How to fold an origami candy cane

Folding the sides in twice makes a long thin strip, red on both faces. Two slanted folds bend the top into a hook, and white stripes finish it.

You need: 1 square sheet, red on one side, and a white pen or white paper strips for the stripes. Easy, 5 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

Sides to the middle. Start white side up. Fold the left and right edges in to meet in the middle.
And again. Fold the new left and right edges in to the middle again.
Fold in half. Fold the right half behind the left half, to make a long thin stick.
Bend the top over. Fold the top half of the stick down to the right on a slant, so it sticks out sideways.
Bend it down. Fold the end down on a slant, leaving a small gap from the stick, so it hangs down like a hook.

Draw slanted white stripes all along the cane, or glue on thin white strips. Hang it on the tree by its hook.
