarataylor104 Those are all great ideas. I never thought about closing up the sides of file folders. I have a storage tub system. Recently I've started sorting things with tubs into see-through envelopes or large ziplock bags. No matter how I sort it, though, I always think there has to be a better way. :)
Hi, right now I'm dealing with some medical issues, so I'm not filming. But, I can tell you about my super simple set up. I use a goose neck, bendable tablet holder from Amazon. I paid about $20 for it. (A lot of people use them to hold/access phones and tablets as a secondary screen while they work on a computer.) When I clamped it to my table, I thought it moved too much, so my hubby used some scrap wood to make a little clamping spot on the ceiling. Thus, the tablet hangs over my table out of my way and doesn't move, but I can take it on and off easily. I can also use the gooseneck to adjust it's position. I hope this helps. :)
Why don’t you give away your extra scraps to someone like me who is learning your art? I would love to have them because you would have different types of papers from what I have. Just a suggestion. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Love these paper dolls.
Hello and welcome! Thanks for watching. Actually, I have already donated some of my extra materials to a local artist resource center. It’s a place where artists and teachers can get materials for free. :)
Can you possibly do a men's paper dolls kinda like this? I like to use men and women if possible. This is a great start for me but a men's version would also be useful.
Hi! I’m sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Apparently I missed several comments when I returned from vacation! I’m trying to think what I might do differently to a men’s version. I love flowers and bling, so it might still turn out pretty girly. lol - Maybe some fabric scraps from one of my hubby’s old ties or shirt would look good. Let me contemplate how that might work. :)
Thank you! I remember making dolls and clothes from old catalogs, too. :) I also remember tracing the clothes and designing my own colors and patterns. Lol
Looks like some of mine. I have had an enjoyable adventure working with my paper dolls. It is eventful , hilarious, and interesting, and fun.😮
Having fun is the goal. :)
❤I love your dolls and ideas. Angela Bassett is the epitome of regal.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Wow,. I usually cut out sceneries from magazines. Now I have a new hobby. Thank you.
I'm so glad you like this idea! Post a picture when you have some done. :)
I played with "dolls" and clothing myself and loved to see your process if it. They look just gorgeous ❤
Thank you. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video.
Looks so supremely fun & crafty!! ❤
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I am off to look through magazines! Thanks for showing this. ❤
Have fun!
You may have said and I missed some how :). What magazines do you find these awesome pictures. I love what you do with them.
I usually use old (like a couple years old) fashion magazines like Vogue or Elle. They have really great, dramatic images. You can get them at used book stores or library sales for less than a dollar.
What a wonderful idea. I’m certainly going to have a go. Thank you.
I hope you have fun with it. :)

Your paper dolls and Twisted Art Designs paper dolls are so awesome!
Thank you! I love Twisted Art Designs. Her attention to detail is beautiful.
Cool project! Have you thought of giving them legs? I love magazine collage dolls!
I’ve thought about it, but usually I stick to the long dresses. :)
Those are really cool. I have a.10 yr old great granddaughter who may like these.
The Bee Lady was very creative and ingenious! TFS your techniques.
Amazing project! When I was young there were only cut out paper dolls and then punch out dolls and clothes. Hours of fun with my sisters.
Thank you! I remember playing with those paper dolls, too. Great fun as a kid. :)

I used to draw paper dolls, dresses, accessories and doll rooms. Me and my sister had so much fun with them
Oh,me too! I loved making paper dolls and creating outfits when I was a kid. :)
@@craftmagickandcheese full of happy memories, I should do it again!
I like to back my dolls on card stock, chip board, recycled packaging like cereal boxes, the card stock that comes with stickers. Just a suggestion to help with sturdiness. Love your dolls! 😁

Those are magnificent!!!

I made one from a skeleton and got their outfit from a vogue magazine. Turned out to be a fun Halloween card I sent to a pen pal. 😊
@@eternalabundance39 That sounds like great fun! I love the idea of a skeleton paper doll. I’ll have to put one in my Halloween journal.
Thank you. 😀
@@craftmagickandcheese that's a great idea would love to see it. Please do more videos on this I really adore it!
@@eternalabundance39 I have a couple other paper doll videos. Here's one using animal faces: ua-cam.com/video/euVayWtzoGs/v-deo.html
