Samurai Helmet

This is a fun little project. It should take roughly 5 minutes. It will be something cool to show your friends.

Materials needed are 8 x 11 copy paper and a pair of scissors.

Take the right corner and fold it down towards the bottom left corner. It should create a triangle with about 2 and a half inch of paper left.

With the scissors cut the excess paper. Make sure the paper resembles a triangle.

Take the right tip and fold it so it sits flush with the middle tip of the triangle. Repeat with the left tip.

Take the tips of the two flaps that were created in step 4 and fold them so they sit flush with the top of the triangle. See the picture above.

To create the horns, take the flaps that were made in step 5 and fold them outwardly. As shown in the picture. Make sure they are the same size, for the sake of symmetry.

Take the bottom tip and fold it until it is halfway on the top triangle.

There should be an excess of paper ( about half an inch) after the previous step. Fold that bit of paper up to create the bottom border.

Flip the helmet over and fold the bottom triangle up so the bottom peak sits flush with top peak.

To help the helmet stand, open up the underside so it creates a sturdy base.

You should have a nice origami samurai helmet!
