I took some time to create the instructions for this one:

Read on for the full instructions.
Click on the images to enlarge.
Start with a square piece of an appropriately pink paper, and fold it in the middle. | |
![]() |
Fold two more folds to divide the paper to vertical quarters. |
![]() |
On each side of the two new mountain folds, fold to the inside, creating 90 degrees triangles. |
![]() |
Do so for both sides. After you finish, it should look like this (but a little less fuzzy :). |
![]() |
After the last fold, we created four flaps. These will be the legs, fold them the other direction, as shown. |
![]() |
For each of the four future legs – fold up, unfold, and fold down and unfold again. In the picture you can see two legs – one is folded up, and the other down. |
![]() |
After the pre-creasing of the previous step, pinch flap to create the lag. Use the pre-creases to give it shape. This is very similar to the legs of the origami bug. |
![]() |
After preparing all four legs, it should look like this. (Again, less fuzzy :). |
![]() |
Open up in the middle, and fold inside. |
![]() |
Close, and fold inside the other side to create the shape of the head. |
![]() |
Reverse fold the soon-to-be tail. |
![]() |
Reverse fold the tail again, so it ‘sticks’ outside of the body. |
![]() |
Fold the top edges of the body inside, in stick them inside the space created by the tail fold. |
![]() |
Fold the rest of the upper part of the body to give it shape. |
![]() |
And there you have it. |
