How to Make an Origami Dog Face

What you need:

• our printable dog origami paper
• printer
• paper
• scissors
• coloring supplies if you are printing our black and white templates

Optional: craft stick for creasing the folds

Follow the Step by Step Folding Instructions with Pictures

Print out our fun templates (you can grab them at the very end of this tutorial)..

We used markers, but there are other fun coloring supplies you can color yours with (for example we loved using the ink pads when we were coloring our origami bunnies).

Once colored in, or if you printed our pre-colored version, cut the square origami paper out.

Now comes the folding!

Fold the origami paper in half, diagonally, with the dog face on one side and ears on the other.

Crease the folds to make them nice and crisp (you can help yourself with a craft stick, we run it across the fold to make it crisper).

Now flip on the other side and you’ll see a line for the ears.

All that’s left to do, is to make a fold just under the dog’s mouth – no rules as to where this fold needs to be, you can make it a bit higher or lower – this will give your origami dog face a unique shape.

You can even make this origami dog stand on it’s own with the help of the last fold you did!

Wonderful isn’t it? We love it and hope you will be making many of them.
