- Step 1: Prepare your paper. Use a square sheet of origami paper. Choose a pattern or color that suits your doll. Place the colored side facing up before you begin.
- Step 2: Create base creases. Start by folding the paper in half diagonally or horizontally (depending on the diagram) to create a center crease, then unfold. Press firmly with your fingers to ensure sharp, crisp lines.
- Step 3: Follow the diagram. Following the dashed lines in the diagram (valley folds and mountain folds), fold the corners and edges inward or backward. Take care to align the edges precisely.
- Step 4: Shape and finish. Adjust the final edges, gently pulling out hidden folds to add volume or shape to your doll. Press down on all folds one last time to set the final form.
