Step 1. Fold the paper in half, making two small squares (mountain fold), then unfold

Step 2. Fold about 1/4" up, to form the collar of the kimono

1/4”

=¼”

Step 3. Fold the collar crease to the center line made in Step 1, then unfold

Step 4. With the printed side of the paper facing up, fold the corners of the

collar to the crease made in Step 3 – it will not make a point

Step 5. With the printed side of the paper facing down, fold the top of the kimono up, about 3/4” above the center fold. The

bottom edge will be about 3/8” wide - just

slightly larger than the collar folded in Step 2.

Step 7. With the collar facing up, fold

each side (both layers) over to meet

the edge of the collar, forming the

sleeves

Step 6. Turn the paper over (so the

collar is face down) and fold the piece

in half

Step 8. Gently open up the top of each sleeve and press it open, forming a triangle

Step 9. Fold the top of the kimono (the bottom of the large triangles) to the back, so the triangles can not be seen from the front

Step 10. Fold the bottom of the kimono

to the back, up under the triangles folded back in Step 9
