How To Do Everything

Making your own origami creations can be a relaxing past time or a great activity to do with your family.  Follow the instruction below to create your very own origami reindeer.

1. You will need a square piece of paper

2. Fold completely across diagonally

3. Unfold it

4. Fold one side of the square to meet the line made by the diagonal fold and then repeat on the other side of the square.

5. Next fold the exposed sides in the same way you did the previous ones.

6. Now you should have a diamond-like shape.  Fold it from point to point in half and then unfold it.

7. Place your finger into one of the flaps and unfold it following the crease marks you just made.  Pull out the point and press it down. Repeat on the other side.

8.  Fold it in half lenthwise.

9. Next, locate the point that the flaps point towards.  Pull it back into the middle in a reverse fold.  Then flatten the piece down to make the neck.

10. Fold the 2 flaps that point in the opposite direction of the neck downwards to make the legs.

11. Make the head by performing a reverse fold at the top of the neck, unfold the head to flatten it out.  Then fold the point on the head under to make it a bit flatter on the nose. Then fold the top of the head in half over the neck on the opposite side.

12. On the end that points out, fold the end in reverse to begin the hind legs.  Make another reverse fold half way down the legs to create finished legs.

13. Next you will need a pair of scissors.  Cut along the back of the neck but do not cut the head.  If you cut up the middle correctly you will achieve 4 prongs.  Fold the prongs to create antlers.

Now you are done creating your origami reindeer.
