Origami: How to fold a Snowman

You might want to make a snowman when the ground is covered with snow, right?★

I would make one and always worry and go out to check

if it was still there when I woke up in the morning!♪

Today, I’ll show you how to make two types of snowman!♥　

How to fold a Snowman Ver.1

This will be a cute snowman with a characteristic triangle hat!★

You only need one sheet of origami paper!

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

2. Fold it down along the dotted line.

3. Fold it in half of the folded triangle along the dotted line and make a crease.

4. Fold the tip up to the crease that you just made.

5. Fold it up to the crease that you made in No.3.

6. Fold it up on more time along the crease that you made.

7. Turn it over.

8. Fold both sides at the 1/3 length from each ending of the sides.

9. Fold it up along the dotted line.

10. Fold it down along the dotted line.

11. Fold both sides toward the middle, along the dotted lines.

12. Open the bag part towards the arrows and fold them.

13. Fold the bottom corner up along the dotted line.

14. Turn it over.

15. Draw a face with a pen and…

16. it’s done!

If you use the red origami paper, it’ll be a snowman with Santa’s hat on!

You can use this as a Christmas ornament too! It’s going to be so cute!♥

How to fold a Snowman Ver.2

This is the one with a little hat too!

It’s a little easier to fold that the Ver.1!★

The tip for this one is to fold each crease checking its balance so that it will be round!♪

2. Fold it in half again.

3. Fold it up along the dotted line.

4. Fold each corner up along the dotted lines.

5. Fold each corner along the dotted lines.

6. Fold each corner towards the middle, along the dotted lines.

7. Turn it over.

8. Fold only one layer of the corner behind.

9. Fold the tip behind, along the dotted line.

10. Draw a face with a pen and…

11. it’s done!

You can draw however expression you like!

ou can also use this as a message card, by writing a message on it!★

If you slightly fold the completed one in half vertically,

you can make it stand as well!♪
