How to fold an origami monkey face

Fold the corners of a triangle in and swing them back out as ears, then fold the bottom point up and back down to open a white face.

You need: 1 square sheet, brown on one side. Easy, 7 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Make a triangle. Fold the top corner down to meet the bottom corner.
  2. Corners in. Fold the left and right corners in so their points meet at the middle of the top edge.
  3. Swing the ears out. Fold each flap back out on a line from the top of its fold, slanting a little inwards, so its point sticks out sideways and a little down as an ear.
  4. Blunt the ears. Fold the tip of each ear in, straight across.
  5. Face up. Fold just the front layer's bottom point up, so the white side shows.
  6. Brow down. Fold the white tip back down so a little brown point sits between the eyes.
  7. Flat chin. Fold the bottom point behind.

Ooh ooh!

Draw two eyes, two nostrils and a big grin.
