Tutorial: Paper Doll stand

Rosie, artworker July 21, 2013

Paper Dolls: make them stand up. Here's a tutorial on making my flat folding stand... [and here’s an update on a simplified version for a smaller stand]

To begin by way of design explanation:

 I like the base already drawn on some of the dolls as seen below, so this is what I’ll use for my stand.

It elevates the figure slightly, provides a practical straight, stable terminal edge and conceals any fixings behind.

I used spray adhesive to fix the printed doll onto card, then cut out on the outlines, reasonably carefully, leaving the base attached. Then I made the stand, fixed it onto this and then glued on the balsa upright support.
