Origami Popper Folding Instructions

Origami Popper Step 1: Start with a rectangular piece of paper (printer paper will work well for this). Crease the paper along the centerlines as shown below.

Origami Popper Step 2: Now fold all four corners to the centerline as shown. Then fold the popper in half lengthwise.

Origami Popper Step 3: Next fold the left and right sides to meet the center crease as shown in the photo below.

Origami Popper Step 4: FLIP paper over. Fold the left edge over to the right side and the origami popper (banger) is complete!

Origami Popper Step 5: To make it pop, hold it as shown, then raise it over your head, and swing your arm down suddenly. A flap will pop out and make the noise. You can tuck it back and repeat.

Here's a video of the origami popper in action:
