The directions for this cat came from the book Horrorgami.  I'm definitely an origami newbie, so I wasn't able to do as many of the crafts as I would have liked.  But if you love folding paper, this book has a ton of great Halloween-inspired origami.

Ok.  Onto the cat craft!

Materials

• Origami paper
• Glue stick
• Marker
• Scissors

How to Fold an Origami Black Cat

First we're going to make the cat's body.

1.  Fold a square diagonally in half, exposing the white underside of the paper.

2.  Fold down the top corner of the triangle to meet the bottom edge.

3.  Fold the triangle in half, bringing the left corner of the triangle underneath to meet the right corner.

4.  Pull the flap of paper down, so that the side meets the bottom edge of the triangle, to create a sideways star-trek looking sign.

5.  Rotate it.  Fold up the two bottom corners to create feet.  Now you've made the cat's body.  Put it aside.



Now we're going to make the cat's face.

1.  Fold your second sheet of paper diagonally in half.
2.   Fold it in half again.
3.  Open up your previous fold from step 2.
4.  Fold the top point of your triangle down to the bottom edge of the triangle.

5.  Unfold it, creating a fold.
6.  Fold the bottom edge of the triangle up, meeting the fold previously created in step 6
7.  Then, unfold it, creating another fold.
8.  Fold the triangle in half, letting the right and left corners touch.

9.  Fold the right corner of your triangle up to meet the lower crease made in step 7.
10.  Place a finger inside of the folded triangle.  Then, carefully push that top layer of the triangle down with one hand.

11.  Use your other hand to carefully push down the corner that's  popping up.
12.  Rotate it  Then, fold the middle point underneath to create a cat face.
13.  Glue your two pieces of paper (head and body) together.
14.  Glue on the eyes and bow tie!

Cute right?
