For printing, I took them to WalMart and had them printed and then checked to make sure they were all printed in the right size and shade. Some had to be reprinted so it was worth checking them at the store.
Once they are printed, cut them out as if they were the dolls. The first ones I cut out leaving a little around the edge because I knew we were putting them on magnet sheets. When I cut them after they were on the magnet sheeting, they left a ridge and were harder to cut exactly.
So, cut them out just as you want them to look. 
Then, place them on the sticky side of the magnet sheeting all except the main doll. Stick them on as close as you can so you can use all the magnet sheet. Use small pointed and sharp scissors to cut out the clothes etc which will allow you to get into tight corners of hair and clothes.

agnet sheeting for the paper dolls because the magnet is on the same side and you want the clothes to stick to the doll. There are two options. We tried another option but it didn't work out well. First, we tried sticking the magnet sheet to itself on the opposite side and stuck her main doll on using double sided tape. This worked to some extent but when we tried to put clothes on her, the magnets poles were off and pushed the clothes off and repelled them rather than having them stick.

Get another sheet of magnet with no sticky side. 
I used one from a calender that stuck to the fridge. Stick double sided sticky tape on the back of the doll and stick it to the magnet. Check it out first by placing the doll on it and then placing the clothes on to make sure they will stick and not be repelled before you do any taping or gluing. Once taped or glued, cut around so it is just the basic doll and it will work. The other option is to not put the doll on a magnet and just use the clothes to keep the doll on the fridge or locker. The doll is thin and you could just stick it on with a piece of tape and then use the clothes to dress it up.

You can put it on a magnet and then put it on thin wood or cardboard. Make a base out of a wooden block and cut a ridge into the base wide enough for the doll to stand in. I didn't go that route because I like the doll on the fridge where people come and change the outfit etc. It also would be fun to surprise your child but putting it in their locker at school for a birthday surprise or another holiday.
The fun continues.....
