Standing Paper Cat

Prepare a rectangle measuring 7.5 × 15 cm.

Fold lengthwise in half and press the crease.

Fold the strip’s upper-right corner inward along the edge.

Unfold and fold the lower-right corner along the matching diagonal to make an arrow-shaped point.

Mark a vertical crease near the right end.

Make two horizontal creases parallel to the red centerline.

Fold back and forth along the dotted lines to make a long accordion strip.

Bring the layers inward along the creases.

Arrange the triangular section and fold along the dotted line. Repeat on the back.

Press the right triangular section over to the left.

Press the joint beneath the head as pictured.

Fold the triangular sides of the head upward, bringing the dotted line to the red line to form the two ears.

Press the ear folds inward, then fold inward along the next dotted line.

Arrange the face so the two ears are symmetrical.

Pinch the joint between the head and body to shape the neck and chest.

Fold the long lower strip to form the cat’s body.

Pinch the lower body inward and shape the legs so the cat can stand.
