How to Make an Origami Rocket_Easy Origami Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Place the paper with the desired display side facing up to begin folding. Fold and unfold it in half horizontally, then vertically.

Step 2

Flip the paper over from left to right.

Step 3

Fold and unfold it in half diagonally from both sides.

Step 4

Mountain fold the left and right creases indicated by the red dotted lines, then push the center point of the left, right, and top edge to meet the bottom edge’s center point. Flatten the fold to get a triangle.

Step 5

Fold the left edge of the top layer to the right side along the dotted line.

Step 6

Fold the top layer on the right to the left side along the middle vertical crease, then fold the left edge of this folded layer to make it align with the layer under it. Mark the crease point on the bottom edge and unfold it.

Step 7

Fold the top layer on the left side to the right side along the vertical crease, then fold its right edge along the dotted line connecting the point you marked in the previous step and the top point of the paper.

Step 8

Flip the paper over from left to right and fold the left and right edges along the dotted lines to align them with the layer below.

Step 9

Rotate the paper 90 degrees from front to back, then bring the upper two layers together on the top and the lower two layers together on the bottom. Rotate it 90 degrees clockwise, then another 90 degrees from back to front to lay it flat.

Step 10

Fold the left and right corners of the triangle along the black dotted lines, leaving two creases, and unfold them.

Step 11

Turn the paper over from left to right.

Step 12

As you did in step 10, fold the left and right corners of the triangle along the black dotted lines, leaving two creases, and unfold them.

Step 13

Step 14

Fold the crease indicated by the red dotted line to the right side along the black dotted line, leaving a crease, and unfold it.

Step 15

Take the same crease indicated by the red dotted line and fold it to align with the crease you made in the previous step. Finally, fold the quadrilateral to the left.

Step 16

Fold the crease indicated by the red dotted line to the left side along the black dotted line, leaving a crease, and unfold it.

Step 17

Take the same crease indicated by the red dotted line and fold it to align with the crease you made in the previous step. Finally, fold the quadrilateral to the right.
