Are you ever planning on selling Coyote paper dolls? I would love to buy one, cut it out, and bring it on adventures!
Ah, I totally thought I had this in my PayHip! I have just added it.
Or, here, just have it! If you wanna tip me, just drop something in the Ko-Fi, but your joy is also enough if money is tight. ♥
Here's the more detailed instructions under the cut:
‘Primitive Wiggle’ Coyote Paper Doll Kit
by artist Maranda Cromwell

Hi! I’m Maranda, the designer of the Primitive Wiggles: silly, cartoon coyotes designed to be fun and freeing. And now you can make one, too!
You will need:
Printer
Paper
Scissors or craft knife
Coloring supplies (optional)
Awl / sharp tool for poking small holes
Metal brads x7 (8mm or smaller)
Print design on paper of choice. I recommend using a card stock, but anything thicker than printer paper should work well.
Color your Wiggle (optional). It’s easier to color them first before cutting out. (Refer to the body part guide on the back to see which part is which.) Recommended materials: markers, colored pencils, crayons, or pens. I would not recommend any art supplies that have a lot of texture, such as thick bodied acrylics or oil pastels. Use materials appropriate for the paper you’ve chosen. (Water-based media like watercolors or ink are not recommended, as they will wrinkle the paper.) Be sure not to cover up the joint hole spots, so you can see where to poke holes for the joints later.
Cut out shapes with scissors or craft knife.
Poke holes in the joint spots indicated. I use an awl for mine, but you can use anything similarly sharp and rigid. * Tip: Put your Wiggle on a piece of cardboard when poking holes. This prevents the paper from wrinkling.
Insert metal brads in the joint holes. Brads should be very small, in the 8mm range. Flatten the brad teeth on the back to attach limbs securely.
You’re done! Enjoy your new friend!
♥ Fun tip: obtain sticky-backed magnet tape and stick to the back of your Wiggle’s hands, feet, head, and tail to make a fun poseable magnet friend!
