How to fold an origami sloth face

A brown square with its corners folded behind makes the furry head, and a pale piece glued on top makes the face. Draw the dark stripes and a sleepy smile.

You need: 1 brown square, 15 × 15 cm, 1 cream square, 11 × 11 cm, glue and a black marker. Medium, 5 steps, about 6 minutes.

Steps

  1. Round the head. Brown side up, fold all four corners behind, about 5 cm in along each edge, so the head is round.
  2. Face: new sheet. Set the head aside. Take the cream square, cream side up.
  3. Make it wide. Fold the top and bottom edges behind, about 1.5 cm each, so the piece is wider than it is tall.
  4. Round the face. Fold the four corners behind, about 2 cm in along each edge.
  5. Glue the face on. Glue the pale face onto the middle of the brown head, a little below the centre.

Slooow down, sloth!

Draw a dark stripe slanting down from each eye, little eyes inside, a round nose and a big sleepy smile.
