First you need a sheet of paper , any colour you want your frog to be .
I used a namecard to get the exact size I want . The exact measurement : 9cm by 5cm .
Fold one corner diagonally down to the opposite edge, so it will make an X shape out of the creases when you unfold it . Then open it . Repeat with the other corner .
Cut off the extra paper outside of the square you just made . ( as shown in picture ).
Open the square back up and fold it in the centre . ( as shown in picture ). Then press it down .
& it'll be a triangle like this .
Fold the outside corner up to the top point . Repeat step with the other side .
Fold the new corner in , towards the center line . Again , repeat with other side .
Fold the top corners back out . It'll be even with the edge underneath . Repeat with the other side ( yes , I know . Again! ).
It'll look like this . Then flip it over .
Fold the outer corners towards into the center .
This is what both sides done looks like .
Fold the outer corners back out , so that they're even with the outside edges .
This is what it'll look like . Those red lines there , are there as guides . Fold the frog in half . Then follow the dotted line and fold again , make sure the legs are facing outwards . ( Like they should! )
& your done! :D ( Mine was folded in a hurry for the tutorial purpose , so forgive me for the frog being crooked )
This is the side view .
You may have to squeeze it a little so it stands up properly & will be able to hop .
See the red dot? That's where you press & it'll hop (:
I added googly animal eyes to mine .
& so it looks like this! :D ( This one I made for a friend , since she likes pink ) Side view (:
& we're done! :D Front view .
