How to fold an origami owl

Fold the corners of a triangle down into a square, swing the flaps up into tall ear tufts, and fold the top point down for the beak.

You need: 1 square sheet, brown on one side. Easy, 5 steps, about 3 minutes.

Steps

  1. Make a triangle. Fold the top corner down to meet the bottom corner.
  2. Corners down. Fold the left and right corners down to meet the bottom point.
  3. Raise the ear tufts. Fold each flap up from its outer corner so the point stands straight up.
  4. Fold the beak. Fold the top point of the square down, with the tuft corners lying on it, so its tip meets the point where the tufts cross.
  5. Round the body. Fold the bottom point up behind.

Hoo-hoo!

Draw two big round eyes on either side of the beak.
