How to fold an origami bishop's mitre

Fold a strip up for the band, then fold the sides in, leaving a gap that makes the white stripe. Fold the top corners behind for the point and slim the bottom.

You need: 1 square sheet, red on one side and white on the other, and a black pen. Easy, 5 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Fold up a strip. Start red side up. Fold the bottom edge up about a sixth of the way. This strip becomes the white band.
  2. Turn it over. Flip it over from side to side, so the white side is up and the strip is at the bottom, behind.
  3. Sides in, leave a gap. Fold the left and right edges in towards the middle, but stop a little short, so a white stripe shows between them.
  4. Fold the point. Fold the two top corners behind, from the top of the white stripe down to the side edges, so the top makes a tall point.
  5. Slim the bottom. Fold a thin slice of each lower side behind, so the mitre gets a little narrower down at the band.

Blessings!

Draw a small cross on the white stripe. Tape a paper strip inside as a headband and wear it in the school play.
