Origami: How to fold Slime (Dragon Quest)

Speaking of a staple monster of Dragon Quest, it’s Slime, right?★

It was designed by a cartoonist, Toriyama Akira,

who is also famous for ‘Doctor Slamp’ or ‘Dragon Ball’.

Most Slimes are not that strong and their friendly-calm faces always heal us♥

Let’s fold Slime with Origami paper♪

 【How to fold】

1）Fold it in half twice to make two squares.

2）Open the bag and fold it to make a triangle.

Do the same thing for the other side too.

3）Fold both sides to the middle along the dotted lines.

4）Fold the right side up along the dotted line so that No.1 and No.2 lines will meet.

5）Fold it toward the arrow along the dotted line.

6）Fold it toward the arrow along the dotted line again.

7）Fold the triangle part inside, like the pictures below.

Do the same thing for the other side and the back too.

8）Fold the tip down.

9）Blow it to the hole, putting some air.

10）Draw eyes and a mouth, and it’s done!

Slime’s special features are a drop-shape body and a jiggle-feel!★

In Ver.2, I showed you how to fold a three dimension type Slime.

When you blow into the hole,

adjust the paper with your fingers at the same time,

just like we do when we make a balloon with Origami paper.

The face looks so simple, so it’s very easy to draw！
