How to fold an origami cloud

Fold two round puffs, one big and one small, and a long body with soft corners. Glue the puffs behind the body and you have a fluffy cloud with a happy face.

You need: 3 square sheets the same size, light blue on one side, and a glue stick. Medium, 14 steps, about 10 minutes.

Steps

  1. Big puff: corners in. Fold all four corners in so their tips meet in the middle.
  2. Big puff: turn it over. Flip it over so the smooth side faces you.
  3. Big puff: round it. Fold each of the four corners behind, a third of the way to the middle.
  4. Big puff: round it more. Fold just the tips of the four top corners behind. This top half will peek over the cloud, nice and round.
  5. Small puff: new sheet. Set the big puff aside. Take the second square, white side up.
  6. Small puff: corners in. Fold all four corners in so their tips meet in the middle.
  7. Small puff: corners in again. Fold the four new corners in to the middle too. Now it is a small square.
  8. Small puff: turn it over. Flip it over so the smooth side faces you.
  9. Small puff: round it. Fold each of the four corners behind, a third of the way to the middle.
  10. Small puff: round it more. Fold just the tips of the four top corners behind, like you did on the big puff.
  11. Body: new sheet. Set the small puff aside. Take the third square, blue side up.
  12. Body: fold in half. Fold the top half down behind, so the top edge meets the bottom edge at the back.
  13. Body: round the corners. Fold all four corners behind: small ones at the top, bigger ones at the bottom.
  14. Glue on the puffs. Glue the puffs behind the body's top edge so they peek out above it: the big one right of the middle, the small one on the left.

Fluffy!

Draw a happy face on your cloud.
