Looking for some way to decorate for Valentine's Day now that the world has been thrown into chaos? If you haven't burnt the newspaper left over from last week's tablecloth DIY for warmth, why not make some paper doll chains. I made mine into zombies as an homage to my pre-apocalyptic Valentine's Day crafting tradition, but if you don't have the stomach for zombies anymore (totally understandable), then you may just want to make regular paper dolls.
Materials:
*Newspaper
*Scissors
*Pencil
*Pen
*Black marker
*Crimson paint (optional)
*Paintbrush (optional)
Directions:
*Take a strip of newspaper and fold it accordion style.
*Sketch half the outline of a person along one edge of the paper. The figure's arm should be outstretched and should reach roughly the center of the paper. Draw a second half outline which is holding hands with the first. You may want to sketch the silhouettes in pencil and then go over them with a pen.
*Cut out the silhouettes and then unfold to reveal the paper doll chain.
*Draw on faces with a marker.
*If you're going for the zombie look, add blood splatters and maybe snip off some limbs.
