Creating an Origami Mini Skirt Dress
What You Will Need
- Flower-print Origami Paper
How to Make It
Step 1: Folding One Side of the Paper
To begin this project, grab a flower print origami sheet that has a plain white side. Next, fold one edge of the paper to reveal a white stripe.
Step 2: Folding the Opposite Side of the Paper
Then, fold the other edge of the paper again, so a white stripe appears on that side too.
Step 3: Flipping and Folding to the Middle
Flip the paper to its plain white surface and fold the uncreased sides towards the center of the paper, creating a middle division as shown in the picture.
Step 4: Folding Again to the Partition
Once more, fold the edges towards that central partition.
Step 5: Making an Inside Reverse Fold
Place a finger in the middle of the partition, and from its right side, open the initial layer of the division to perform an inside reverse fold over it. This part will become the skirt for the dress.
Step 6: Making a Collar
From the opposite end of the skirt, fold the paper again to create another inside reverse fold on that side. However, this time use both layers of the partition, not just the middle section.
Step 7: Folding the Collar
Fold the collar to the opposite side of the paper, as illustrated in the image.
Step 8: Flipping Over
Flip the paper over to see the skirt section.
Step 9: Folding the Skirt to the Other Side
Now, fold the skirt over to the side where the collar was folded.
Step 10: Inserting the Part in the Collar
Carefully tuck the corners of the back rectangular skirt into the collar.
Step 11: Flipping Over the Figure
Turn the figure over to reveal a finished dress. Ensure all the creases are perfectly sharp to make the dress look its best.
