Steps (21 steps, 60 minutes)
-
1
Start by picking a full heigh image of yourself and opening it in your favourite software editing program. I used Fireworks!
-
2
Trace around the outline of your body with the lasso selector tool.
-
3
Choose the Select Inverse option from the menu.
-
4
And then select Delete to get rid of the background.
-
5
Now we're going to draw around the outline of the body using the pen tool, leaving a small margin. Add a few paper doll style tabs along the way.
-
6
When you're done, select the Basic Dash style for your outline.
-
7
Your doll is ready. Now let's add some accessories.
-
8
Take a photo of one of your accessories, chop out the background and scale to a size that matches your doll.
-
9
Line the accessory over your doll and chop off anything that doesn't fit.
-
10
I had to chop off the top of the scarf to give it a snug look around the neck.
-
11
Keep going until you have a complete range of accessories.
-
12
Print out your doll on to a magnetic sheet. I also included a little wardrobe to keep the spare accessories in. You can download my template above, if you'd like to use it.
-
13
Start by cutting out your doll with a pair of scissors. Leave a small tab at the top.
-
14
Punch a hole in to the tab at the top.
-
15
Cover the back of the doll in glue and stick on to a piece of white felt.
-
16
Cut out the doll and punch a hole through the felt to match the hole on the doll.
-
17
Open a jump ring and slip through the hole.
-
18
Slip on to a necklace chain and close the jump ring.
-
19
Continue cutting out the accessories. You don't want to leave a white border on these and you won't be backing them with felt.
-
20
Keep going, using the wardrobe to keep everything organized.

Dress up your doll and wear with pride!
