Today in Jeremy’s Krafting Korner: Origami Kittens!
Hooray! It's about time you got around to something with kittens in it. Kittens are my favorite! LOL! I especially like the kittens in This Youtube Video!
That one's only an hour long. Can it have even a quarter of the funniest kittens on the internets?
I guess you'll have to tell us all an hour from now! LOL!
So anyway...everyone loves kittens, but not everyone loves cleaning the hair off the furniture, or cleaning out the litter box. So, here's a fun way to have all the cute and cuddly kittens you want with none of the work! I have about 30 of these in random places around my house now, and you can too! Here's how to make Origami Kittens!
To form your Kitten's face:
Step 1: Start with a 6 inch square origami paper color side down. Fold on horizontal diagonal axis. Crease well and unfold. Fold the paper over on vertical diagonal axis but only crease on the center point.
Step 2: Fold the top tip down to meet the center point. Then fold over the center crease.
Step 3: Fold the right tip to meet bottom point 'A". Similarly, fold left tip.
Step 4: Fold both the right and left tips upwards to form ears.
Step 5: Fold the top tip downwards, slightly above the intersection of center seam and ears.
Step 6: Flip paper over. Fold 35% of the bottom tip upwards.
Step 7: Fold down the tip of your Kitten's nose.
To form your Kitten's body:
Step 1: Start with a 6 inch square origami paper color side down. Fold on vertical diagonal axis. Crease well and unfold.
Step 2: Fold both sides upwards towards the center crease. Then fold in half along the crease.
Step 3: Fold parallel to the short side, 60% up the hypotenuse.
Step 4: Fold along intersection of main body and new hypotenuse (This is your Kitten's tail!)
Step 5: Undo your last two folds. Using the creases made, you can now bring the right tip over to the left and squash it down.
Step 5: Fold The tail up between two corners.
Step 7: Fold your kitten's tail in half by bringing the left flap over the right.
Complete Your Kitten:
Step 1: Attach Kitten head to Kitten body. (Tape or hot glue work equally well)
Step 2: Draw eyes and whiskers (Or attach googly eyes) on your kitten's face.
Step 3: Say "Meow" in a high-pitched and happy voice. Listen carefully for purrs.

When you're all done, you'll have an adorable kitten, ready to play in a box! Here's one I made last night:
Have fun, everybody! Come back and share with us your pictures of Origami Kittens, and make sure to leave comments! BYEEEE! LOL!
