How to fold an origami easy garden gnome
One kite fold gives a tall red hat over a white beard. Flop the tip and blunt the corners, then add his round nose.
You need: 1 square sheet, red on one side and white on the other. Easy, 4 steps, about 3 minutes.
Steps
- Fold a kite. Put the square white side up like a diamond. Fold the two upper edges in so they meet along the middle.
- Floppy hat. Fold the tip of the hat down to the left on a slant, so it flops over.
- Straight sides. Fold the two side corners behind a little, so the hat has straight sides.
- Long beard. Fold the sides of the white beard behind on slants, so it ends in a long point.
Hello, gnome!
Draw a big round nose just under the hat and a curly moustache. Stand him in a paper garden next to a mushroom.
