1. Take a square sheet of paper, hold it color underneath. 2. Prepare a kite base. We assume that the long point of double thickness is towards the right, the obtuse point of single thickness towards the left. The left edges of the upper triangular flaps on the right form a vertical line. 3. Fold the obtuse point from left to right using a valley fold based on the vertical line formed by the left edges of the upper triangular flaps. We obtain a triangular flap which partly covers the two upper triangular flaps located on the right. 4. Slide the upper left flap under the upper right flaps. 5. Flip the fold up and down. We have a triangular shape whose upper face is smooth. 6. Fold the triangular shape in half using a valley fold passing through the middle of the left side and the right vertex. We obtain a right triangle with a long point to the right. 7. Bring, by an oblique valley fold passing through the upper left vertex, the left side of the triangle along the upper edge. Mark well. Unfold. 8. Using a reverse fold using the previous fold, tuck the lower left corner inside the front flap. 9. Flip the fold from right to left. We have a triangular shape with a sharp point on the right and, on the left, three flaps. Making of the head and ears 10. Fold to the left, almost vertically, the left side of the upper left flap, by a valley fold passing through the lower vertex. The upper left vertex now extends beyond the top of the fold. This will be the future left ear. If we pull the upper edge located to the right of the ear slightly forward, we discover inside to the left a flap which rests on the leftmost point of the fold. 11. Keeping the flap that has just been formed glued to the edge of the right rear flap, pull the interior flap to the left then, using a rotating movement from left to right, bring it onto the fold that forms the ear. We have just reversed the interior flap. We obtain a triangular front flap which hides the flap which forms the ear. This protrudes above the upper edge. 12. Fold, by a valley fold from right to left passing through the lower vertex of the triangular shape and perpendicular to the upper edge, the right side of the upper triangle. Mark the fold. Unfold. 13. Reverse the fold you have just made into a mountain fold. We obtain a right triangle whose upper horizontal edge extends slightly to the right of the ear. 14. Fold the right corner of the upper triangle downwards, resting on the point of intersection with the left edge of the ear. To mark. Unfold. There is no marker. An idea might be to make an oblique fold at 45¡, bringing the upper horizontal side vertical. 15. Reverse the fold you have just made into a mountain fold. */The left side of the head is finished. You have to do the same thing at the back of the fold. 16. Flip the model from right to left. 17. Fold to the right, almost vertically, the right side of the upper right flap, by a valley fold passing through the lower vertex. The upper right vertex now extends beyond the top of the fold. This will be the future right ear. If we pull the upper edge located to the left of the ear slightly forward, we discover inside to the right a flap which rests on the rightmost point of the fold. 18. Keeping the flap that has just been formed glued to the edge of the left rear flap, pull the interior flap to the right then, using a rotating movement from right to left, bring it onto the fold that forms the ear. 19. Fold, by a valley fold from left to right passing through the lower vertex of the triangular shape and perpendicular to the upper edge, the left side of the upper triangle. Mark the fold. Unfold. 20. Reverse the fold you have just made into a mountain fold. 21. Fold the left corner of the upper triangle downwards, resting on the point of intersection with the right edge of the ear. To mark. Unfold. There is no marker. An idea might be to make an oblique fold at 45¡, bringing the upper horizontal side vertical. 22. Reverse the fold you have just made into a mountain fold. The head is finished. Prepare the tail 23. Turn the fold so that the head is on the left and the long tip is on the right. 24. Fold the long point down, with a valley fold from right to left passing through the bottom apex of the triangular shape. There is no guide on the top edge. It's all about proportion. 25. Unfold the tip upwards and perform an inside reverse fold using the previous fold. 26. Refine the upper flap of the point which has just been folded by bringing, through a valley fold from right to left passing through the lower summit of the point, bringing the right edge of the point to the left edge. Mark the fold through all thicknesses. Unfold. 27. Reverse the fold you just made. 28. Flip the fold from right to left. 29. Refine the top flap of the tip with a valley fold from left to right passing through the lower apex of the tip, bringing the left edge of the tip to the right edge. Mark the fold through all thicknesses. Unfold. 30. Reverse the fold you just made. There is now a very fine point running along one side. 31. Reverse the fine point so that it goes in the opposite direction while continuing along the same side. There is no reference point, but the further back we move from the reversal point, the longer the tail will be. 32. Shape by slightly opening both ears forward, rounding the neck and belly and giving a little movement to the tail. The little mouse desperately reaches out for a piece of cheese... which doesn't come! |
