How To Fold An Origami Spider

Step 43: Re-fold the top flap back down.

Step 44: It's time to start forming the spiders legs. Fold the top-most flap from the right side, diagonally up to the right.

Step 45: Repeat the same on the left side. To make the origami spider more realistic, you can make the legs different on the left and right sides.

Step 46: Next lift two layers of paper up and fold them diagonally outwards to make the second set of legs.

Step 47: Again lift two layers of paper up and fold them diagonally outwards to make the third set of legs.

Step 48: Flip the paper over to the other side.

Step 49: Fold the "head" of our origami spider under.

Step 50: Flip the spider back onto the back.

Step 51: Fold the final set of legs outwards.

Step 52: Let's rotate the origami spider so that the head is at the top.

Step 53: Create knee joints in the first set of legs by folding the legs downwards.

Step 54: Repeat on the second set of legs.

Step 55: For the third set of legs, fold them upwards.

Step 56: And finally fold the last set of legs upwards as well.

Step 57: Flip the spider over to the other side.

Step 58: You can fold the triangular flap inside to hide it.

Step 59: You can create a point for the spiders tail by folding the flap underneath.

Step 60: Lastly, you can create some pincers by making a small cut as shown and folding the two pincers outwards.

Step 61: The origami spider is complete! You could also draw or stick on a pair of eyes.
