Miss Cat wrote a great book called Hoodoo Dolls and Effigies, she also taught a class on the subject which can be purchased and viewed. Rv. John Sain Germain also has a video on making dolls that can be purchased.
Dolls do not need to be human-looking, though many do because it helps with connecting to the work (sympathetic magic) and if targeting a certain part such as a head it helps to have one on the doll. Dolls have been made of sticks, cloth, plastic, clay, wax, etc. The mode you use has a pro and con, for example, if you are making a doll-baby to cleanse a person, you would not want a cloth one as it will get soaked, but a stick, clay, or wax would be sufficient. Alternative if you want a doll to work, such as a love doll where you kiss it, hug it, sleep with it, it may be best to go with a cloth doll over a clay or wax due to them easily breaking.
Sticking the paper is actually sticking it into the doll, depending on the doll type. It is not as easy to stick paper into clay or wax (though not impossible) as it is to stick it into a stick doll, plastic doll, or even a fabric doll. In those cases you may carve the petition on the doll, and load the bottom of the doll with a personal concern. For example, a wax doll I can carve a hole in the bottom and add a piece of the persons hair into the doll.
