Fold the paper into a hat
For this origami, you will need to use a rectangular piece of paper. If you’re going to use a single-sided colored paper, face the white side downwards. Fold the paper in half as illustrated below. Crease it well and unfold.
The next step is to fold the paper downwards in half.
Diagonally fold along the dashed lines as illustrated above.
There will be extra flaps on the bottom side of the paper. Fold the front and back flaps upward.
Bring the left and right corners together.
Gently pull the origami paper apart
Gently bring the two corners together.
Fold the top layer upwards in half. Repeat the step at the back.
Gently pull the sides together and flatten.
Pull apart the top parts of the model outward, making a boat shape.
Good, this is what your origami paper should look like as you begin to pull it apart. Time for the last set of steps!
Shape the paper into an origami snapper
Tuck the triangle on one side. Bring the left and right corners inward, then pull the sides apart.
Keep bringing the left and right corners inward till it forms a mouth.
Lastly, draw the eyes of your snapper. You may draw the eyes in any way you like or you may trace along the dotted line as illustrated above. Or even better, you can use googly eyes and glue.
