How to fold an origami vest
The sides fold to the middle as two front panels. The hem folds behind, two corners fold out as white lapels, and the shoulders slope away for the armholes.
You need: 1 square sheet, any size. Easy, 4 steps, about 4 minutes.
Steps
- Sides to the middle. Start white side up. Fold the left and right edges in to meet in the middle. These are the two front panels.
- Fold the hem behind. Fold the bottom part behind, a little less than a third of the way up.
- Fold the lapels. Fold the top inner corner of each panel out on a slant, from a little way along the top down to the middle. White lapels and a V neck appear.
- Make the armholes. Fold the two top outer corners behind on a slant, from the shoulder down the side. Now there are no sleeves.
Smart!
Draw buttons down the middle and two little pocket lines. Fold it in brown, grey or check paper for a dapper look.
