Step-by-Step Guide to Make an Origami Duck
#### Materials Needed:
1. Square sheet of yellow paper (origami paper)
2. Black marker or small black beads for the eyes
3. Orange paper or marker for the beak (optional)
#### Instructions:
#####
1. Start with a Square Sheet of Paper
- Begin with a square sheet of yellow paper. If you don't have origami paper, fold a rectangular sheet diagonally to form a square and trim the excess.
#####
2. Fold in Half Diagonally
- Fold the paper diagonally to form a triangle. Crease well and unfold.
- Fold the paper diagonally in the opposite direction to form another triangle. Crease well and unfold.
- You should now have an "X" crease on your paper.
#####
3. Fold in Half Vertically and Horizontally
- Fold the paper in half vertically, then unfold.
- Fold the paper in half horizontally, then unfold.
- You should now have a "+" crease intersecting the "X" crease, forming a grid of smaller squares.
#####
4. Fold Corners to the Center
- Bring each corner of the paper toward the center where the creases intersect. Press down firmly to create a smaller square shape.
#####
5. Flip Over and Repeat
- Flip the paper over and repeat the previous step by bringing each corner to the center. This will create a more defined square shape.
#####
6. Form the Head and Body
- Take one of the top layers of the square and fold it downward to form the head of the duck. Adjust the size of the head as desired.
- Fold the bottom layer upward to form the body of the duck. Ensure that the folds are crisp and even.
#####
7. Create the Wings
- On either side of the body, fold small sections outward to create wings. These can be adjusted to give the duck a more dynamic appearance.
#####
8. Add Details
- Use a black marker or small black beads to add eyes to the head of the duck.
- Cut a small piece of orange paper and glue it to the front of the head to create a beak, or use an orange marker to draw the beak directly onto the paper.
#####
9. Final Adjustments
- Gently adjust the folds to ensure the duck looks balanced and symmetrical.
- Flatten any remaining creases to make the duck look neat and polished.

Final Product
Once completed, your origami duck should resemble the ones shown in the image: a yellow duck with a black eye and an orange beak. You can create multiple ducks to form a cute family or display them as decorations.
