How to fold an origami medal

Fold a red and a blue strip for the ribbon and set them in a V. Round a gold square into the medal and draw a star on it.

You need: 1 red and 1 blue square, 1 bigger gold or yellow square, a white pen, a black pen and a glue stick. Medium, 9 steps, about 10 minutes.

Steps

  1. Red ribbon: sides in. Start with the red square, white side up. Fold the left and right edges to the middle.
  2. Red ribbon: in half. Fold the left half behind. Now it's a long red strip.
  3. Blue ribbon: new sheet. Set the red strip aside. Take the blue square, white side up.
  4. Blue ribbon: sides in. Fold the left and right edges to the middle.
  5. Blue ribbon: in half. Fold the left half behind, just like the red one.
  6. Medal: new sheet. Set the blue strip aside. Take the gold square, gold side up.
  7. Medal: corners behind. Fold all four corners behind, so the eight edges left are all the same length.
  8. Medal: round it. Fold the eight new corners behind a little bit. Now it's nice and round.
  9. Put it together. Glue the two strips behind the top of the medal in a V: red leaning left, blue leaning right.

First place!

Draw a ring just inside the edge of the medal and a big white star in the middle.
