How to Make a Traditional Origami Rabbit

Begin Folds

Start with your paper white side up or the color that you don't want to see, in this case, the bunny will be yellow.

• Fold the top corner down to the bottom and make a precise crease.
• Fold both the top left and top right corners down to the bottom point and crease well.
• Fold the left and right corners up to the top point, again creasing well.
• Start with the right flap, open it out to the right, pressing the top of it down to form a slanted triangle. Repeat on the left side.

Make the Ears and Nose

• Rotate the paper to the left a little. Fold the top section backward and behind.
• Take the flap, which is at the bottom right, and flip it up and behind. This is a rotation movement, not a reverse fold. Repeat on the flap on the back.
• Fold the ears over to the left as indicated, the ears don't have to all be the same, as it's an animal, it looks nicer with some asymmetrical folds.
• Hold onto the ears at the head. Open out the left sections. The nose should go downward, while the left flaps are pushed over the top of the ears on both the front and back of the rabbit.

Finish up

• Make the two folds indicted and pleat fold them; the fold on the left is a mountain fold, while the diagonal fold is a valley fold. Open out the back of the rabbit to pleat fold them inside.
• Fold the nose under. This is now complete, but we like to fold the ears back out a little. We also like to glue the flaps that stick out from the neck, depending on what type of paper you use.
