Origami is a fun way to make cool shapes using just a piece of paper. Today, we’re going to learn how to fold a cute origami fox. It’s easy and perfect for doing with your family or friends!
What You Need
To make your origami fox, you’ll need:
- A square piece of paper (orange is great for a fox, but any color will do)
- A flat surface to fold on
Step 1: Get Your Paper Ready
Start by placing your square paper with the white side facing up. This is where we’ll begin our fox.
Step 2: Make the First Fold
- Take the bottom corner of the paper and fold it up to the top corner.
- Make sure the corners match perfectly.
- Press down the fold in the middle and out to the sides to make a nice, sharp edge.
Step 3: Fold Again
- Open the paper and turn it around.
- Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner again, just like before.
- Press this fold well to keep its shape.
Step 4: Fold the Side Corners
- Take the corners on the sides and fold them up to the top point.
- Start from the bottom and work your way to the sides for easier folding.
Step 5: Flip and Fold
- Flip the paper over.
- Fold the paper in half, bringing the bottom edge up to meet the top edge.
- You should now have a triangle shape with three flaps pointing up.
Step 6: Make the Fox’s Ears
- Take the top corner of the triangle and fold it down towards the bottom point.
- Press this fold well to make the fox’s ears.
Step 7: Shape the Fox’s Face
- Find the second flap under the first one and fold it upwards.
- Use your finger to help shape the face.
- Adjust the nose to line up with the edge and press the top.
Step 8: Add the Tail
- Take the bottom corner of the triangle and fold it inwards, lining it up with the bottom edge.
- Press this fold to finish the fox’s tail.
Step 9: Final Touches
Your origami fox is almost done! To make it special, you can draw a face on your fox. Add eyes and a nose to make it come alive. You can also color the ears and tail if you want.
