Do you have a fetish for frogs? Then we suggest trying your hand at folding an easy origami frog to add to your collection of the world\u2019s most adorable amphibian! You\u2019re just a hop, skip and jump away\u2014so let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n


\n\"How<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> For this easy origami frog model, you can use origami paper that is a different color on each\u00a0side, however, the finished model will only show the color that is facing you in Step 1.<\/em><\/p>\n

Step 1<\/h3>\n

Start with a square piece of origami paper and fold it in half vertically. If your paper has two colors, make sure you fold it so that the color shows on the outside of both the front and back.<\/p>\n

\"origami<\/p>\n

Step 2<\/h3>\n

Fold the paper toward you in half horizontally. Then unfold. You will use this line as a guide in\u00a0Step 3.<\/p>\n

\"origami<\/p>\n

Step 3<\/h3>\n

Fold the upper half of the paper backward so that the top edge lines up with the horizontal, center fold made in Step 2. Then unfold.<\/p>\n

\"origami<\/p>\n

Step 4<\/h3>\n

Fold both top corners diagonally toward you so that they\u00a0touch the opposite corners of the fold line made in Step 2. The “X” should intersect at the fold made in Step 3. Then unfold.<\/p>\n

Step 5<\/h3>\n

Using the folds from Steps 2\u20134, collapse the top half of the paper\u00a0so that it looks like a triangle.<\/p>\n

\"origami<\/p>\n

Step 6<\/h3>\n

There are now 2 flaps on the triangle made from Step 5. Fold each flap up to make the frog\u2019s front legs. (Use the image in Step 7 for reference.)<\/p>\n

\"origami<\/p>\n

Step 7<\/h3>\n

Vertically fold the left and right sides of the model in toward each other\u00a0so that they line up in the center. The folds should\u00a0be behind the front legs.<\/p>\n

\"origami<\/p>\n

Step 8<\/h3>\n

At the bottom of the model, diagonally fold the left and right corners up so that they meet along the vertical, center line. Then unfold.<\/p>\n

\"origami<\/p>\n

Step 9<\/h3>\n

Unfold to Step 7.<\/p>\n

\"origami<\/p>\n

Step 10<\/h3>\n

Collapse the paper\u00a0using the lines created in Steps 7\u20138. This will create the back legs of the origami frog.<\/p>\n

\"origami<\/p>\n

Step 11<\/h3>\n

Finish shaping the back legs by folding each corner down. (Use the image in Step 12 for guidance.)<\/p>\n

\"origami<\/p>\n

Step 12<\/h3>\n

Fold the model in half horizontally so that the tips of the front legs and back legs touch. Then unfold.<\/p>\n

\"origami
\n\"origami<\/p>\n

Step 13<\/h3>\n

Fold the bottom legs backward where the two legs meet in the center.<\/p>\n

\"origami<\/p>\n

Step 14<\/h3>\n

Refold the line made in Step 12.<\/p>\n

\"origami<\/p>\n

Step 15<\/h3>\n

Turn the model\u00a0over so that the back and head are face up. You’re done!<\/p>\n

Tips on Choosing the Right Origami Paper<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Part of the fun with folding origami is the paper you use. For this easy origami frog, we think Japanese washi paper or single-sided origami paper would both be\u00a0excellent choices (you can even buy washi paper<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0and single-sided origami paper<\/a><\/strong><\/span> direct from Japan).<\/p>\n

If you would like to learn more about the\u00a0kinds of origami paper available in Japan, and how you can buy some of your own, be sure to read our article on how to choose the right origami paper<\/a><\/strong><\/span> for your folding project!<\/p>\n
