Origami Hamster Legs & Body

Video Transcript

"In this clip I will show you how to fold a hamster. This can be found in the book, "Easy Origami," by Didier Bourson. So take your sheet of paper with the color side down, fold it in half on the diagonal, point to point. So that you have a nice triangle. Now take the top layer, and fold the top point down just a little bit. These are going to be the ears for the hamster. And this is where you kind of eyeball it, there is no specific point where you fold it to, just the ears of the hamster. Now take the lower, the layer on the bottom and fold that tip down just a little triangle, these will become the nose for your hamster. Now turn your entire unit to the other side, and fold it, valley fold point to point. So that your unit is folded in half into a triangle, except for the nose. Unfold, and take this section and fold it up at a angle, this is the hind leg of your hamster. Refold it and do the same thing with this flap, fold it along this edge so that you can be sure that your legs are symmetric."
