How to fold an origami little table

Fold a strip in half twice into a stiff bar, then turn both ends down on slanted folds as the legs.

You need: 1 strip of brown paper, 18 × 4 cm. Easy, 4 steps, about 3 minutes.

Steps

  1. Fold in half. White side up, long side across. Fold the bottom edge up onto the top edge.
  2. In half again. Fold it in half again, top edge down to the bottom: a stiff brown bar, the table top.
  3. Right leg. 4 cm from the right end, fold the end straight down with a slanted fold from the top edge. The first leg.
  4. Left leg. Fold the left end down the same way, so both legs are the same length.

Lunch is served!

Stand it on a shelf for a dolls' house, or set a paper cake on top.
