25 Printable Paper Dolls
Today we have a beautiful collection of Vintage Printable Paper Dolls! We all know that paper dolls are a classic toy. There’s something so magical about the simplicity of them, and today we’re bringing it back with with these darling printable paper dolls!
These are great fun to do with the kiddos, but also they can be embellished with lace and fabric and whatever else you might want to add… and then placed in your Junk Journals or Collages. I’ve also had readers over the years that have told me that they take these to nursing homes, and that the residents really enjoy cutting these out and playing with them.
Interchangeable Printable Paper Doll Ladies
To start off this collection we have a beautiful vintage paper doll bust. You will notice that she is wearing the same blouse as the Pierrot doll below. This is a three – quarter headshot of a beautiful woman wearing a lace top with red roses on a vine around the top. (Grab the Arms and Legs from the next doll in this post to use for this lady as well!)

Here’s something fun and quirky for you to play with! Shown is a Victorian Paper Doll head and shoulders of a Pierrot Clown Lady. The head is in the first printable link above and the arms and legs are in the second link. You can cut out the parts and assemble her with brads, then use your imagination to make her some pretty outfits! I think she would work well in a Circus setting! Fun for both kids and grown ups!
Vintage Paper Dolls Scraps
Here we have a beautiful Victorian Scrap Girl. She is an antique Die Cut Scrap Piece. Wouldn’t she make such a fun Paper doll? I could see her with a pretty fabric skirt attached to the bottom of her bodice. Lots of possibilities here, and I’m sure you guys will come up with many more ideas!
Here’s another lovely little Victorian lady, or at least half of one!! This is a sweet faced girl dressed in a ruffled pink blouse. I could see her with a pink tulle tutu. These are so much fun for collage, but also would work well as a little Paper doll by simply adding a paper or fabric skirt!

Nursery Rhyme Paper Dolls

I think this one is so cute!!! Here we have an antique set of Paper dolls, with the theme of the nursery rhyme ‘The House that Jack Built.’ It’s not complete I’m afraid, but many of the main characters are present, including Jack (in the green jacket), the House, the Man, the Malt, the Maiden, and the Cow. I’m placing this in the Vintage Kids Printable section, but adults can play with them too!

I adore this Printable Jointed Paper Doll from a 1920’s Jointed Toy Book! I’ve had this book for a while now, but the pages were all scribbled up by some excited child, and it takes a whole lot of work to clean this up! This little Doll is ‘Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary’ from the Old Nursery Rhyme. You can print this out, add some color, cut, and then assemble as shown in the image at the top of the page. You will probably want to use some brads to attach everything, so that all the pieces will move.
Cut and Color Thanksgiving Printable Paper Dolls

This is a sweet Thanksgiving Paper Doll Costume Set. It comes from an old newspaper from the early 1900’s. This little girl has three outfits perfect for Thanksgiving. They including a Native American costume, a Pilgrim costume, and there is even a Turkey costume!!! Cut out and color all of the pieces for hours of fun! I would suggest printing this out twice; once with cardstock, so that the doll is on a firmer paper, and once with regular paper, for the outfits.
I hope you enjoyed this fun curated collection of Printable Paper Dolls! You might also like our splendid collection of 20 Retro Dolls of the World HERE!

I’ve seen Mopsy on line! Try Miss Missie’s Paper Dolls. Also newspapers have what are called morgues and some of these are on l for time travelers like us! You can find lots of old paper dolls that way.
Karen Watson says
Thanks for the tips Jackie!
Naomi Shelton says
I have been going through some old papers trying to purge some of my clutter and found a box with paper dolls that my mother cut out from the newspaper. They have printing on the back from the paper. And there is clothing that fit the dolls cut from the newspaper also. Now, just so you know, I just turned 80 so these paper dolls are OLD! I will not get rid of them! Unless someone is willing to pay me a LOT of money for them! They are special to me because when I was a little girl my mother and I used to cut heads with faces that we liked out of the catalog and then she would draw a body in a certain pose to glue onto the head and then we would draw and color clothing with tabs for the dolls to wear. Perhaps I will find some of those in another box!
Karen Watson says
That’s wonderful Naomi! You should definitely hold on to those. Such treasures!
Zelda Pickenmeier says

Hazel Parrish says
Thank you for the delightful paper dolls. My granddaughter and I cut some out from an internet site about a week ago. I shared with her that I use to be so excited when McCall’s Magazine came out because in the back of every issue were paper dolls. I use to have a shoe box full. My granddaughter ask me where that shoe box was now. I laughed and said it past away with my childhood. We will have great fun playing with these paper dolls. Thank you again for sharing and bringing to life a childhood from long ago.
Karen Watson says
Aw! Thanks for sharing those lovely memories Hazel. I hope you have fun making new paper doll memories with your granddaughter!

Teddee Grace says
Oh, paper dolls. I love them. My sister and I grew up with Mopsy, a real glamourpuss in the 50s with a short black curly hairdo and the most wonderful clothes. She had her own comic strip in our newspaper, The St. Joseph (Missouri) Gazette, every Sunday and we had boxes full of these wonderfully fun dolls and clothes. I’ve never been able to find any of these online. You would think someone could make these available again. Thanks for these.
Karen Watson says
Aw! Thank you for sharing that wonderful memory Teddee! I remember playing with paper dolls, but I don’t remember the names of mine. We usually got a new set each year when we would go on our family vacation, it kept my sister and I busy in the car so that we would be quiet while my Dad was driving. haha! Have fun playing with these. 😊
