How to fold an origami kimono

The sides fold behind, then each side flap folds back out on its diagonal as a wide hanging sleeve. Draw the crossed white collar and the obi sash around the middle.

You need: 1 square sheet, any size, and a white pen. Easy, 3 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

  1. Sides behind. Start coloured side up. Fold the left and right sides behind, so they meet in the middle at the back.
  2. Fold out the sleeves. Reach behind and fold each side flap back out on a slant, from the top corner to the bottom of the flap's edge. Wide sleeves hang down.
  3. Square the sleeves. Fold the pointed tip of each sleeve behind, straight up and down, so the sleeve ends are square.

Beautiful!

Draw a white collar crossing left over right, and a wide white obi sash with a cord around the middle.
