Make an origami Easter bunny

Follow along as Sara Adams demonstrates how to fold a little origami rabbit right here. The bunny is designed by Jun Maekawa. I have no idea how a person picks up a sheet of paper and figures out how to fold a three-dimensional rabbit from it. Amazing.

    Amazing, indeed! It must take a special 'eye' or something! One that I sure don't have!

    Lovely rabbit!!
    I too used to wonder how people could create something just by folding a piece of paper.
    As I have practiced it, I find that origami is a bit like music or like painting. We learn the basics notes or color combinations, and little by little we start to add "vocabulary" until one day we are able to do something on our own.

    One year, I got my daughter (then around 10 years old) a Klutz origami book as backseat entertainment for a long trip. She loved it, and the car was soon overtaken by numerous paper critters -- including a rabbit that kept sliding off the dashboard, earning the moniker, "the suicidal bunny."

    I've been waiting for you to post an origami bunny for Easter! This looks like a challenge but worth it! I mean, check out the little bunny hands! I'm linking you up to my blog. Hope you don't mind.

    Funny cause my daughter and i were just wondering the same thing---how do people imagine these things up?
