How to fold an origami chocolate ice cream

A kite with its long point down makes the cone. Round the top into a scoop, then pleat the cone so it tucks up under the scoop and the scoop's rim sticks out.

You need: 1 square sheet, brown on one side and white on the other, and a white pen. Easy, 7 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

  1. Crease the middle. Put the square white side up like a diamond. Fold the left corner to the right corner, crease well, and unfold.
  2. Make a kite. Fold the two lower edges in so they lie along the centre crease.
  3. Turn it over. Flip the kite over from side to side. The long point stays at the bottom.
  4. Flatten the top. Fold the short top point behind, about a quarter of the way down to the side corners.
  5. Round the scoop. Fold the two side corners behind a little, and the scoop gets round.
  6. Cone up. Fold the long bottom point up behind, making the fold just under the scoop's round sides. The point sticks up past the top.
  7. Cone back down. At the back, fold the point down again a little higher up. The cone now tucks up behind the scoop, and the scoop's rim sticks out.

Yum!

Draw white sprinkles on the scoop. Make a row of flavours in different colours for an ice cream shop.
