How to fold an origami badger face

A kite fold that stops short of the centre leaves a white stripe between two dark flaps. Fold the top behind and the nose up, and the badger is done.

You need: 1 square sheet, 15 × 15 cm, dark grey on one side. Easy, 3 steps, about 3 minutes.

Steps

  1. Fold the sides in, leaving a gap. White side up. Fold the lower left and right edges in towards the middle, but stop 1 cm short so a white stripe shows between them.
  2. Top behind. Fold the white top corner behind, level with the tops of the flaps, so the head is flat on top.
  3. Fold up the nose. Fold the bottom tip up about 2 cm. It turns dark and makes the badger's nose at the end of the stripe.

A badger!

Draw two small eyes on the dark flaps, one each side of the stripe.
