How to Fold Squirrel Origami 
If you are wondering how to fold a squirrel, this article will provide you with some useful tips. To start off, you should make the top and bottom corners of the opposite end of the paper inwards. Next, make two right triangles on the corner adjacent to the bottom and top corners. Repeat these steps until you have a complete squirrel! You can then reverse fold the legs and feet to make the feet. Similarly, you should do the same with the body to make the head.
Zulay Newell’s origami red squirrel
The RSOP Red Squirrel Origami design makes folding a paper red squirrel easy, even for the youngest crafter. The design is easy enough for children and adults to learn, and the instructions are available as a video tutorial or leaflet. The red squirrel can be a wonderful gift to share with friends and family, or it can be used to spread awareness of red squirrels and red squirrel conservation. The project is supported by the Sefton Borough of Culture 2020 (the Liverpool City Region’s borough of culture in 2020). The Lancashire Wildlife Trust and the Sefton Borough of Culture are among the organizations that are supporting this project, which raises awareness about the red squirrel.
Origami has become a popular hobby among children and adults alike. Zulay Newell, an origamist and wildlife enthusiast, regularly sees red squirrels in Formby, an area where they are considered an important stronghold. As a result, the project was founded in the hope of preserving the species. The team is committed to spreading awareness of the red squirrel and creating origami pieces to help the species thrive.
Shafer’s love of origami
The Flying Squirrel origami model is similar to the one designed by Gen Hagiwara. Although similar, the Flying Squirrel is a bit more unusual than most other origami models. Shafer owes his love of squirrel origami to his own father. Shafer created his origami models while in elementary school, and the result is an intriguing, beautiful and original creation.
The love of squirrel origami is one of the many reasons he decided to make such an unusual craft. A friend of his shared an interest in squirrels, so he began folding them. This hobby soon turned into an obsession. While the process took a long time, he was determined to set a new world record. Shafer was determined to become the first person to ever make a squirrel out of ten maple leaves and a dove, and he succeeded! But he did not get a chance to display his origami creations until he was nearly sixty.
Reverse fold legs to create feet
For a simple squirrel, all you need to do is fold the two sides of the paper inwards from the corner. Then, fold the top and bottom edges inward to create a triangle. The center point of the triangle will be centered along the middle crease. Next, add the body, eyes, and nose to finish the origami. After all these steps, you can enjoy your newly created origami squirrel.
To make the legs of the squirrel, lay the hand towel flat. Roll it to the center and then fold in half. Then, with one hand, grasp the tips on the other roll and pull them together. This will form four legs. Now, add a pipe cleaner across the top of the washcloth. Place it diagonally over one corner. Repeat the procedure until you have four legs. Once you’ve finished, you can add arms and tail.
Tips to make folds for origami
The first step in making your squirrel origami is to fold the paper into a triangle. Start by folding one side of the square into half and then cut along the fold. Next, unfold the triangle and fold the other half in half again. This way, the two sides will be the body and the tail. The long end of the square should be folded down perpendicular to the body and creased. The point that is formed will be the head of the squirrel.
Then, fold the top and bottom corners of the paper inward, and the other corner into half. This will make two right triangles. Repeat the steps two more times until the paper is the right size. Once your paper is cut, you can add the eyes and nose to make your squirrel look real. Once the head is done, press the tip of the back of the paper inward. The nose is a final detail to finish the origami.
