A rabbit made with two sheets of origami paper

How to fold a rabbit [origami] — easy with 2 sheets 🐰 works with construction paper too

We’ll show you how to make a cute rabbit using two sheets of origami paper.

First, let’s make the face! Fold the paper in half into a square twice, then open the pocket to form a triangle.

Place the triangle with the point facing down, then fold up the left and right sides so they’re slightly away from the center line.

Fold the left and right corners toward the center, and adjust the top point to shape the rabbit’s ears.

To shape the overall face, fold in the left, right, and bottom corners to round them—this completes the face.

Next, for the body, proceed using the double-boat folding method and lock it into a hexagon shape.

Fold up the upper left and right corners, flip it over, and fold down the lower left and right corners.

Round the corners to form the arms and legs, then attach the face to the body—and you’re done!
