Love it.. so cute.. you may have even recently spotted the Origami Paddington Bear we made based on this pattern. Love. Also… once you have made your origami bears.. why not head into the kitchen make these ridiculously cute and easy Bear Paw Cookies?!

To make your easy Origami Bear you will need

Learn how to make an origami Paddington Bear by watching the origami instruction video on auto play. It really is very simple. I promise. And the video is a super quick and easy tutorial to follow! But of course you can follow the step by step instructions below!

Shape the bear’s ears

Create a diagonal fold

Begin by folding the square piece of paper across the diagonal to make a triangle.

Make a guide line fold down the centre of the triangle (top right)

Approximately 1/3 of the way along from the guidline fold down the right hand corner (bottom left)

And then fold back up (bottom right).

This is the basic position of one ear. Watch the video for additional info about the angles and how that shapes your bear’s features.

Repeat for the left hand corner.

Continue to shape the back of the head

Shape the back of the head

Now fold down the right tip. (Top right)

And repeat for the left tip.

Then shape the top bits of the head (bottom left).

The back of your head should look like the bottom right image.

Shape the bear’s nose/ mouth

Shape the bear mouth

Filp your origami paper over and now shape the bear’s nose and mouth by folding over one flap (top left).

Tuck the top of the flap in (top right).

Now you have a choice of shaping the bear’s face. You can either tuck the chin in a little (bottom left)…

… or fold it over completely (bottom right).

Add the finishing touches with a marker
