How to fold an origami house with chimney

Fold the sides behind, tuck the top corners in for a pointed roof, then free the bottom of one side strip with a short snip and fold it up behind so it peeks over the roof as a chimney.

You need: 1 red square (15 cm), small scissors and a black pen. Medium, 4 steps, about 8 minutes.

Steps

  1. Sides behind. Coloured side up, fold the left and right edges behind, about 2 cm each.
  2. Roof. Fold the two top corners behind on slanted creases that meet at the middle of the top edge, making a pointed roof.
  3. Free the chimney. Snip along the right side fold from the bottom edge up to the middle, so the bottom half of the strip behind comes loose.
  4. Chimney up. Fold the loose strip up behind the house, on a crease across the middle, so its end pokes up above the roof.

Home sweet home!
