Crafting an Origami Dachshund Requires Patience and Skill. Begin by folding a square paper into a long strip, then fold it in half lengthwise to create a crease that will guide your next folds. Next, fold the top right corner down so it meets the middle crease, followed by the top left corner folding down to meet the middle crease as well. Now, fold the bottom right and left corners up to meet the middle crease, making sure they are even with each other. After that, you'll want to fold the top half of the paper down along the middle crease, then unfold it back up to lay flat. Turn the paper over and repeat the process on the other side by folding the bottom half up along the middle crease. Unfold it back down to flatten out your work. Now that you have a solid foundation, fold the top layer of the dachshund's body in half lengthwise to create a pleat, then unfold it back out. Take the top layer and fold it back, creating another pleat at the same spot where you created the first one. Continue this process until your paper is folded into neat, even pleats. Once you've completed the pleating, use a small piece of tape to hold the pleats in place. Next, create the dachshund's head by folding a small triangle on top of its body and securing it with a small piece of tape. Finally, add ears to your origami dachshund by folding two small triangles from the sides of its head and securing them with tape. Add eyes using black markers or other embellishments to bring your creation to life. With patience and practice, you'll be able to craft an adorable origami dachshund that will delight friends and family alike.
