Paper Doll Chains

• 1). Select some plain paper to use for the dolls.
  
  
• 2). Remember that the key to making connected paper dolls is to always fold in the same direction and leave part of the main fold uncut.
  
  
• 3). Begin by folding the paper in half. Then fold it in half again, making sure that you make the fold on the same side as the first fold.
  
  
• 4). Continue folding in this manner until the paper is the size you desire, usually at least 4 inches wide.
  
  
• 5). Draw your doll shape on the paper. Make sure that parts of the doll will be right against the fold.
  
  
• 6). Cut the outside of the doll first. Next cut parts of the doll out on the folded side.
  
  
• 7). Do not cut all parts of the doll out on the folded side. People often leave the hands and feet against the fold.
  
  
• 8). Open the paper, and you will have a string of dolls connected by the hands and feet.
