Hello!
Original Paper Collage Painting by inkspired
All paper collages are hand cut from recycled junk mail - catalogs, flyers, magazines, etc.
Let’s have some fun with mermaid paper dolls!
Unless noted, these are all free for you to download and print for your personal enjoyment. Let’s play nice and not try to sell them or mass produce any.
Unfortunately most I have found on Pinterest with no identifying info on who drew them or where you could find them.
As always, I try to give credit where it is due. If you know information about any of these please let me know so I can give credit.
Some of the paper doll clothes do not have tabs, so be sure to add those when you are cutting them out.

Cory Jensen is a favorite paper doll artist of mine for two reasons. He is incredibly talented, and most of his paper dolls he offers for free! Here are a few of his:

Here are a few more versions of The Little Mermaid; many are styled after Disney’s Ariel.
‘Irina’ Collage Art Doll by inkspired
If you like these paper dolls the artist offers free ones when you sign up for her e-mails.
The second print is printed on paper. Cut the costumes out, remembering to add tabs if there aren’t any. If it needs to be colored, do this before you cut out.

Here is a jointed merman by a different artist-
Artist: Shawne Johnson
Here is another jointed PaperDoll, a mermaid, you can put together with brads, eyelets, or string.
Here is one by the same artist that you can color yourself-
This next one is just the mermaid. I thought it was such a great, simple design that you might like to draw some outfits for her.
Print her out. Go over the major lines with a black Sharpie. Place on a window, with a plain sheet of paper on top. Trace the main lines. Now you have the basic shape and you can start creating outfits to fit!
Make a few copies of the basic shape. Draw your clothes slightly larger, and don’t forget to add tabs. Since she is a mermaid, draw a stand so she can stand alone for playtime. You could draw a piece of coral or seaweed for her to ‘sit’ on.
Have fun!

I’ve covered many different styles of mermaids for you. Now the hard part - which one to pick to print and play with first?
