Daruma Dolls
Daruma dolls, or dharma dolls, are meant to help wishes come true! These
roly-poly dolls are usually red and always have a moustache and beard. The eyes
are left white. While you make a wish you colour in the left eye of the doll,
then put it on display in your house until your wish comes true. Then you can do
the same with the other eye!

wishes in the little booklet (instructions for making the
origami booklet).
