How to fold an origami squirrel face
Fold the corners of a triangle down and swing them back up as tall ears, turn it over, then fold the bottom point up into a white muzzle with a little brown nose. Dark ear tips make the tufts.
You need: 1 square sheet, red-brown on one side. Easy, 8 steps, about 5 minutes.
Steps
- Make a triangle. Fold the top corner down to meet the bottom corner.
- Corners down. Fold the left and right corners down to meet the bottom point.
- Ears up. Fold each flap back up on a line from its side corner to the centre crease, halfway between the middle and the top point, so its point stands up tall.
- Flat top. Fold the top point of the head behind, just below where the ears cross its edges.
- Turn it over. Flip the squirrel over so the smooth side faces you.
- Muzzle up. Fold just the front layer's bottom point up, so a white muzzle shows.
- Nose down. Fold the white tip back down a little, so a small brown nose sits on top of the muzzle.
- Flat chin. Fold the bottom point behind.
Hello, squirrel!
Colour the ear tips dark for tufts and the nose too, then draw two big eyes and a mouth with two buck teeth.
