How to fold an origami peachy peach

Pleat a peach-coloured square behind so a folded edge runs down the middle as the cleft, round all the corners, then add a slim folded leaf on top.

You need: 1 peach or orange square (15 cm), 1 green square (6 cm) and glue. Medium, 9 steps, about 8 minutes.

Steps

  1. Cleft: fold behind. Peach side up. Fold the right part behind on an up-and-down line just right of the middle.
  2. Cleft: fold back out. Behind, fold it back out on a line 1 cm further left. A folded edge now runs down the front: the cleft.
  3. Round it. Fold all four corners behind on big slants.
  4. Round it more. Fold each of the eight new corners behind a little, so the peach is nice and round.
  5. Leaf: new sheet. Set the peach aside. Take the small green square, green side up, turned like a diamond.
  6. Leaf: vein. Fold it in half from left to right and open it again, for a vein down the middle.
  7. Leaf: make it slim. Fold the left and right corners behind, about 3 cm each, so the leaf is long and pointed.
  8. Leaf: tilt it. Turn the leaf so it leans to the right.
  9. Add the leaf. Glue the leaf onto the top of the peach, just right of the cleft.

Juicy!

Draw a soft curve beside the cleft so the peach looks plump.
