(h p://wendysorigami.les.wordpress.com/2012/06/nished.jpg)Last September for my nieces wedding, I made


her 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 didnt measure things as I went along. I just eyeballed everything.
Heres what youll 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.les.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0707.jpg)First I started by covering the styrofoam ball with


white organza. I couldnt nd any cheap white panty hose (I wasnt 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. (the
clothespin is upside down in the base) I wanted a thin neck, so I didnt 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 of
the hair. I also added a li le bone/bow looking thing at the top of her head.
* Sorry, my photos are reversed. Youll have to look at them from right to left.

Then I took some cardboard and rolled it up. I wrapped it
tightly around the clothespin base and squished it at at
the top to form shoulders. Next, I cut out a piece at the
neckline 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 will
form 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 in
the second photo is going to get a ached to the doll. I made 2 of these arms.

(h p://wendysorigami.les.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0715.jpg)I a ached the arms to the doll on the back,


under the hair.

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

(h p://wendysorigami.les.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0719.jpg)
I glued the skirt to the bo om part of the cardboard body. You can still see a white area in the middle that isnt
covered yet. Thats where the obi goes.

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

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

(h p://wendysorigami.les.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0727.jpg)
I a ached the bouquet to her hand with some wire.

I didnt 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 to
the 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. :D Then I went through the same process to make
the 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!
