Erin and I really enjoy Origami as long as it is a simple anough design that we can follow, it is a lot of fun:) So we were very excited when we found this little origami frog in our Readers Digest Crafts and Hobbies book and this is our attempt at making him. This is such an amazing book to own, it is just filled with beautiful projects. I have an old edition that my mom-in-law gave to me a few years ago and love it! Some of the photos are a little blurry in my tutorial, but if that doesn’t bother you too much, he really is a sweet craft to make:)
Materials:
Ruler
Scissors
Pencil
Pretty paper
Flat surface
Measure out 8cm by 13 cm on a piece of paper and cut out your rectangular shape.
Fold left side of your paper over.
Then right side of your paper.
It should look like this.
Fold over in the centre of the cross.
Push in both sides and top of your paper in the folds.
Press flat.
It should look like this.
Fold right side over to the left.
Fold left side over to the right.
They should look like this.
Bend right flap over.
Bend left flep over for the legs.
Here are his legs.
Fold over the left side.
Do the same with the right side.
Fold over the bottom for the legs.
Like this.
Press down so that the legs are firmly underneath. If you press lightly down, he will actually hop. They can even have hopping races.
There they are:)
Enjoy!
