Origami: How to fold Bread (Croissant, a Piece of Plain Bread)

You see so many kinds of bread when you go to the bakery, right?

They all look so delicious that even time when we choose is so fun too, right?♥　

I bet some people bake original bread.

The smell of such fresh bread makes us happy, doesn’t it?♪

Let’s make such bread with origami paper together!

Today, I’ll show you how to fold a croissant and a piece of plain bread!★

How to fold a Croissant

Croissant is crunchy and delicious, isn’t it?

Croissant means a Crescent Moon in French.

Let’s try to make a croissant-like shape with origami paper!★

1. Fold it in half twice along the dotted lines to make creases.

2. Fold both sides to the middle along the dotted lines.

3. Fold both sides along the dotted lines.

4. Fold it in half.

5. Fold both corners up along the dotted lines.

6. Fold them along the dotted lines so that

they will look like staircases, like the picture, No.7.

7. Fold them the same way for these parts along the dotted lines.

8. Turn it over and…

9. it’s done!

If you draw it with a brown pen, it will be a chocolate croissant too!

If you use brown or orange origami paper, they will look more delicious!★
