Japanese Paper Doll Tutorial
I have been in love with Kimono wearing Japanese Paper Dolls ever since I started doing Origami. They look absolutely adorable and can be used as a bookmark, a gift tag or decorate wall frames.
After scrolling through scores of pictures on Pinterest, I was super inspired to make one for myself this weekend. I bought lots of colorful paper from Daiso, a store in Sydney that sells all the items of Japan. I buy a lot of my art and craft materials from there, including paints and drawing pens.

| Choosing the pattern of the Kimono is probably the toughest part. I just can’t decide on one. |
Here’s a tutorial I made, documenting the steps to make the paper doll. It’s very simple and within no time, you a doll would be ready.
Pretty Easy, isn’t it?

Wow this is soooper easy… must try for my eight year old. She is going to love this.
This is beautiful and really simple.. thanks for the DIY tutorial.. will surely try this.. i do have a knack for creating my own bookmark, this one's perfect.. But, where do I buy these decorative papers?
Wow! That's pretty creative, Raj! Loved the paper quilling in last picture) 🙂

This is so beautiful, Raj! What a talented girl you are…so much to learn from you 🙂
you are so crafty Raj. If i had papers that were this cute, I'll cover all notebooks at home! I love these papers!
that is just so cute!! a truly lovely craft work and so neatly done!
Looks great Rajlakshmi. 😀 Those flowers must take quite some time no? Such a cute kimono.
This looks so pretty! Not even going to kid myself into believing I can do this! *hides face*
But I do have some nice wrapping paper that would create a beautiful kimono! Let's see 🙂
Wow – this tutorial rocks. I love the Japanese Kimono dolls too and had seen a wonderful tutorial once online- havent been able to find it again; yeah didnt save it then. This one comes pretty close to it – awesome!
Hey, this is super cute! Would make lovely party invites! Definitely trying this one!
Oh my this is so cute! If you were in India, I would have taken this from you because as you know I'm no good at making one myself! 😀
Oh how cute. Love the doll.
I will definitely try this as I am always fascinated by Kimono. Thanks for sharing- you made it simple.
I am not even going to attempt this – unless I'm looking to make a fool of myself, in which case I totally will.
Is there anything creative that you're not good at, lady? 😛
I can't wait to try making it!
Very pretty doll!
Very pretty 🙂 I've made this one before – but I wish I knew quilling!
Lovely..it looks nice and loved the quilling too 🙂
Handing this tutorial over lock, stock and barrel to Gy so she can do a good job instead of watching me make a fool of myself 😉
Aww, the doll looks so cute! A good idea for another book mark!
Wow! This looks pretty. You picked the most perfect pattern of the lot! I love it!
