How to fold an origami easy teapot

Fold the corners of a diamond behind and swing one back out as a rising spout, pop the other out as a handle, and pleat the top into a lid with a knob.

You need: 1 square sheet, blue or pink on one side. Easy, 6 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

  1. Sides behind. Coloured side up, turned like a diamond. Fold the left and right corners behind on straight up-and-down lines, the left one a bit further in.
  2. Spout. Behind, fold the left flap back out on a slant from the bottom of its fold, so its point rises up and out as the spout.
  3. Handle. Behind, fold the right flap back out along a line a little further in, so its tip pokes out as the handle.
  4. Lid behind. Fold the top corner behind along a level line, so the pot gets a flat top.
  5. Knob up. Behind, fold that corner back up along a line a little lower, so its tip pokes up as the knob on the lid.
  6. Flat base. Fold the bottom corner behind, so the teapot sits on a flat base.

Tea time!

Draw the edge of the lid and a white flower on the side. Pour pretend tea for your teddies.
