I just made a batch of these Frida inspired paper doll ornaments for my purple Christmas tree and thought I’d post it as a tutorial! Free printable and everything! We’ve been decorating our retail store and I’ve been making a variety of ornaments. These are my favorite!
Here is a link to a free PDF printable you can use to make ornaments for your personal use: frida-dollSingle1
You can print it out on heavy cardstock, cut around the shape and use it as the base for your ornament!
I used the drawing I made of Frida and printed it on white cardstock, then my Crafty Chica papers with a Sizzix die – here is the link to the die! (affiliate)
I glued on washi tape, gems, feathers and each one came out with her own personality! Once it was all decorated, I cut a piece of twine and hot glued it to the back.
More ideas
If you want you can decorate the back as well, I didn’t. But I might in the future! You could also use glittered cardstock for her dress, and add tiny flowers on her head. So many ideas!
And here they are! I made five of them!
This is the die I used!

these are really cute
Hi, this are beautiful, what is the machine you use to cut with. Thanks.
Thanks! I used a Sizzix Big Shot!
I really love this ornament and as I print out Frida she is really big. By the time I add a dress shes gonna be too big for an ornament for my little 4ft tree. Maybe Ill just have to make a wreath out of her.
Hi Chelsea! Yiu can print her out smaller if you want!
I was so excited when I saw this! Went to the link no Chica papers and no dress die
It looks like they are sold out! But I have a new product line coming out later this month! stay tuned!
Will you be restocking the paper? I hope so!!
Change your setting to default and it will print it out smaller.
