How to fold an origami pencil

A strip folded at the top makes the eraser, the sides fold behind twice to slim it, and the bottom corners make the tip.

You need: 1 square sheet, yellow on one side. Easy, 4 steps, about 3 minutes.

Steps

  1. Fold the eraser. Fold a strip at the top edge down so the white side shows.
  2. Sides behind. Fold the left and right edges behind to meet in the middle.
  3. Slim it again. Fold both sides behind once more.
  4. Sharpen the tip. Fold the two bottom corners in so they meet in the middle, making a point.

Sharp!

Colour the very tip dark for the lead.
