My Kokeshi Dolls...

I spent most of Saturday figuring out how to make these dolls and they are so easy.

Ingred:
Candle Cups 7/8" with 22.2 mm hole
Doll Head / Knob 1-1/4" (31.8mm)
Screws 8X1.5" (I believe... take the pieces to the hardware store and see what works)

Paint
Varnish

I am so excited about these little dolls, I am hoping to be able to do an Activity Days spent making these dolls and having a little cultural history on the dolls and some Japanese Snacks including Grandma's Japanese Water Punch!
Best Wishes... Tiffany

  3. Sheesh,
    Check out Benjamin Moore paints if you have them in your area. I always think they have the most beautiful clear colors.

    Michelle, you can have one even if it's not your birthday. :)
