1. Origami Paper Bunny
Materials Needed:
- One square copy paper (preferably 15cm x 15cm)
- Coloured markers
- Glue stick
Instructions:
1. Make the Triangle Fold: Start with a square sheet of copy paper. Fold the paper diagonally in half to form a triangle. Unfold and fold diagonally in the opposite direction. Unfold again—you should see an “X” crease.
2. Fold into a Diamond Shape: Fold the paper in half horizontally, then unfold. Bring the left and right corners toward the centre, forming a diamond shape.
3. Shape the Bunny’s Head: Fold the bottom tip of the diamond slightly upward to round off the bunny’s face. Flip the origami over and fold a small tip at the bottom for the bunny’s nose.
4. Form the Bunny’s Ears: Take the top layer of the triangle (on one side) and fold it upward to form an ear. Repeat on the other side for the second ear.
5. Add Details: Draw eyes and a nose with a pen or marker. If you want the bunny to stand, fold the bottom slightly backward for balance.
And there you have it! A cute origami bunny. 🐰✨
