How to fold an origami little dreidel
Fold a diamond's sides behind for the square body and keep the bottom point for spinning. A pleat at the top pokes the tip up as the handle.
You need: 1 square sheet, blue on one side. Easy, 4 steps, about 4 minutes.
Steps
- Sides behind. Put the square coloured side up like a diamond. Fold the left and right corners behind along straight up-and-down lines.
- Top behind. Fold the top corner behind along a straight line across, a little above the middle.
- And back up. Behind, fold it back up a little lower, so a small point sticks up over the top. That's the handle.
- Flat handle. Fold the tip of the handle behind, so it is flat on top. Leave the bottom point sharp: the dreidel spins on it.
Spin it!
Draw a white letter on the front, like the letters on a real dreidel. Make four and give each one a different letter.
