Tips to Make This Mulan Movie Night Craft
- I have a thing for making templates for my kiddo to work from. It’s part of the learning process to see how each piece is made and how they come together to make the whole. So, of course, for this Mulan paper doll, I made a free template you can grab here.
- When I make paper dolls and paper roll craft, I love to use construction paper. It’s thin, but tough and I can buy a huge pack to keep the kid occupied with a million different fun colors. So, dig in the craft room for that construction paper!
- If you want to make a little Mushu to go with your Mulan paper doll, just grab a little bit of red paper and cut out an “s” shape. Trust me, super easy–just add eyes and the kid will be astounded!
How Do I Make this Mulan Paper Doll?
I’m so glad you asked. Below is our written tutorial.
Mulan Paper Doll
This Mulan paper doll is a fun kid's paper craft that they can make in just a few minutes with the free template!
Materials
- Colored craft papers
Tools
- Craft glue
- Marker pen
- Pencil
- Scissors
Instructions
- Select a colored craft paper for the skin tone. Also select green, yellow, blue, red, black and pink colored craft papers for the Mulan paper doll craft. Trace the body and hand patterns on the paper selected for the skin. Trace the other patterns on the appropriate colored craft papers (see Mulan’s dress for idea).
- Grab the yellow rectangle paper and create small and even accordion folds on it. This will be the skirt of Mulan paper doll.
- Grab the green (long sleeves) top and attach the 2 small strips along the top neck border of it. Grab the blue top and attach the red strip along the middle part of it.
- Now attach the blue top on the top of the green top.
- Cut a slit along the yellow line of the hair pattern.
- Insert the top side of the head through the slit from the bottom side of the hair pattern. Apply glue to fix the position of the head and hair.
- Attach the green-blue top on the top side of the paper body.
- Attach the accordion folded skirt right below the top. Hold the top end of the accordion folded paper to bring its width same as the width of the body and then attach it. Use a black pen to draw the eyes, nose and mouth of Mulan.
