Origami Basketball

Materials:
  • Colored paper
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
Steps:​
  1. Cut a regular sheet of paper down to a square size.
  2.  Fold it into thirds. This can be done by measuring about 2.8 inches from either side.
  3.  Fold each of those folds in half again.
  4.  Fold the top right corner over to the left. Unfold and repeat on the other side.
  5.  Fold from the top down through the point where the last folds met.
  6. Not necessary, but if you want to draw a net, use a ruler to draw lines across the top section of your paper.
  7. Push in the two sides of the horizontal crease and fold it down.
  8. Tuck the two corners into each other to make the net.
  9. Fold in the two sides to make the net stand up.
  10. Make some small crumpled pieces of paper for the actual basketballs.
  11. Now it’s time to test it out & play!
