How to fold an origami car wheel

Fold the corners of a black square to the middle, fold their tips back out to open a white hub, then fold the four points behind so the wheel turns round.

You need: 1 square sheet (15 cm), black on one side, and a black pen. Easy, 3 steps, about 3 minutes.

Steps

  1. Corners to the middle. Lay the square white side up. Fold all four corners in so their points meet in the middle.
  2. Open the hub. Fold each point back out, about 1.5 cm from the middle. A white square shows in the centre: the hub.
  3. Round it off. Fold the four outer points behind, about 2 cm each, so the wheel turns round.

Ready to roll!

Draw a dot in the middle of the hub and four little bolts around it. Make four and stick them on a cardboard-box car.
