(h�p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/finished.jpg)Last September for my niece’s wedding, I madeher a washi ningyo doll cake topper. I took a bunch of photos as I made the dolls, so I decided to put them here as

a simple tutorial. I didn’t measure things as I went along. I just eyeballed everything.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Japanese washi paper• Black crepe craft paper (for hair)

• plain colored origami paper• cardboard

• wooden clothespin doll and stand• small styrofoam ball

• wood skewer• white paint or white panty hose

• wire• scissors

• glue

(h�p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0707.jpg)First I started by covering the styrofoam ball withwhite organza. I couldn’t find any cheap white panty hose (I wasn’t going to pay $5.99 so I could cut up a new

pair). then I put the wood skewer through the bo�om of the ball, and stuck it into the clothespin base. (theclothespin is upside down in the base) I wanted a thin neck, so I didn’t use the clothespin bead head. Then I cut

out some black crepe paper into two pieces. One piece was for the bangs, and the longer piece was for the back ofthe hair. I also added a li�le bone/bow looking thing at the top of her head.

* Sorry, my photos are reversed. You’ll have to look at them from right to left.

Then I took some cardboard and rolled it up. I wrapped ittightly around the clothespin base and squished it flat at

the top to form shoulders. Next, I cut out a piece at theneckline so that I could put a collar on.


I cut a long strip of washi paper and added a strip of light pink and a strip of darker pink at the edges. This willform the collar.

I a�ached the collar around the skewer, slipping it inside the notches I cut out of the cardboard.

Next, I cut out a rectangle of washi paper. I folded it in half vertically, and rounded the inside lower corner. I cut a

notch out of the open end. I added some light pink accents at the ends and at the bo�om. The upper left area inthe second photo is going to get a�ached to the doll. I made 2 of these arms.

Next, I cut another piece of washi paper for the skirt. I glued a solid pink paper to the corner to show the inside ofthe kimono.


I glued the skirt to the bo�om part of the cardboard body. You can still see a white area in the middle that isn’tcovered yet. That’s where the obi goes.


I cut a strip of a different washi paper and folded the top and bo�om edges in.

Then I glued the obi on. Voila! The doll is just about finished.

I made a tiny bouquet of lilies out of 1/2″ origami paper. I put a wire through the center ofeach flower, then I wrapped the wires together with a white ribbon.


I a�ached the bouquet to her “hand” with some wire.

I didn’t like the purple obi that I originally put on her, so I swapped it out for a dark pink obi. I think this one

compliments her dress be�er. I cut another piece of the pink paper out, and made a round loop and a�ached it tothe back of the obi. I also changed out the blue “ribbon” I originally had in her hair. I was going to put her in the

blue but I decided that I liked the boy doll in the blue be�er. Then I went through the same process to makethe boy doll.

Lastly, I used foam double sided tape on the bo�om of the wooden stands and a�ached it to a glass coaster. Done!


P.S. The groom is holding a HUGE diamond ring.

:D
