Step by step written instructions for how to make an Paper Whale.
Grab your pieces of square paper. You can use lots of different colors for whales, but I think greys, blues and purples make good whale colors! Now for our simple steps to make this cute paper whale!
Diagonal
Take a square piece of paper and fold it across the diagonal. Open it up and fold it again in the opposite direction – you want that diagonal crease to go in both direction and be extra sharpe.
Kite shape
Open up the square again. Take one edge and bring it to meet the diagonal central line. Repeat with the other side – you should now have a kite shape.
Body shape
Fold down the top point to meet the central line. Then fold in half.
The tail
Take the long thing tip and fold up at a right angle. Give it a sharp crease.
Open up the origami and fold into the opposit direction.
Finally, make a small cut at the top of the tail and fold down.
Draw your facial features and done!
