Grab a square of paper and try your hand at folding this simple origami fox! Following along with the pictures and accompanying step-by-step instructions for this easy origami make.
- If using two-sided paper, start with the plain side facing you.
- Fold in half diagonally (bottom right to top left corner).
- Crease and unfold.
- Fold in half diagonally the other way (bottom left to top right).
- Take the point of the triangle nearest you and fold up to meet the top right corner.
- Take the top left point and fold it to meet the other point at the right-hand corner, making a square.
- Flip the square over, front to back.
- Fold in half diagonally, top left to bottom right corner.
- You should end up with a triangle with layers, short flat edge at the bottom, longest sloping edge to the left.
- Fold over the straight right-hand edge (including all the layers) by about a third, creasing firmly.
- Taking this folded section, open up just the top layer…
- …this should create the two ears, and the fox face should fold down as you open up the layers.
- Fold a small bit of the left-hand point over to create the tail.
- Let’s work on those legs! You’ll need to fold the front layers (below the face) behind a little, one side at a time; The left one tucks in between the body.
- The right side folds back and tucks behind the model.
- Crease bother fold firmly, and you’re done!
- You can leave you fox laying down to decorate a card or journal page, or stand them up.
