Paper doll disign help - your talent needed

[SpectroMouse]

Okay talented designers I need your help! I have found a really cute website for creating paper dolls. (SEE BELOW) I need your help to Disney it up! I would like to make a set for my little boy (3) for our plane ride. I am thinking I will print it out on magnetic paper so the tabs will not be necessary.

The website says you can 'colorize and decorate them using your favorite graphics program on your computer' but I have absolutely no idea how to do that! Anyone up for the project? I would LOVE a Mickey T-shirt and set of Mickey ears, but am open to anything you would like to create. He loves Mickey, Tigger, and Buzz Lightyear but I know beggars can't be choosy.

On a side note, how I wish I had a daughter as well. It would open up so many princessy opportunities!

Thanks for looking and please help and design away!

I thought it would be fun to try, so I did! :)

Oh my gosh, these are amazing and you did them so quickly! Would you be interested in doing more? I have a daughter (3 yr. old), so some girly ones would be appreciated--minnie, princesses (any), Tink, etc. How about some costume characters that both boys and girls would enjoy-- pooh and gang, the fab 5, toy story. Just a thought. This is awesome! Thanks for the OP for the great idea!!

[milliepie]

Here are these for now... :)

OP here - Millipie, WOW! WOW!
WOW! I can't believe how quickly you did these! You are incredible! I LOVE all the outfits! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! :thumbsup2

[VBAndrea]

Could someone please enlighten me about magnetic paper? Does it work for an ink jet printer? Is it pricey? Where do you buy it (likely Michaels or ACMoore)?

Thanks :)

You're welcome, I'm so glad you like them! They were really fun to do, and I'm working on some more for you.

I've yet to buy magnetic paper for our magnets, but I hear you can get them at Michael's, some wal-mart stores and I'm pretty sure Office supply stores. It's 12 dollars for 5 sheets I think was said. Someone said they got some at their dollar tree. NOt sure about the jet printer, anyone else?


Here are a couple more "outfits" for girls...

Dharma trading also carries magnetic paper:

Yes you can run them through the printer and they work great.

Another option for making them is to use sticky magnet sheets and print the images on a heavyweight paper. Then do a rough trimming of the magnet sheet and stick the image on to the sticky side of the magnet, finish off by trimming to size, and then I use an acrylic clear coat spray to give them a more of a polished finish. This way you don't need to peel the extra sticky protective paper off what your not using and can use the scrap magnet for the smaller items.

[milliepie]

Adding a few more. :)

I have ALOT of little girls on our FE. Plus magnets to make. What is more economical - printing or cutting??
By the way, these are awesome!!

Oh my these are adorable.

Last year I bought magnetic play sets for my DDs to play with in the car, during our 16 hour drive to disney. This year, I think I'm going to print these out on magnetic paper for them - they are sooo darn cute.

I bought magnetic paper (Avery) from Amazon when they have sales. I bought a bunch for cruise magnets, but have some sheets left over . . .and now they have a purpose. :)

Thank you OP for asking. And Milliepie thank you for sharing your talent. My DDs are going to love them!

[dreaming-of-disney]

Thanks, Milliepie.
Your'e the best!:)

[dogodisney]

These are too cute and making them into magnets is a great idea. :thumbsup2

[mom3g1b]

You guys are awesome!!!!!So Talented.

You can buy magentic paper at an office supply store or some craft stores that you can run through your printer to print these on. Then you cut out the images and you are able to stick these on refrigerators or any metal surface to "dress" the dolls. If you are going to use them while you are traveling you could take a cookie sheet for your children to put the "paper dolls" on and dress. Hope that makes more sense.

Milliepie's paper dolls were sooooo darn cute...I couldn't resist trying a few.

I made all of these to fit 8.5x11 cardstock. Open up a word document and go to "file" then "page setup" then change all of the margins to "0". When you see a popup that says "...outside of printable area..." hit "ignore". Then copy and paste these into word. To make sure they are the correct size...go to "format" then "picture" and click on the "size" tab. Make sure that the image is 8.5x11. I left enough white margin around all of the images that you shouldn't have any problems with printing. Hope you like the dolls!

