Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- A square of red paper, about 4" or smaller
Step1
If paper is colored on one side only, begin with white side up. Fold corner to corner.
Step2
Notice the tips of the paper don't meet at the bottom; the ladybug shows through
Fold the outside corners down, but leave a gap in between. See picture.
Step3
Form the head by folding the top down and then back again, in a pleat.
Step4
Round the body by folding back the two outside corners and the corner under the wings. You'll have small triangles at the sides and the tail on the underside of the bug. If you like, you can tuck them in between the main layers of paper. This gives a neater look preferred by paperfolders. It's called reverse folding.
Step5
Make the ladybug three dimensional. Fold the body in half. Then open it again until it is not quite flat.
Step6
Add spots to it with a marker if you wish. Finished ladybug.
