Text To fold this very friendly fox, use a two-tone square sheet, for example orange on one side, white on the other. The body will be orange. For blind people, it is recommended to practice using a sheet of braille paper, heavily punched on one side only. The rough side (at the protruding points) will play the role of body color. The smooth side will play the role of secondary color. The thickness of Braille paper will not simplify the task!

1. Place the body color sheet underneath, with the upper edge in a horizontal position.

2. Bring the right edge of the sheet to the left edge (valley fold of the first vertical median). Unfold.
You will make the same fold from the left edge, replacing left with right and vice versa.

3. Bring the bottom edge of the sheet to the top edge (valley fold of the second median). Unfold.

4. Bring the top right point to the bottom left point (valley fold of a first diagonal). Unfold.
You will make the same fold from the left edge, replacing left with right and vice versa.

4. Bring the top right point to the bottom left point (valley fold of a first diagonal). Unfold.
You will make the same fold from the left edge, replacing left with right and vice versa.

5. Bring the top point on the left to the bottom point on the right (valley fold of the second diagonal). Unfold.
All the folds that we have just made cross in the center of the sheet.

6. Bring, through a valley fold, the tip of the top of the leaf to the center of the leaf.
We obtain an orange (rough) triangle with, towards the top, two vertices joined by a hinge edge and, towards the bottom, a vertex (a point) arriving at the center of the leaf.

7. Flip the sheet from right to left.
The triangle is no longer visible. You get a five-sided, orange (rough) shape, with the top edge being a hinge fold. From this hinge edge leave, to the left and right, two short sides, followed by two long sides, further on, joining to form the lower point.

8. Bring, through a valley fold, the top hinge edge onto the fold which joins the two right and left corners of the sheet.
Be careful not to bend the orange (rough) triangle, which reappears in its entirety. It partially hides a small white (smooth) trapezoid bordered at the top and bottom by two hinge folds and with two oblique sides of single thickness. Below, the shape of fold 7 reappears.

9. Bring, using a movement from right to left, the right point to the lower left vertex of the triangle. You get a white (smooth) four-sided flap. Unfold.
You have created a vertical valley fold, starting at the intersection of the right side of the triangle and the top hinge fold. You will do the same operation from the left side.

10. Bring, using a movement from left to right, the left point to the lower right vertex of the triangle. You get a white (smooth) four-sided flap. Unfold.
You have created a vertical valley fold, starting at the intersection of the left side of the triangle and the top hinge fold.

Now comes a delicate passage to take good care of. You will use the two vertical valley folds created in step [9] and step [10]. Two oblique folds will be created to allow the creation of the future ears.

11. Bring the right side vertical, with a movement from right to left using the fold from step 10.
At the very top of the flap that you have just folded, a sort of pocket is formed which you will widen by sliding a finger inside.

12. While keeping the side vertical, spread the pocket, creating an oblique fold, starting from the middle of the hinge side of the triangle, and going towards the intersection between the right side of the orange (rough) triangle and the top of the hinge fold. While creating this oblique fold, push so that the right side of the orange (rough) triangle meets the vertex of the same triangle.

13. While holding the small triangle you have just formed flat, let the large flap swing to the left, so that the corner of the shape joins the horizontal fold which leads to the left point. You get a white (smooth) quadrilateral whose top vertex overlaps the vertex of the orange (rough) triangle.

14. Create a vertical fold passing through the upper vertex of the quadrilateral, by tilting, from left to right, the upper right white (smooth) flap so that its left edge corresponds to the right side of the upper white (smooth) vertex.
You get a new orange (rough) triangle, with a vertical hinge crease and two oblique sides joining at a vertex to the right.We will now perform the same sequence of folds on the left side.

15. Bring the left side vertical, with a movement from left to right using the fold from step 10. At the very top of the flap that you have just folded, a sort of pocket is formed which you will widen by sliding a finger inside.

16. While keeping the side vertical, spread the pocket, creating an oblique fold, starting from the middle of the hinge side of the triangle, and going towards the intersection between the left side of the orange (rough) triangle and the top of the hinge fold. While creating this oblique fold, push so that the left side of the orange (rough) triangle joins the vertex of the same triangle. While holding the small triangle you have just formed flat, let the large flap swing to the right, so that the corner of the shape joins the horizontal fold which leads to the right point. You get a white (smooth) quadrilateral whose top vertex overlaps the vertex of the orange (rough) triangle.

17. Create a vertical fold passing through the upper vertex of the quadrilateral, by tilting, from left to right, the upper right white (smooth) pane1 so that its left edge corresponds to the right side of the upper white (smooth) vertex.
You get a new orange (rough) triangle with a vertical hinge crease and two oblique sides joining at a vertex to the left. You can spot, going from bottom to top, a small orange (rough) square bordered on the left and right by two small white (smooth) triangles which also border a large orange (rough) square. If you hold the two orange (rough) triangles together vertically, you see a six-sided shape. At the bottom, an orange (rough) point of simple thickness, from which two white (smooth) trapezoids bordered by vertical hinge folds, which join at the top, forming a new point on two oblique sides. Lower the two triangles again, which will protrude from each side of this elongated shape.

18. Flip the fold from right to left.
You get a symmetrical vertical shape, having a central vertical valley fold, joining the top vertex with the bottom vertex. In the center, starting from the bottom, you find a point formed by two sides of single thickness. Then on each side you find a vertical hinge fold. These two folds are joined, upwards, by a horizontal hinge fold. Above this hinge fold, you will find a triangle of simple thickness, which hides two points. These points are part of the hinge folds of the two triangles that protrude from either side of the shape. Note the vertical valley fold that joins the top peak to the bottom peak.

