Origami Blog: How to Make an Origami Dove

Step 1: Get a square piece of paper and turn it, so it looks like a diamond. Then grab the bottom flap and fold it upwards. It should look like a triangle now. Now fold the right side of the triangle to the left side, then unfold it. Bring the tip of the right side to the top of the triangle. Do same thing to the left side. Now fold each of the sides downwards, so there tips are now on the bottom. Then unfold the piece so it is back to a small diamond.

Step 2: Fold each side of the diamond, so the tips of the left and right side are touching the middle. Now unfold that, so it back to a diamond. Now that there is a crease on the very side of each side do a reverse fold on them. Fold the entire thing in half, so it will look like a trapezoid. On each side of the trapezoid fold on of the flaps downwards making a ninety degree angle on the paper. Fold the part that made the ninety degree angle to the other side now. Fold the top corner of the paper towards both sides. Use the vertical line as a folding area. Now do a reverse fold on that corner folding it inside.

Step 3: Fold the flaps that made a ninety degree angle back to its original side leaving some of it on the side it was still on. On the very bottom of the paper (opposite to the corner that was reverse folded in step three) fold the tip of the corner to the side. Now unfold this, and do a reverse fold on the corner. You are now done with your origami dove.
