Follow along and learn how to fold an origami samurai helmet.
Materials:
+ Large sheet of paper (try newspaper or wrapping paper)
Instructions:
Preparing the Paper
1. Tear a large piece of paper into a square.
2. Lay paper flat, folding one corner up against the opposite edge to form a double-layered triangle and a remaining rectangle.
3. Fold the remaining rectangle over the triangle.
4. Repeat this fold over the triangle a few times to create a crease.
5. Lay paper flat and tear along the crease to remove the remaining rectangle.
6. Open the triangle to a square with equal sides about 20 inches (50.8 cm) long.
Origami Folding Technique
1. Rotate the paper so you're working with a diamond shape.
2. Fold the diamond in half, top to bottom, into a triangle.
3. Then fold the triangle in half to create a crease.
4. Re-open the triangle and notice the crease in the center.
5. Fold the outer corners down to meet the center crease.
6. Now fold the top layer corners upwards in half.
7. Fold flaps outwards.
8. Now fold the top layer below upwards into a small triangle covering the bottom of the horns.
9. Then fold the triangle again to make the bottom band of the helmet.
10. Fold the remaining single-layered triangle below up to the top to create a crease, and then open.
11. Tuck that triangle inside the helmet.
12. Try it on!