19. Using a left to right movement, fold the shape in half using the vertical valley fold.
Looking at the fold, you find, from the top, a large triangle with one vertex on the right. The other two vertices of the triangle are connected by a vertical hinge fold. Switch the triangle from right to left, using its hinge fold. Find, below, a white (smooth) shape with four sides of complex structure. Flip the right side of this shape to the left using the valley fold that extends from the top. You find the complex structure shape of step 16 masking part of the white (smooth) triangles. Close the shape from left to right to return to the start of the analysis. Notice, at the very top, a set of three points one on top of the other. A first point of complex structure, a second point of simple structure behind, finally, a third point identical to the first. These tips will form the fox's head.


Folding of the head and ears
Here is again a delicate passage of this folding.

20. Gently fold the first tip downwards, through all its layers. The top of the tip aligns with the left edge of the fold. Form a light vertical crease by pulling the tip down as far as possible. Mark the top left of the fold a little strongly to create a reference point. Unfold the tip.

21. Open the tip by putting a finger inside at the height of the mark. While holding the bottom of the orange (rough) triangle flat, tilt the tip side so that a crease is formed. This fold, parallel to the edge of the triangle, will allow the lower corner of the triangle to come to the point of intersection between the orange (rough) triangle and the white (smooth) part at the end of the fold. Mark the fold well.
When creating this fold, the tip opens and tilts downward.

22. By placing a finger inside the central point, open it by making a fold through all the layers, along the fold you have just made.
The first point is now flat at the top left of the fold.

23. Return to the starting position, the large orange (rough) triangle flat.

24. Flip the fold from right to left.
You will repeat the operations from step [20] to step [23], symmetrically on the orange (rough) triangle, which goes to the left.

25. Gently fold the first tip downwards, through all its layers. The top of the tip aligns with the right edge of the fold. Form a light vertical crease by pulling the tip down as far as possible. Mark the top right of the fold a little strongly to create a reference point. Unfold the tip.

26. Open the tip by putting a finger inside at the height of the mark. While holding the bottom of the orange (rough) triangle flat, tilt the tip side to the right so that a crease is formed. This fold, parallel to the edge of the triangle, will allow the lower corner of the triangle to come to the point of intersection between the orange triangle (rough) and the white part (smooth) at the end of the fold. Mark the fold well.
When creating this fold, the tip opens and tilts downward.

27. Putting a finger inside the central point, open it by making a fold to the right, through all the layers, along the fold you have just made. Keep one finger pressed to hold the central white (smooth) tip open.
The first orange (rough) point is now at the very top of the fold. The third orange (rough) point is now flat at the top right of the fold. A white (smooth) part, which will make up the future head, separates the two orange (rough) tips.

28. Holding the central part flat, create a fold on the white part. This crease goes from the bottom left corner of the white (smooth) part to the inner thick tip.
A small orange (rough) triangle appears, which partially covers the white (smooth) interior part of the future head.

29. Lift the edge to be able to fold the corner of the orange (rough) triangle which protrudes along the edge. Put everything back down.
You have formed the left leg of the animal.

30. While keeping the assembly closed, lift the folding to be able to fold the upper part against the folding.
The head begins to appear on the left, topped by the two ears. The whole thing is orange (rough) in color.

31. Flip the fold from left to right.
You will repeat fold [28] and fold [29] to form the second leg.

32. Holding the central part flat, create a fold on the white part. This crease goes from the bottom left corner of the white (smooth) part to the inner thick tip.
A small orange (rough) triangle appears.

33. Lift the edge to be able to fold the corner of the orange triangle (rough) which protrudes along the edge. Put everything back down.
You have formed the right leg of the animal.


Tail formation

Hold the folding in an upright position, head and ears facing upwards, paws pointing to the left. Starting at the bottom, you find an orange (rough) triangle with a hinge fold on the right, topped by a white (smooth) triangle with a hinge fold on the left. This triangle is closed by the edge of the orange (rough) part of the animal's body.

34. Create an oblique fold by folding the top of the white triangle (smooth), along the bottom of the orange part (rough). Mark strongly. Unfold.

35. Flip the fold from left to right.

36. Fold and unfold the fold created in step 34 several times. Unfold.

37. Holding the head and ears towards you, open the fold to see the orange (rough) interior.
Locate a succession of valley folds. Starting from the left point, it descends towards a valley fold, rises towards a mountain fold, descends towards a valley fold and rises towards the right point. Locate clearly, on the interior mountain fold, the point of arrival of the two valley folds.

38. While holding the fold apart, press on the meeting point of the two valley folds with the mountain fold. Push down lightly.
The entire fold deepens.

39. Transform the mountain fold which starts from the very top point towards the intersection of the oblique valley folds into a valley fold.

40. Close the fold using the two oblique valley folds. The tail appears, erect at 45¡.
It is formed, on both sides, by a small orange triangle (rough) on the left and by a large white triangle (smooth) on the right.

41. Hold the fold horizontally, head and ears to the left, tail to the right. Locate the point of intersection between the animal's back to the right, and the orange part of the tail to the left.

42. Create a vertical fold passing through the intersection point marked or not previously marked, by folding the bottom of the tail along the bottom of the fold.
The tail now goes to the left. It is formed of a point materialized by a white (smooth) triangle, and an orange (rough) part delimited by a long side which separates from the white (smooth) part an oblique fold and a small vertical side.

43. Create a vertical fold by bringing the tail so that the small part of the short orange (rough) sides folds over the large orange (rough) edge of the kitchen

44. Shape the head and ears a little by passing a finger inside to open them slightly. Also model the legs and the body to give a little volume to the animal.

And here is a pretty two-tone little fox that can stand up on its own!
