Craft for the month of December



Magnetic paper dolls!!

There’s are great for girls ages 3 and up! I have made several sets they are so easy to make!
They work well to do with a tin, or on a fridge, or to be played with on an old cookie sheet, or with magnetic paint on a child’s bedroom wall!

You will need
  1. printable paper dolls
Betsy McCall dolls Here 
The Gingham girls Here  
Patty Reed Here 
Rosebud girls Here 
Old time children fashion Here 


  1. Adhesive magnetic sheets or printable magnetic sheets (I recommend adhesive sheets) Here 

  1. laminate adhesive (shelf liner works great!) Here 
  2. seizers

(All these items can be found at the Dollarama store as well!)

Print off your paper dolls, cut them out,
stick them to the adhesive magnetic sheets, 

laminate, 
and cut out! 
Walla! You have magnetic paper dolls

If you buy the printable magnetic sheets, you will need an inkjet printer, as the magnetic paper is not good with the laser printers.
Select your paper dolls, print them off on the sheets, laminate and cut them out.
It sounds like less work, but I found that it was hard to find paper dolls that I liked, that would print out on a sheet without wasting a lot of magnet, and that is why I like the adhesive.
(these were made from the printable magnetic sheets)





and one other set made with adhesive

(Unfortunately I don’t remember where I got these two last sets, or I would post the links.)




Happy crafting!
