Tiny Cat Face Ring

Use a 7.5 cm square of paper. A light color makes the drawn face easier to see.

Divide the square into eight equal horizontal strips by repeated folding and unfolding.

Fold the uppermost strip downward along its crease.

Turn the paper over. Fold it vertically in half and open it to locate the center line.

Bring the two upper corners toward the center to make a pointed top.

Turn the model to its smooth side, keeping the point facing upward.

Fold the upper point downward along the indicated horizontal crease.

Turn the paper over again to expose the small layered tabs.

Gently open one small upper pocket without unfolding the lower band creases.

Press the pocket upward and flatten it into the pointed ear shape. Repeat on the other side.

Fold the small triangular tabs on both sides to define two upright ears.

Fold the lower paper upward one strip at a time along the existing creases, leaving the cat face visible in the middle.

Tuck the lower point of the face behind to form a short, flat chin.

Turn to the front, draw eyes, a nose, and whiskers, then wrap the band into a comfortable ring. Glue the overlap and let it dry.
