How to fold an origami ghost

A kite turned over so only the white side shows. Round off the head, curl the tail to one side, and draw a surprised face. Boo!

You need: 1 square sheet, any colour (the white side makes the ghost). Easy, 6 steps, about 3 minutes.

Steps

  1. Crease the diagonal. Fold the left corner to the right corner, crease, and unfold.
  2. Make a kite. Fold the two lower edges in to lie along the centre crease.
  3. Turn it over. Flip the kite over so it is all white.
  4. Flatten the top. Fold the very tip of the top point behind.
  5. Round the head. Fold the corners beside the top, and the two side corners, behind.
  6. Curl the tail. Fold the bottom of the tail behind, so it swings out to the right.

Boo!

Draw two big eyes and a round mouth.
