A rabbit folded from two sheets of origami paper

Easy! How to fold an origami bunny | Moon-viewing craft for ages 2 and up — Origami Bunny

Rabbits are often depicted together with moon viewing because the white patterns on the moon are said to resemble a rabbit pounding mochi.

Let’s make such a rabbit using two sheets of origami paper.

First, fold the first sheet into a triangle twice, then open the triangle and fold it into a square.

Next, fold down the top single layer in half.

Flip it over and repeat the same steps.

Fold both ears toward the center, then fold the tip of one ear outward to finish the face.

Now take the second sheet of origami, fold it into a triangle in half, and open it.

Fold all four edges inward along the crease to form a diamond shape.

Fold the bottom part up, then fold it slightly back down.

Fold the top part inward as well, then fold everything in half to complete the body.

Finally, glue the face and body together and draw the face to complete your rabbit!
