"Unfold it and refold this section. These are the hind legs of your hamster. Now with this edge, we are going to narrow the hind leg of our hamster by folding this edge to this crease, or this fold, like this. You are going to take the raw edge and fold it to the crease this way, not the other way. So, the raw edge and fold it at a point to this other edge. And now, fold your unit in half and you have the basic shape of your hamster. Pull up the ears. Pull up the ears at an angle, like so. Like this, flatten and crease. Take your scissors and cut down the center crease to form your ears. For the tail we are going to do a kind of a pleat fold, by folding the point down and folding it back up. Pleat fold, except we are going to hide it in between the layers. So, kind of a inside reverse fold and then inside reverse fold back out. Following the creases that we made to get that little tail for the hamster. And there is your hamster."
