How to make an Origami Cat.
Each cat will need two pieces of square origami paper. One for the head and one for the body.
First up, let’s make the cat’s body.
1. Take your first piece of paper and fold it in half along the diagonal to make a triangle.
2. Open your paper back out and lay it flat with one of the points facing you to make a diamond shape.
3. Fold the left and right sides in to meet the center crease and make a kite shape.
4. Fold your kite shape in half with the black side of the paper on the outside and the white on the inside.
5. Rotate 90 degrees and fold the long point to meet the opposite side and make the cat’s tale.
6. Put aside until later.
Next we’re going to make the cat’s face.
1. Take your second piece of paper and fold it in half along the diagonal to make a triangle.
2. Fold the left corner of the triangle down to meet the middle point.
3. Repeat on the other side.
There should now be 2 triangle flaps.
4. Take the triangle flaps and fold them back on themselves to make the ears.
5. Fold the top point down to make the top of the head.
6. Next fold the top layer of the bottom up to meet the bottom of the ears. This will make a white triangle.
7. Flip your origami over to reveal your cat head shape.
8. Fold the bottom point up to make a white triangle.
Use the triangle fold you made on the other side as a guide.
9. Fold the tip of the white triangle down to make the nose.
10. Add sticker eyes or googly eyes to make your cat’s face.
11. To finish off your origami cat slide the cat’s head onto the body.
You can use a little glue to attach the head to the body.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab some paper, get folding, and before you know it, you’ll have a whole bunch of adorable (or spooky!) black cats to show off.
