Step 1) Gather all of your materials. 

Step 2) Fold your paper in half diagonally. Try to match the corners as carefully as possible. The dotted lines in the pictures are where you should fold.

Step 3) Lay the triangle flat side down. Fold the right corner to the top of the triangle.

Step 4) Repeat step 3 on the left side.

Step 5) Flip the square over from right to left.

Step 6) Fold the square in half so the folds are to the outside. Rotate the paper so the open piece is at the top.

Step 7) Open the folds and stand the paper up on the table. You may need to adjust it a little bit to get it to stand.

Step 8) Fold the middle fold down to create the fox face. Then add the nose and ear details!
