Impress your friend with this inflatable origami balloon frog!
Steps
-
Make an origami balloon base.
-
Fold the corners at the bottom up.
-
Repeat with the other side, by flipping it over, and folding the corners up.
-
Fold the left side over to the right side, almost as if you were flipping a page in a book. Make sure you only fold 1 flap.
-
Do the same with the other side.
-
Since you have 4 flaps, flip it over so that if you folded one of the flaps in towards the middle, there would be a hole in the bottom of the flap. Repeat this for all 4 of the flaps. There should be flaps under those flaps you just folded.
-
Tuck those flaps into the holes by widening the holes with your index finger, and gently sliding the other flap in. There should be a clear side with no folds or anything.
-
Draw a little frog face on the plain side. There should be a hole just above the face you just drew. Blow into that hole. The object should inflate!
Tips
- Green paper makes it look better. If desired, add hair by putting cotton balls on to the top to get a sort of George Washington look.
