Easy maple leaf origami instructions

We’ll show you how to fold a simple, irresistibly touchable, cute maple leaf.

Start by folding into a triangle and creasing, then fold both sides of the paper toward the center line to form the base of the maple leaf.

The key is to tuck the paper in so that it puffs up slightly.

As you fold, match the height of the maple leaf’s lobes, keeping the left-right balance in mind.

Since some parts will get thicker as layers overlap, fold those sections slowly and carefully.

You might also enjoy gluing the finished maple leaves onto poster board to create a maple tree!
