Traditional Origami Rabbit Instructions
Step 1:
Start with a square sheet of paper. Fold it in half (left to right). Unfold . |
|
Step 2:
Fold the left-edge and right-edge of the paper to the center crease made above. |
|
Step 3:
Fold down the top-edge of the model. Fold it at the quarter mark (bring the top edge to the center of the paper). |
|
Unfold slightly. |
|
Step 4:
Make valley folds as shown so the corners of the paper are pulled outwards. |
|
Step 5:
Fold the top-edge of the paper back down and press the corners flat so the model looks a little like a house. |
|
Turn over. |
|
Step 6:
At the “roof of the house”, fold the sloping edges in half so it is more narrow. These will be the ears of the rabbit. |
|
Step 7
At the bottom of the model, fold in the two corners. This section will be the tail of the bunny. |
|
Step 8
Fold the model in half. |
|
Rotate. |
|
Step 9
Fold up the tail-end of the model. |
|
Unfold. |
|
Step 10
Make an inside reverse fold (fold the tail section so it lies in between the layers of paper). |
|
Optional: if you like, you can fold the head part a little to the side so the model can balance upright. You can also draw in eyes and decorate. Done! |
