I love making these, i always make them for cards and sometimes when i just feel like it. I first got shown how to do this by my teacher in year 6, we made Christmas cards! Ever since then i have always been making them!

Gather up your materials.
Find a template. Here i am using a pig template i found on the internet. draw round it on the card, then cut it out, like i have done.
Stick the iris folding pattern on the back, line it up with the one you have just cut out. Stick it there so it doesn't move.
Find some pieces of paper that you will use. cut it into strips then fold them in half, length ways. they are what we use for the pattern.
Start with number one, measure how much paper, rip it then stick it down on the line. Keep doing this with 2,3,4 and so on....
So yes the next one....
And keep going round...
and round...
and round...
Until you are left with the last one, the iris! Don't stick anything on there just yet...
Take the pattern off the back then it should show you pattern to look like this! Don't worry if it doesn't work out first time... Stick another piece of card on the back to cover up the mess and...
There you are finished... and you can make any other different patterns. Here i have made many teddies because i think they are cute, then there it my pig!
