How to fold an origami high-top sneaker
Fold a green square's bottom up for a white sole, then crease, snip and fold the front down so the ankle stands tall at the back. Slants shape the toe.
You need: 1 green square (15 cm), scissors and a black and a white pen. Medium, 8 steps, about 10 minutes.
Steps
- White sole. Green side up, fold the bottom edge up about 2 cm so a white band shows: the sole.
- Top behind. Fold the top edge behind about 4 cm.
- Crease the front. Fold the right side over to the left on a line about 6 cm from the left edge...
- Open it again. ...and fold it back out flat, leaving a crease.
- Snip the crease. Snip along the crease from the top edge down to a little below the middle.
- Lower the front. Fold the top of the right part behind, level with the end of the snip. The ankle stays tall at the back.
- Slope the toe. Fold the top right corner behind on a slant, so the front slopes down to the toe.
- Round heel and toe. Fold the back corners of the ankle, the heel and the toe behind, a little each.
