Pig face

How to fold an origami pig face

Paper
One square sheet of paper.
Preparation
No cutting or gluing is included in these folding steps. Begin with “Fold left to right and unfold”. A pen is optional if you want to add the facial details shown in the finished model.
What you will make
A pig face with folded ears and a snout.

Make a pig face using the center creases to position the corners, ears, and snout. For the snout, first fold both lower layers upward together, then fold down only the front tip. A side view helps distinguish which layers move.

Follow the 9 steps above by scrolling. Drag the model to inspect a fold from another angle, and scroll back to review a previous step.
