How to fold an origami apron

Two little corners fold out, and folding the bottom up flips them to the waist as hanging ties. The layers behind fold in on a slant to make a narrow bib.

You need: 1 square sheet, any size. Easy, 4 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

  1. Sides to the middle. Start white side up. Fold the left and right edges in to meet in the middle.
  2. Fold out the ties. At the bottom, fold each flap's inner corner out, creasing from the bottom outer corner up to the middle. The tips will be the ties.
  3. Bottom up. Fold the bottom up, a quarter of the way below the middle. The ties flip up to the waist and hang down, and the front turns coloured.
  4. Shape the bib. Keep the front skirt flat and fold the layers behind it on a long slant, from a quarter in along the top to the bottom corner. The bib is narrow.

Let's bake!

Draw a waistband between the ties, a big pocket on the front and a little heart on the bib.
