How to fold an origami raccoon face

A grey triangle with its side corners folded behind into perky ears and the front point folded up into a white diamond snout. Draw the black bandit mask.

You need: 1 square sheet, 15 × 15 cm, grey on one side, and a black marker. Easy, 4 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Make a triangle. Fold the top corner down to meet the bottom corner.
  2. Ears behind. Fold the left and right corners behind, on steep lines 3 cm in from each end, so the tips poke up above the top edge.
  3. Round the ears. Fold the very tip of each ear behind, straight across, so the ears are blunt.
  4. White snout. Fold only the front layer's bottom point up, about 3 cm above the bottom. The white point below and the white flap make a diamond snout.

Caught you, raccoon!

Colour a wide black mask over the eyes, leaving white spots for the eyes and above them. Draw a black nose at the tip.
