How to Do an Origami Cartoon Character

The Japanese art of origami involves creating interesting and intricate shapes out of pieces of paper by folding methods only. You can make your own cartoon character, such as a puppy dog face, using this ancient art. You will need origami paper that is available from a hobby shop or crafts store. You will also need household items that most homes have on hand, but which can be acquired from the same location as the paper if needed.

Things You'll Need

  • Origami paper, white
  • black magic marker
  • Blue magic marker
  • Pink magic marker

Instructions

    • 1

      Place the sheet of origami paper on a table. Fold the upper left corner over to the lower right corner to form a triangle. Smooth the crease down with your fingers.

    • 2

      Fold the points of the triangle toward each other. Smooth the creases down with your fingers. Unfold the paper.

    • 3

      Rotate the paper, if necessary, so that the right-angled side of the triangle is facing you.

    • 4

      Fold the points of the triangle down to form smaller triangles (i.e., the ears).

    • 5

      Turn the sheet of paper over. Fold the point at the top of the paper straight down to the center. Smooth the crease down. Repeat this procedure, only with the point at the bottom of the sheet of paper. Smooth the creases of the fold at the top and bottom of the sheet of paper with your fingers.

      Turn the sheet over. Draw a face on the dog using a black magic marker. Include a tongue sticking out. Color in the eyes with a blue magic marker. Color the tongue with the pink magic marker.
