How to fold an origami soccer ball

Fold the corners of a pale grey square behind, twice, for a round ball. Then draw the black patches and the seams between them.

You need: 1 square sheet, pale grey or white on one side, and a black pen. Easy, 2 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

  1. Ball: corners behind. Start grey side up. Fold all four corners behind, so the eight edges left are all the same length.
  2. Ball: round it. Fold the eight new corners behind a little bit. Now it's nice and round.

Goal!

Draw a black patch in the middle and five round the edge, then join them with seam lines.
