How to fold an origami alien face

Fold a green diamond into a head with a wide top and a pointed chin, fold a thin strip into a V for the antennae, and glue them behind the head.

You need: A 15 cm green square, a 1.5 × 12 cm strip of the same green, and a glue stick. Easy, 6 steps, about 6 minutes.

Steps

  1. Head: three corners behind. Green side up, turned like a diamond. Fold the top corner well behind, then the left and right corners a little way behind.
  2. Head: round the top. Fold the two top corners behind to round the top of the head. Leave the bottom point sharp for the chin.
  3. Antennae: new strip. Set the head aside. Take the strip, white side up, leaning a little to the right.
  4. Antennae: fold in half. Fold the strip in half the long way, so it's green on both sides and very thin.
  5. Antennae: fold into a V. Fold the bottom half up across the middle, so the two ends point up in a V.
  6. Glue it together. Glue the head on top of the V, so the point of the V hides behind the top of the head and the antennae poke out.

Greetings, Earthling!

Draw two huge slanted black eyes, a tiny smile and a dot on the end of each antenna.
