How to fold an origami boiled egg
Yellow side up, tuck the corner tips in, fold the corners in, then the four edges, and trim the outline behind. The white frame is the egg white, the yellow middle the yolk.
You need: 1 rectangle of paper a little taller than wide (20 by 23), yellow on one side and white on the other. Easy, 5 steps, about 5 minutes.
Steps
- Tips in. Yellow side up. Fold each of the four corners in a short way, so four white triangles show.
- Corners in. Fold each corner in again, much further, so its folded edge comes close to the middle.
- Sides in. Fold the left and right edges in, so white strips cover the sides.
- Top and bottom. Fold the top edge down and the bottom edge up. The yellow left in the middle is the yolk.
- Egg shape. Fold the two top corners behind on a slant and the bottom edge behind a tiny bit, so it's a plump egg with the yolk a little low.
Egg-cellent!
Half a boiled egg, sliced down the middle. Make a few and line them up on a paper plate.
