How to fold an origami stop sign

Fold the four corners of a square behind on equal slants and it turns into a perfect eight-sided stop sign.

You need: 1 square sheet, red on one side. Easy, 2 steps, about 3 minutes.

Steps

  1. Top corners behind. Put the square coloured side up. Fold the two top corners behind on slanted lines, a bit less than a third of the way along each edge.
  2. Bottom corners behind. Fold the two bottom corners behind the same way, so all eight sides of the sign are the same length.

Everybody stop!

Draw a thin white border and big white STOP letters. Stand it by your toy road so the cars take turns.
