Origami Pig

The pig is a relatively simple origami animal. The pig looks pretty realistic, especially if made out of a nice bright pink piece of paper.



Step 1: Start with your paper color side down and valley fold the top to the bottom


Step 2: Unfold


Step 3: Valley fold the top and bottom edges to the center crease line


Step 4: Turn the model over


Step 5: Valley fold the model in half


Step 6: Unfold


Step 7: Valley fold the left and right edges to the center


Step 8: Squash fold the top left partition by taking the bottom edge of the top left square and squash folding it over (see pic below)


It should look like this:

Step 9: Repeat step 8 on the other four partitions


Step 10: Valley fold the middle point (on the right) to the far left


Step 11: Valley fold the bottom half up to the top



Step 12: Valley fold the top edge of the left corner down...

...like so:

Step 13: Do the same on the front 


Step 14: Turn the model over and repeat steps 12 and 13



Step 15: Once it looks like this valley fold the far left point up slightly, crease and unfold



Step 16: Inside reverse fold the flap up


Step 17: Valley fold the very tip down a tiny bit


Step 18: Reverse fold the point down to form a snout


Step 19: Unfold the top of the model to the bottom


Step 20: Valley fold the left part of the model to the right along the already present center crease


Step 21: Valley fold it back partway (crimp fold)


Step 22: Valley fold the bottom back up to the top. Now your pig will be a little more fat.

If you want you can paperclip the top so the pig does not stay wide open. If you don't have a paperclip or tape, I would just unfold what you did in steps 20-22.


Step 23: To form the feet do a modified crimp fold (just like in the dinosaur), pushing the tip back



Step 24: Do this to all four feet and your adorable piggy is complete!
