A cute fox that can be folded from a single sheet of origami

[Made with one sheet of origami] Easy and cute fox origami ◇Origami Fox, fox, animal◇

Here’s how to fold a cute fox made by halving an origami sheet.

First, turn the origami paper over and fold it in half.

Cut along the center crease to make two pieces.

Please have an adult assist with the scissors.

Take one of the cut pieces and fold it in half with the back side facing out.

Fold one edge toward the center to make a crease, then fold the other edge to meet that crease.

Using the folded side as a base, fold both ends up diagonally.

Flip it over and fold both ends in to meet the center line.

Fold both corners up to form the ears, adjust the shape, and the face is done.

Now let’s make the body with the other piece.

Turn the origami over and fold it in half, then fold the bottom edge all the way up.

Flip it over and fold the same way.

Adjust it to form the body and tail shapes, and the body is complete.

Finally, draw the face with a pen.

A cute fox that can sing and play

Origami Theater “Fox” / Easy and Quick to Make / Cute, Heartwarming Childcare

Please prepare two sheets of yellow origami paper and one sheet of red origami paper.

Fold both yellow sheets into triangles.

With one of them, turn the base to the top and fold both side edges diagonally inward to make the fox’s face.

With the other, keep the base at the bottom and fold up the left and right corners in the same way to make the fox’s body.

Attach a nose to the bottom corner of the fox’s face, draw the eyes, and glue the face to the body.

At this point, if you attach a diamond-shaped piece cut from the red origami to the back side of the corner where you placed the nose, lifting that nose corner will make it look like the fox is opening its mouth.

An easy fox for everyone

[Origami] A fox face anyone can easily make in 2 minutes / How to make an easy origami fox (in 2 minutes)

Here’s an origami idea for making a fox with a wide face.

Fold the paper into a triangle twice, then unfold it once so it’s only folded once.

Fold the top corner down to meet the center of the bottom edge, then fold the left and right corners up diagonally toward the inside.

It works well if you fold them so they come slightly inside the edges of the small triangle created by the top fold.

Turn the paper over, draw the face with a pen, and you’re done! Since it only takes five folds, it’s a simple process that’s perfect for a three-year-old just starting with origami.

A fish you can make by folding five times

[Origami for Summer Festivals] Easy-to-Fold Fish

Let me show you a very simple way to fold a fish.

First, fold it into a triangle and open it to make a crease.

Fold the left corner slightly inward, then fold it back into a triangle.

Fold the top corner of the triangle down to the bottom edge, and then make a valley fold on the right corner—and you’re done! Feel free to draw the face, fins, and scales as you like.

Even if the folding angles aren’t exact, it won’t affect the finished fish; in fact, you’ll end up with a charming, unique fish.

It sounds like a great way to fully enjoy the fun of origami!
