Most wizards in fairy tales are wise and good, and use their magical powers to help others. Older wizards are easily recognizable by their flowing robes, pointed hats, and long white beards. Wizards like to live alone out in the woods where they can practice their magic in peace.

Instructions

  1. Small 2019 11 12 151321 screenshot%2b2019 11 12%2bat%2b15.13.03

    Begin with the white side facing up. Fold and unfold the left corner to the right corner.

  2. Small 2019 11 12 151328 screenshot%2b2019 11 12%2bat%2b15.13.11

    Fold the left edge to just past the center crease, as shown by the dotted line.

  3. Small 2019 11 12 151455 screenshot%2b2019 11 12%2bat%2b15.14.38

    Fold the right edge to the dotted line—the same distance as the left edge. The flaps will overlap.

  4. Small 2019 11 12 151522 screenshot%2b2019 11 12%2bat%2b15.15.01

    Fold the model in half, bottom to top.

  5. Small 2019 11 12 152008 screenshot%2b2019 11 12%2bat%2b15.19.48

    Fold the top point down to where the flaps intersect on the back, indicated by the dotted line. You may have to hold the model up to a light to see that point.

  6. Small 2019 11 12 153530 screenshot%2b2019 11 12%2bat%2b15.35.11

    Pleat the left and right flaps around the underlying triangular flap to form the sleeves. See the next diagram for placement.

  7. Small 2019 11 12 153551 screenshot%2b2019 11 12%2bat%2b15.35.42

    Fold the left and right sleeves forward slightly. Mountain fold and unfold the model up to the bottom of the beard along the center. This helps the model stand.

    The completed Wizard. Now come up with some magic words for him to say!
