Full Disclosure:
This origami tutorial drew inspiration from this tutorial. I adopted the directions by losing the cool zig-zag hair and adding ears. So if you want to try another version of Frankenstein origami, definitely check those directions out.
Let's Fold!
Step 1:Grab a sheet of Origami Paper. Fold it along its diagonal like this.
Step 2:
Open the paper up and fold it like this. (You've now created Frankenstein's furrowed brow.)
Step 3:
Now we're creating the monster's hair.
Fold the top portion of your paper down so it touches the crease like so:
Step 4:
Undo the fold.
Then fold the top tip down to the crease made in the previous step.
Step 5:
Fold the paper down along the crease made in step 3.
You've now finished the hair!
Step 6:
Now we're going to fold the ears.
Flip your origami over.
Then fold over both sides like so to create the sides of the face.
Step 7:
Then, lift up your sides and fold them out like so:
When you flip your paper over you should see this:
Step 8:
Now fold both left and right sides back to create ears.
Also, fold the bottom corner up to create a chin.
Grab your drawing supplies (we used Black Sharpie and a black Kwik Stix) to draw the face.
And that's it!
