How to fold an origami easy stingray
A triangle folded into a kite, then the two flaps swung back out as wide wings. The long bottom point stays behind as the tail. No cuts.
You need: 1 square sheet, 15 × 15 cm, blue-grey on one side, and a white pen. Easy, 3 steps, about 3 minutes.
Steps
- Make a triangle. White side up, like a diamond. Fold the top corner down to the bottom corner.
- Fold a kite. Fold both lower edges in to meet on the middle line, so the bottom point gets long and narrow.
- Spread the wings. Fold each flap back out on a slant, from its top outer corner to a spot on the middle line 5.5 cm above the bottom point. Wide wings!
Glide!
Draw two white eyes near the front edge and dot a few white spots on the wings. Bend the wing tips up a little.