I found the "Epcot" outfits at http://www.makingfriends.com/f_Friends.htm and modified them slightly to fit these paper dolls. The paper dolls are different on their site but are super cute! Here is an example of one of their extra special paper dolls:

And finally...
I thought it would be fun to make t-shirts using Natalie's (Donatalie) t-shirt DISigns. All of the disney art on the t-shirts is Natalie's...all I did was pick the t-shirt color and put her wonderful DISigns on them. No ironing and I didn't have to worry about finding the perfect t-shirt or transfer paper...how wonderful!!!

And a few shorts and skorts to match...

Thanks for these. My DDs are going to play with these this afternoon. I also went to the link and printed out the clothes for them to decorate them.

I love the Disney disigns.

Thanks again! My girls are sooooo excited! I even sent the link to my mother who just got a pattern for dolls at the craft store to make for my 4 year old!

[dato63]

These new posts are full of adorable options. :) I'm going to need more magnetic paper!!

Thank you all for such great designs!!

[mom3g1b]

Milliepie and Dolly,
Do you think you could arrange the pages so that they just have outfits. I do not need the dolls because I bought the Melissa and Doug dolls. I know this may be too much to ask but I wanted to try not to waste the magnetic paper.

Thank you in advance!!!!

Other than the mermaid paper doll...all of my paperdolls are already seperate from the outfits. I do have a few hairstyles with the outfits but that is because they match the outfits, so I don't think there is any more seperating that I can do.

[ppiew]

Dumb question, I know. But do u cut out doll on magnetic paper and also the clothes? Where is a place to get the Melissa & Doug paper dolls? None here in my area. thanx

They were originally made for a mom that is driving with her children on vacation, and wanted to make them magnetic to keep them all together and to use with a cookie sheet to dress the dolls. That way there isn't a lot of paper peices all over the car. You print the dolls and clothes on magnetic paper and trim out.

Hope that answers your question.

[milliepie]

Here are the ones that I had with a doll. I think that's all of them. :)

Addicting to make for sure but fun!!! I wasn't sure what you were wanting...hope one of these works. If not I think the original one that you liked was Milliepie's and I'm sure she can make the perfect one for you. :) :

Also, I thought I would make the paper dolls flesh color instead of just white. :)

Thanks ladies!
Dolly,
the mermaid was the one I was talking about but I realized that I could just cut off the doll when I print it!
Milliepie, thank you !!!!!!!

[jtanddolly]

Milliepie, thank you !!!!!!!

I would be happy to take off the doll from the mermaid if you would still like me to. The reason that I left her on was that for the paperdolls that Milliepie and I used...the feet stick out the side if you put the mermaid tail over the paperdoll. So, I put them together and left the legs off. If that makes sense.

Anyways...just let me know and I will take off the body if that would help you.

[janet715]

I was wondering, if you print the doll out on magnetic paper, will the clothing stick to the doll? I think I remember having problems with this in the past for a different project, so I thought I'd see if anyone had any luck with it. Thanks!!!

These are great. Friends of ours are meeting us in Disney next month and I plan on making these as a surprise for my daughter and their 2 girls. Great designs!!! :thumbsup2

I haven't made these so I'm not sure. Has anyone else tried these yet?

Try seeing if the magentic paper will stick to the magentic paper before you print. If it doesn't work. Print the paper dolls on regular paper and the clothes/hair, etc. on magnetic paper. Then the outfits/hair will hold the paper doll to the fridge or cookie sheet.

Post on here what works best once you try it all out. Thanks!

[DisneyTravels]

Love the baseball!!! So does my DS!!!

Great job... I have Photoshop but have no clue how to use it...lol


THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

[bear74]

bump to see if their are any more great outfits.

[disdrmg]

These are so cute!!! I can't wait to surprise my kids with these. I usually pick up "trinkets" at the dollar store, etc. that are Disneythemed for our trip in the car, but these are so much better than anything I could buy!!

Is it possible to do a Star Wars theme for a boy, Jedi Mickey maybe or Star Wars t-shirt? And there fav. characters are Peter Pan and Wendy Darling. Would that be possible?

Thanks so much! I love them all!

[bear74]

bump with a wonder if someone could post some santa hats. we will be going next year and attending a MVMCP.
