How to Make an Origami Bunny

Easy8 steps Animals

A bunny (rabbit) face with two upright ears, in eight steps. A quick Easter fold for cards and baskets.

You need: One square of paper. 15 cm (6 inch) origami paper is ideal; any square sheet works.

Step by step

1
Start turned like a diamond. Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner.
2
Fold the bottom edge up a little, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) on an 18 cm (7 inch) square.
3
Fold in half from side to side, then unfold.
4
Fold the bottom edge on each side up to the centre line. The corners become the ears.
5
Fold the left and right corners in a little.
6
Fold the bottom point up.
7
Fold the tips of the ears down.
8
Turn the paper over.
✓
Draw the eyes and a little nose. Your bunny is done.

The band you fold at the start sets the width of the ears: fold it a little wider for bigger ears.
Draw the eyes and nose on the plain side, after you turn it over.
