How to fold an origami duck face

An orange square, white side up. One fold makes a wide orange bill, then the head's sides and corners fold behind so it turns round above the bill.

You need: 1 square sheet, 15 × 15 cm, orange on one side, and a black marker. Easy, 4 steps, about 3 minutes.

Steps

  1. Fold up the bill. Start white side up. Fold the bottom edge up, about a quarter of the way, so a wide orange band shows. That's the bill.
  2. Slim the head. Fold the sides of the white head behind on slants, from 3 cm in at the top down to the bill's top corners.
  3. Round the top. Fold the two top corners of the head behind, about 3 cm along each edge, so the head is round.
  4. Round the bill. Fold the bottom corners of the bill behind, about 1.5 cm along each edge.

Quack!

Draw two big eyes on the white head, two nostrils on the bill and a smile along it.
