Make a beautiful set of fairy paper dolls in flower-themed dresses. There are four fairies to colour and make with mix-and-match wings.
This is a simple fantasy-themed DIY toy that will inspire hours of imaginary play.
As a kid, I adored paper dolls. Like any DIY toy, paper dolls are two activities in one—something to make and something to play with!
I know I would have loved this set of printable fairy dolls as a kid, as would my two girls.
In fact, age has nothing to do with it. These paper dolls were fun to make as an adult, and the second Miss Teen saw what I was making she wanted to create one too. Hers is the pink petal fairy on the left below. You can’t tell in the photo, but the hair has been coloured with glitter gel pens so it has a bit of extra sparkle.
They turned out so pretty!
Card stock is needed for this craft or the fairy bodies won’t be strong enough to support the glued-on wings.

How to make Fairy Paper Dolls
You will need
- White card stock
- Markers – either permanent or washable kids markers
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- The template, available from our printables store and TPT store
How to
Print all pages of the template to white card stock.
Colour the fairies and their wings.
Cut the shapes out.
Glue the skirt into a cone shape and fold the fairy at the waist so she stands upright.
Fold the wings so they sit at an angle from the centre tab and glue them to the fairies’ backs.
Now all that’s left to do is play!
