How to make simple Japanese paper dolls

[wiseheart]

Since spikesgirl58 and mirasaui asked for it, I tried to draw a very simple "How to..." to my Japanese paper dolls. I'm horrible at this thing, so ladies, if it isn't clear (or you can't read my handwriting) just yell and I'll try to explain what I meant.






I draw it free hand and then scanned in, I hope it will work for you nonetheless. Click on the picture to enlarge. If it doesn't work, here's the link to a much more professional tutorial, although these dolls might be a bit more complex than mine:

I'm working on the next batch right now, using Japanese-style patterned origami paper - I hope they'll turn out okay.

I'm not that good! Every single piece of mine ends up lopsided or otherwise faulty. But I enjoy making them and enjoy the results anyway.
