• Single-sided sheet of paper 10.5 x 15 cm orange
• Double-sided sheet of paper 10.5 x 7.5 cm green

Step-by-step photo lesson:

To create a carrot, take an orange sheet of paper 10.5 x 15 cm, colored only on one side. Bend the lower left corner to the very top point of the rectangle.

Use scissors to remove the unnecessary part of the rectangle on the right side and get a square folded in half diagonally.

Let's open it. Fold the lower left corner to the resulting fold.

Then bend the upper right corner to the same line. Gradually the general shape of the carrot begins to emerge.

To make the top of the carrot not sharp, but blunt, bend the upper central corner down to the line of the beginning of the two large corners.

Then we will form a smoother silhouette of the carrot. To do this, bend the left corner slightly towards the middle.

The same must be done on the right side so that they are the same.

We turn it over and get the finished general silhouette of a carrot. If necessary, you can go over the folds again.

Now let's start creating the green pods coming from the top of the carrot. To do this, you need to take a green rectangle and bend its lower left corner up.

Cut out the right side with scissors.

We get a square folded in half. Turn it over.

Bend in half.

We open it and a vertical line appears in the very middle from the lower central corner to the very top point.

Bend the left corner to the resulting line.

Glue the greens to the top of the carrot from the back side. The paper origami carrot is ready.

2. Now use a knife to make a mouth and teeth: make one long horizontal notch and many short vertical ones, located perpendicular to the long one. Also make one eye (it may look like a groove in the form of a circle with a bump in the middle).

3. Now do the headdress and hair. Cut the balloon and pull it onto the carrot on top. Under such an improvised cap, secure the hair, which will be made from threads or corn silks. In the same way, fasten the eye patch cut out of colored paper.
