How to fold an origami mountain

Fold a grey-blue square into a big peak and fold its tip down so white snow shows at the top. Make a smaller peak the same way and glue it behind.

You need: A 15 cm square and a 9 cm square, grey-blue on one side, and a glue stick. Easy, 6 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

  1. Big peak: fold in half. Start with the big square, white side up, turned like a diamond. Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner.
  2. Big peak: snow cap. Fold just the tip of the front layer down, 2 cm from the top. Now white snow shows on the peak.
  3. Small peak: new sheet. Set the big peak aside. Take the small square, white side up, turned like a diamond.
  4. Small peak: fold in half. Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner.
  5. Small peak: snow cap. Fold the tip of the front layer down, 1.3 cm from the top, for its own snow cap.
  6. Glue them together. Glue the small peak behind the big one, off to the right, with the bottom edges in a line.

Snowy mountains!

Stick it on a card and draw a little path winding up to the snow.
