Free DIY Halloween Paper Dolls with Cardboard Tubes

Only a few more weeks to go and it’s Halloween! It’s one of our favourite holidays, lots of candy and dress ups, need I say more! 

Halloween Paper Dolls

This is a very simple but fun activity to do at home with the kids to get into the Halloween spirit. Create your very own Halloween paper dolls with cardboard tubes and stickers! Cardboard tubes from toilet paper or paper towel rolls are a classic craft time staple in almost every household. And with lots of people at home now I’m sure large quantities of toilet paper rolls will be generated :). Print as many sheets as you would like, cut the stickers out by using scissors or a craft knife and stick them on a toilet or paper towel cardboard tube! The stickers work best on a paper towel roll (size wise), but you could also attach two toilet paper rolls together with sticky tape. If you don’t have any printable sticker paper at home, normal (A4) paper works fine too. Just cut the images out by using scissors or a craft knife and stick them on with glue. 

The Halloween paper dolls are inspired by Wednesday from The Addams Family, ‘The Room on the Broom’ witch (by Julia Donaldson & Alex Scheffler), and vampires :)! Happy crafting!!

PS: Please note that these stickers are intended for personal use only. Colours may vary depending on computer calibration and printer types.

DIY Paper Dolls With Toilet/Paper Towel Cardboard Rolls

Like lots of other households we’re doing lots of craft activities at home with the kids during this pandemic. The other day my 5 year old daughter wanted to make her own paper dolls which inspired this idea – ‘paper dolls made from cardboard tubes’.

I drew various paper doll themed shapes on my iPad and printed them out on sticker paper. I then cut out the stickers and we stuck them on the paper rolls together.

With everyone at home now I’m sure large quantities of toilet paper rolls will be generated :). I love craft activities that involve everyday objects like this. It’s been a favourite in our household and it’s great to see what creations the kids come up with. Their imagination is so much more vivid than mine :). The paper doll toys are also low in cost and sustainable. The printable stickers for the DIY paper dolls are available in my Etsy shop.

Have fun!
