If you are looking for something relatively simple yet engaging, I suggest Origami Fox! This will ignite your creativity. In this guide, you’ll learn each fold step by step; let’s turn a simple square of paper into a cute origami fox.
So, grab a piece of paper, and let’s start.
Materials and Preparations
- Materials Needed
- One square sheet of origami paper. (recommended size: 6×6 inches/15×15 cm)
- A flat surface to fold on.
- A black pen or marker to add facial details. (Optional)
- Choosing the Right Paper
- I’m using single-colour origami paper. You can use double-sided origami paper, too.
- If you’re using thinner paper, it will be easier to fold, giving cleaner creases.
- Pre-Folding Tips
- Make sure your work surface is clean and flat.
- Practice making sharp creases by running your fingertip.
