How to fold an origami little oven mitt
Fold the corners of a diamond behind for a tall mitt with a round top. One side corner swings back out and up as the thumb.
You need: 1 square sheet, red on one side. Easy, 7 steps, about 5 minutes.
Steps
- Right corner behind. Put the square coloured side up like a diamond. Fold the right corner a little way behind, along a straight up-and-down line.
- Thumb up. Behind, swing that corner back out on a slanted line from the bottom of its fold, so it sticks up and out. That's the thumb.
- Left side behind. Fold the left corner far behind, along a straight up-and-down line.
- Top behind. Fold the top corner behind, along a straight line across.
- Round the corner. Fold the square corner at the top left behind, so the top of the mitt is round.
- Cuff. Fold the bottom corner behind, so the mitt ends in a straight cuff.
- Tilt it. Turn the mitt a little so the thumb points up.
Careful, it's hot!
Draw a line above the cuff. Make a pair and hang them by your paper kitchen.
