How to Make an American Girl Doll School Binder
When we looked up requests for a doll binder, it was in the hundreds. We couldn’t even list all the people who put out a request for this craft! We might need to make a few different versions so our doll students have a good variety. Thank you so much to everyone who asked for this! It is easy and so cute. It is very similar to how we make doll books and the doll photo albums. We spiced it up a bit this time using fabric instead of scrapbook paper, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Our dolls are ready for school to start!
Materials Needed:
- Scissors
- Paperboard or Heavy Card Stock
- Scrapbook Paper or Fabric
- Paper Clips
- Glue
- Velcro *Optional
- American Girl Binder Template
- American Girl Filler Paper Printables
TIPS:
- To keep the binder from popping open, velcro is a good option. You can use a velcro dot or cut a small piece from a strip.
- mark where you want your holes to be on your papers and folders before you hole punch. You don’t want to punch in the wrong place and then they don’t fit int he binder.
- You can use the template provided and make a few cute dividers for your binder! Just trace it onto scrapbook paper, hole punch it, label and stick them in!
Watch and tell us what your dolls are doing to prepare for back to school!

Hi, I'm Rudy! I'm a young mom of three beautiful kids, two girls and one boy. Our life is busy and full of crafts, especially for our American Girl Dolls. We love working together to create new things and we hope you enjoy our creations also!
This is Launa Loofers. She is crazy all the time and is an amazing gymnast. In fact, we started this blog on her ideas for her dolls to be gymnasts just like her! 
This is my handsome little man. He is the only boy in this house full of girls and dolls. He is a good sport though. He loves his 'boy American Girl dolls' and his action figures. And is always right in the mix of craft time creations!
Lexie is full of fun and always has a smile on her face. She is the youngest, but don't let that fool you, she has a BIG opinion!

Could you please make a doll backpack?!?!
Hey I was wondering if you could try to make a lunch box please. Hope you can. Thank you.
Could you somehow make a locker out of poster board? Also it would be cool if you made a pencil case that could go in the binder.
This is incredible! I love it. I was so inspired by your website. The videos, photos, everything. So I decided to create my own via wordpress- maybe you could take a look? You can find it here:

They are on the same printables as the binder template.
Just wanted to know where to find the dividers you talk about in the video hanks.
I seriously love this craft! I like the back to school ones. I have all of these things on hand and don’t have to go to the store! We are almost done with it! I even have my 6 year old sister making one, it is super simple. (I just have to help her with a couple of parts) Please do some more back to school crafts. Like maybe a notebook, composition notebook, or crayons or markers would be fun!
You should make zipper binders so nothing falls out! Also make textbooks for their classes.
Now all we need is a backpack to put it all in!
These are so cute! The other day I got mini doll seize design binders at Staples for all my dolls but I am still still totally making this!
They need a backpack for all of their school supplies!
Oh, wow! These are SO CUTE!!!!!
