How to fold an origami pennant
Fold the left edge over for a white pole band, fold the top and bottom behind, then fold the right end behind twice, like a paper plane nose, into a long point.
You need: 1 square sheet, coloured on one side (your team colour). Easy, 4 steps, about 3 minutes.
Steps
- Pole band. Coloured side up. Fold the left edge over a short way. The white band is where the pole goes.
- Top and bottom behind. Fold the top and the bottom behind, so the pennant is a wide band.
- Corners behind. Fold the two right corners behind, so the top and bottom edges meet the middle line at the back.
- Long point. Fold the new slanted edges behind again to the middle line. The flag now tapers to a long point.
Go team!
Draw a star on the flag and wave it at the next school game.
