How to fold an origami gorilla face

Three corners fold into the middle so only a pale diamond of face shows, then the top tucks under for a big flat brow and the head is rounded.

You need: 1 square sheet, 15 × 15 cm, black or dark grey on one side. Easy, 4 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Sides to the middle. White side up. Fold the left and right corners in to meet at the centre.
  2. Top down. Fold the top corner down so its tip points a little past the centre, like a frowning brow.
  3. Round the head. Fold the two top corners behind on a slant, so the head is a dome.
  4. Square the chin. Fold the bottom tip behind, so the jaw is wide and flat.

A gorilla!

Draw two eyes just under the brow, two big nostrils and a wide mouth.
