How to fold an origami megaphone
Fold a white rim at the mouth, slant the top and bottom behind into a cone and pleat the mouthpiece. Then part of the flap behind swings back down as the grip.
You need: 1 orange rectangle, 15 x 12 cm. Easy, 6 steps, about 10 minutes.
Steps
- White rim. Orange side up, fold the right edge over about 1 cm so a white band shows: the rim of the mouth.
- Mouthpiece: fold over. Fold the left edge over to the right, about 2 cm.
- Mouthpiece: fold back. Fold the flap back to the left on a line just inside its edge, leaving a step: the mouthpiece.
- Cone: top. Fold the top behind on a slant from the top corner at the rim to a point 2 cm above the middle of the left end.
- Cone: bottom. Fold the bottom behind the same way, from the bottom corner at the rim to 2 cm below the middle.
- Swing down the grip. Behind, swing the left part of the bottom flap back down past the cone on a fold from the left end of its crease. That's the grip.
