November 11th is World Origami Day!
Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into various creative things, such as animals and flowers.
Here’s a Quick Origami Fact – Did you know that in Japan a Paper Crane is Considered a Symbol of Peace!
To celebrate this wonderful day I have created an easy origami fox tutorial, so you too can get involved:
What you will need:
-
Square origami paper
-
Pen
1. Fold the square origami paper in half to form a triangle:
2. Fold this triangle in half again:
3. For the final time fold the paper in half to form yet another triangle:
4. Now fold another smaller triangle, as shown:
5. Then turn the paper over and fold another triangle, to create a much smaller triangle:
6. Your origami fox should now look like this:
7. Next, create the fox’s tail by folding the end of the triangle (see image):
8. To create the fox’s body create a crease on the left side of the paper, as shown:
9. Open up the crease and fold the middle section forward to create the fox’s face, as shown in the image:
10. Finally, add the small details on the fox’s face with a pen and your origami fox is done!
