How to fold an origami unicorn horn

Fold a diamond into a kite and then a slim spike, tuck the white bottom behind, and add two slanted pleats that look like the horn's twist.

You need: 1 square sheet, gold or yellow on one side. Easy, 7 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

  1. Make a kite. Put the square white side up like a diamond. Fold the two upper edges in to meet on the middle line.
  2. Slimmer. Fold the new side edges in to the middle line again, creasing from the top point. Now it is a slim spike.
  3. Bottom up. Fold the white bottom point up on a straight line across, where the spike is widest. It covers the last bit of white.
  4. Twist 1: down. Fold the tip down on a crease that rises to the right, about halfway up the horn.
  5. Twist 1: up. Fold it back up on a parallel crease a few millimetres lower. The slanted ledge looks like a twist in the horn.
  6. Twist 2: down. Fold the tip down again on a slanted crease, halfway between the first twist and the bottom edge.
  7. Twist 2: up. Fold it back up on a parallel crease a few millimetres lower. The slanted ledge looks like a twist in the horn.

Magic!

Glue it to a headband or a party hat and you are a unicorn.
