How to fold an origami little oak

A kite makes the leafy crown, and its white point flips up and back down as the trunk. Fold the corners behind to round the crown.

You need: 1 square sheet, green on one side and white on the other. Easy, 7 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

  1. Crease the middle. Put the square white side up like a diamond. Fold the left corner onto the right corner, crease well and unfold.
  2. Make a kite. Fold the two upper edges in so they meet along the centre crease.
  3. White point behind. Fold the short white point at the bottom up behind, along the bottom edge of the kite.
  4. Trunk down. Behind, fold its tip back down so it sticks out below. That's the trunk.
  5. Flat foot. Fold the end of the trunk behind so it stands flat.
  6. Blunt the top. Fold the long top point behind, about a third of the way down.
  7. Round the crown. Fold the four corners of the crown behind a little, so it turns round and leafy.

A shady oak!

Draw a few leaf lines and an acorn or two. Make a row of them for a little park.
