Wendy's Origami Adventures in Crafting

Washi ningyo doll 22 JUN 2012 8 Comments by wendysorigami in Tutorial Tags: doll, ningyo, origami, paper, washi

(h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/finished.jpg)Last September for my niece’s 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 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 with white 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. (the clothespin 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 of the 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. (h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0709.jpg) (h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06 /dsc_0710.jpg) Then I took some cardboard and rolled it up. I wrapped it tightly around the clothespin base and squished it flat at the top to form shoulders. Next, I cut out a piece at the neckline so that I could put a collar on.

(h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06 /dsc_0711.jpg) 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.

(h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0712.jpg) I a ached the collar around the skewer, slipping it inside the notches I cut out of the cardboard. (h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0713.jpg)

(h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com /2012/06/dsc_0714.jpg) 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.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0715.jpg)I a ached the arms to the doll on the back, under the hair.

(h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0718.jpg) 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.files.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 isn’t covered yet. That’s where the obi goes.

(h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0720.jpg) I cut a strip of a different washi paper and folded the top and bo om edges in.

(h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0721.jpg) Then I glued the obi on. Voila! The doll is just about finished. (h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0722.jpg)

(h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0723.jpg) (h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0724.jpg) I made a tiny bouquet of lilies out of 1/2″ origami paper. I put a wire through the center of each flower, then I wrapped the wires together with a white ribbon.

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

(h p://wendysorigami.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/dsc_0730.jpg) 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 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!
