|                               How to Make an Origami Reindeer               Dec 21st 2012, 20:00                                   This origami reindeer is a simple design, and can be attempted by a paper folder of any level. It's great for using up unwanted murky brown origami paper, and it can make for a creative Christmas decoration!       -  Start with a square sheet of paper.  
 -  Fold it across one diagonal.  
 -  Unfold it again.  
 -  Fold one side of the square to meet the line made by the diagonal fold.  
 -  Repeat this for the adjacent side of the square.  
 -  Repeat the previous two steps for the remaining sides of the square without unfolding anything.  
 -  Fold it in half, from point to point, as shown, and then unfold it.  
 -  Put your finger in one of the flaps.  
 -  Pull out the point, using the previous fold as a template, and press it down.  
 - Repeat the previous two steps for the other flap.  
 -  Fold it in half along its length as shown.  
 -  Pull the point that the flaps point towards back into the middle in a reverse fold. Flatten it down to construct the neck.  
 -  Fold both of the flaps back as shown. These are your reindeer's front legs.  
 -  Make a reverse fold at the top of the neck, beginning the formation of the head.  
 -  Unfold the head as shown.  
 -  Fold the point underneath to make the nose more flat.  
 -  Fold the top of the head in half over to the opposite side as shown.  
 -  Make a reverse fold and flatten as shown to create the beginnings of the hind legs.  
 -  Make another reverse fold about half way down the hind legs and flatten it to see the fully formed hind legs.  
 -  Cut up the back of the neck as shown, without actually completely cutting off any part of the reindeer.  
 -  Split the middle of this flap right up the back of the reindeer's neck. You'll end up with four little prongs.  
 -  Fold the prongs upwards to form antlers and complete the reindeer.  
 -  Done.  
      - Use specialised origami paper for a professional look, with brown on one side and white on the other.  
 - If you are making this during the Christmas season, perhaps you could think about adding a red nose and making Rudolph.  
     Edit Warnings   - Be careful with scissors, and if you are a child, get parental supervision.
