Fold Paper in half (hamburger style), then into three. You should have six equally sized segments.

Cut the Six Segments Apart

You only need one segment to make your origami yoda, but if you mess up you've got extras.

From the Top of the Paper, Mark 2 Cm In

You'll use this mark for the next fold.

Fold Top of Paper Down, So That the Folded Portion Is 2 Cm
