How to fold an origami beach ball

Fold two corners of a square to the middle in front and two behind, so white and coloured wedges take turns around the centre, then round it into a ball.

You need: 1 square sheet, red on one side. Easy, 3 steps, about 3 minutes.

Steps

  1. Two corners in. Put the square red side up. Fold the top left and bottom right corners to the centre. Two white wedges!
  2. Two corners behind. Fold the other two corners behind to the centre too. Now red and white wedges take turns around the middle.
  3. Round it. Fold the four points of the diamond a little way behind, so it turns into a round ball.

Catch!

Draw a little cap in the middle where the wedges meet. Fold a few in different colours for a day at the beach.
