Origami Chair

This origami chair is a cute one for kids. It is fairly easy but younger kids may need the help of a parent or adult to fold it. You may also want to fold an origami table to complement your origami chairs.

Origami Chair Step 1: Start with a 6 inch (15cm) square origami paper, color side down.

Origami Chair Step 2: Fold it in half on the vertical axis. Crease well and unfold.

Origami Chair Step 3: Now fold both the right and left sides to meet the center crease. Crease well and unfold.

Origami Chair Step 4: You should see that the paper is divided into 4 sections. Use a scissors and cut of one section. We will work with the remaining 3 sections only.

Origami Chair Step 5: Fold the paper in half along the horizontal axis, bringing the top edge down to line up with the bottom edge. Crease well.

Origami Chair Step 6: Fold the top right corner to meet the 1st vertical vertical line. Crease well.

Origami Chair Step 7: Repeat for the left corner.

Origami Chair Step 8: We now need to do a squash fold. Starting with the right corner, unfold the crease you just made. Open the paper slightly and then squash it down to form a triangle.

Origami Chair Step 9: Repeat and make a squash fold on the left side.

Origami Chair Step 10: Now fold the center flap up to meet the top edge.

Origami Chair Step 11: Fold the right side over to the left. Crease well and unfold.

Origami Chair Step 12: Fold the left side over to the right. Crease well and unfold.

Origami Chair Step 13: Your origami chair is taking shape and can now stand on its own!

Origami Chair Step 14: Now bring the seat down.

and your origami chair is complete!
