How to fold an origami shorts
A white strip makes the waistband and the hem folds behind. Folded in half, one small snip at the fold opens the gap between two short legs.
You need: 1 square sheet, any size, and scissors. Medium, 5 steps, about 5 minutes.
Steps
- Fold the waistband. Start coloured side up. Fold a thin strip at the top down to show a white waistband.
- Fold the hem behind. Fold the bottom quarter behind, so the shorts are wider than they are tall.
- Fold in half. Fold the paper in half from left to right.
- Snip the legs apart. Cut a small slanted triangle off the bottom corner at the folded edge. Trim a thin sliver off the open side at the top to slim the waist.
- Open it out. Unfold the paper. The snip has become the gap between the two legs.
