How to fold an origami microphone

Round off a small grey square for the head, fold a black square into a slim cone for the handle, glue them together and draw the mesh.

You need: A 7.5 cm grey square, a 12 cm black square and a glue stick. Easy, 6 steps, about 6 minutes.

Steps

  1. Head: round it. Start with the head, grey side up. Fold all four corners behind to make it round.
  2. Handle: new sheet. Set the head aside. Take the black square, black side up, like a diamond.
  3. Handle: a cone. Fold the two lower edges behind so they meet along the middle: a long point at the bottom.
  4. Handle: slimmer. Fold the long edges behind again so they meet along the middle. The handle gets slim.
  5. Handle: blunt end. Fold the sharp tip at the bottom behind, so the handle ends flat.
  6. Glue on the head. Glue the round head over the wide top of the handle.

Testing, one, two!

Draw criss-cross lines on the head for the mesh. Hold it up and sing your favourite song.
