Whats better than enjoying a delicious ice cream cone on a hot summer day? A calorie-free ice cream cone that can be enjoyed all year round, and you can also use it as a decoration for birthdays, parties, and more .
The origami ice cream cone is completed from a single square piece of paper, both sides of the paper will show up in the finished piece, so paper that is tan or brown on one side and white on the other is ideal. You can also use drawings with striped or cubic geometric patterns!~
1. The origami ice cream cone starts with a kite base. This is a common basic form of origami used to make models such as origami ghosts and origami swans. It is often the first form children learn when they begin the art of origami.
To make the kite base, start with the white side of the paper facing up. Fold the paper in half along one of the diagonals to form a large triangle. Expand. Fold the left and right corners to the middle crease.
2. Fold the two middle corners to the lower left and lower right respectively, as shown in the picture after completion.
3. Fold the part beyond the edge that was folded in the previous step to the back of the paper.
4. Turn the paper over. Fold the left and right corners to the center vertical crease.
5. Fold the top of the paper down, then up. Make the second fold in the same way.
6. Turn the paper over. If you're using solid-colored paper, line the tan or brown sections so they resemble an ice cream cone. If desired, you can also use crayons, markers, colored pencils, etc. to create chocolate on the ice cream cones.
Your origami ice cream cone can be used as a birthday card or party invitation, or you can string several ice cream cones together to make a party garland...
