Fold a Ring

Have you ever wanted to give your Lieblingsmensch a gift but your budget is very low? This instructable is going to lead you step by step to a wonderful, feasible, original and beautiful present to tell someone your are in love.

You will need:

• Origami-folding-paper with one or two colors with the size of 10 x 10 cm. (You can also use lightweight paper with the size of 10 x 10 cm. So a maximum of 120g will do the job.)
• In case you use lightweight paper you will also need a ruler and scissors.

Use a 10 x 10 cm Origami-folding-paper.

Fold the Origami-folding-paper into half, flattening the edges precisely.

Turn the paper 90 degrees to the right and fold the Origami-folding-paper into half again. Your Origami-folding-paper should be now folded twice.

Now fold one half of the Origami-folding-paper into another half.

Turn the Origami-folding-paper around and fold the second half of it into another half. Now you should have seven foldings going horizontally and one folding going vertically.

Fold down the last part of the horizontal folding and turn the Origami-folding-paper around.

Fold one corner of your Origami-folding-paper down to the third line. Do the same with the other corner.

Turn your Origami-folding-paper around and fold down the sharp corner to the second line of your Origami-folding-paper. Then turn the paper around again.

Lift one corner of the Origami-folding-paper to the opposite corner. To the same with the other side.

Fold down the upper left corner to the right. To do same with the other side.

Fold the overlapping edges to the back so that they hide underneath.

Fold the bottom edge of your Origami-folding-paper one step up and repeat the step three other times. You should now perceive a heart.

To receive a ring-like-loop help yourself by folding the left and the right edges into the middle.

The next step is to fold down one end of the apparent strip a bit up, but not more than 2mm.

You can now make a small gap (with a pen) on the other side of the apparent stripe so it's going to be easier to nest both ends into each other.

Your Origami-paper-ring is now finished. I hope you enjoyed the process.
