How to fold an origami polar bear face

Fold a white triangle, bring its point down below the bottom edge as a long snout and swing the corners up as little round ears. A big black nose makes it a polar bear.

You need: 1 square sheet, white (or white on one side), and a black pen. Easy, 6 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Make a triangle. Fold the bottom corner up to meet the top corner.
  2. Snout down. Fold the top point down so it hangs about 4 cm below the bottom edge. That is the long snout.
  3. Ears up. Fold both bottom corners up, on a line running on from the snout's edge up to the top corner, so their tips stand up above the top edge.
  4. Round the ears. Fold the tip of each ear down a little on a slant, so the ears turn small and round.
  5. Turn it over. Flip the bear so the smooth side faces you.
  6. Blunt the snout. Fold the tip of the snout behind, about 1 cm, so it ends flat.

Brrr, hello!

Draw a big black nose at the end of the snout, two little eyes on the face, and a small smile under the nose.
