How to fold an origami toaster

Fold the bottom of a red square up, leaving a white band above for the toast. Snip and fold the band's ends behind into a slice, then fold the sides behind into a chunky body.

You need: 1 square sheet, 15 x 15 cm, red on one side, scissors and a black pen. Medium, 7 steps, about 8 minutes.

Steps

  1. Fold up the body. White side up, fold the bottom edge up, stopping 3 cm below the top edge. The white band above will be the toast.
  2. Crease the toast. Fold the white band down over the red, along the red edge.
  3. Open it again. Fold the band back up, leaving a sharp crease.
  4. Two snips. Snip along the crease from each side, about 4 cm in, leaving the middle of the band joined.
  5. Slice of toast. Fold the two snipped ends of the band behind, so a square slice of toast stands up in the middle.
  6. Sides behind. Fold the left and right edges of the red body behind about 2 cm, so it is wider than the toast.
  7. Round the corners. Fold the toast's top corners and the body's bottom corners behind a little.

Pop!

Draw the toaster's slot, a lever on the side and a dial. Breakfast is ready!
