Origami Ball Instructions

How to make an origami Ball

Shown here in my Lavender origami paper, available in Origami Paper Set 1 in my boutique.

Start with your paper pattern side up.

Fold in half.

Unfold.

Rotate 90 degrees and fold in half again.

Unfold and flip paper over.

Fold the paper diagonally one way.

Unfold and refold diagonally on the other angle.

Unfold. Now your paper should have all of these folds.

Flip the paper over and fold it into this pyramid shape.

Fold it flat.

Fold the left flap up to meet the point. Crease firmly.

Do the same to the right flap.

Flip the whole thing over and do the same folds to the remaining left and right flaps.

Now fold the outer tips of the flaps to the center fold like so:

Flip and do the same on the other side.

Open the left hole and prepare to bend and slide the point above it into it.

Do this to both sides.

Flip the whole thing over and repeat on the other side. Stick them as far in as you can.

Find the hole at one end of the origami. Blow into it like a balloon while gently separating the shape to inflate your origami ball!

Finished!
