How to fold an origami little barn

Fold the sides of a diamond behind for the walls, then fold the tip behind on two gentle slants so the roof bends like a real barn roof.

You need: 1 square sheet, red on one side. Easy, 4 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

  1. Sides behind. Put the square coloured side up like a diamond. Fold the left and right corners behind along straight up-and-down lines.
  2. Bend the roof. Fold the top tip behind on a gently slanted line, so the right side of the roof bends flatter near the top.
  3. Other side. Do the same on the left, so the roof bends on both sides like a real barn roof.
  4. Flat bottom. Fold the bottom corner behind along a straight line across.

Moo!

Draw a white door with a cross on it and a hayloft window under the roof. Park your paper tractor out front.
