Material
Prepare a piece of 15×15 cm square paper with different colors on each side to create a cute 11×10 cm origami Easter egg.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Place the paper with the desired display side face up to begin folding. Fold it in half vertically, leaving a crease, and unfold it.
Step 2
Fold the top left and right edges to align with the center vertical crease.
Step 3
Fold the bottom corner upwards along the black dotted line, ensuring it slightly crosses the bottom edge of the top triangle.
Step 4
Fold down the top corner along the black dotted line to meet the top corner of the small triangle at the bottom.
Step 5
Fold these four corners a little to shape the egg to be “rounder”.
Step 6
Fold the paper in half vertically, leave a crease, and unfold it, then turn the paper over from left to right; that’s your Easter egg.
