How to fold an origami little balalaika

Fold a sheet in thirds into a long neck, then swing each flap's bottom corner out to make the balalaika's triangle body.

You need: 1 rectangle of paper (about 10 x 22 cm), red or brown on one side. Easy, 7 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

Left third. Start white side up, the paper standing tall. Fold the left side over so its edge lies a third of the way from the right.
Left wing. Fold the bottom of the flap back out on a steep slant from its bottom left corner, so a point sticks out to the left.
Right third. Fold the right side over on top, along the edge of the first flap.
Right wing. Fold the bottom of this flap back out the same way, so a point sticks out to the right.
Turn over. Turn the balalaika over, so it is all one colour.
Head. Fold the top corners of the neck behind on small slants to shape the head.
Flat bottom. Fold the bottom behind along a straight line across, level with the two points, so the body has a flat bottom.

Draw a round sound hole, lines across the neck for frets and three strings. Strum it fast!
