Things You'll Need:
- Lightweight cardboard
- Printer/copy machine
- Colored markers or pencils
- Colored paper, vellum, scrapbook paper
-
Step 1
Go to the Warner Brothers website (see Resources below) and find the Wizard of Oz character coloring pages.
-
Step 2
Make two copies of each character on copy paper.
-
Step 3
Cut away the excess clothing areas on one copy to create a doll with the shape of a character standing in underwear.
-
Step 4
Place the character on a scanner bed and make a copy on lightweight poster board or cardstock. The cardboard must be pliable to feed through the scanner or printer bed.
-
Step 5
Cut two 1/4-inch slits in the bottom of the paper doll. Cut out a piece of the same material 1/2 inch by 5 inches. Fold in half. Cut 1/4-inch slits 1/2 inch from each end. This is the paper doll stand. Color in the character. Run the character and the stand strip through a lamination machine if desired.
-
Step 6
Set the paper doll stand at the back of the doll. The V shape will point away from the doll. Set the bottom of the doll with slits into the slits cut in the stand.
-
Step 1
Cut up the coloring pages that you photocopied, and remove the clothing in one piece.
-
Step 2
Place the cut-out clothing piece on a piece of patterned or plain scrapbook or vellum paper. Trace the font and back sides. Sketch in square tabs at the shoulders and sides. Tabs can be positioned any place where the clothes outline the body.
-
Step 3
Cut out the clothing piece with the tabs.
-
Step 4
Decorate, color, and add embellishments to the front of the piece of clothing.
-
Step 5
Place clothing on the paper doll, and fold tabs over the shoulders and other areas of the body to hold it in place.
