ORIGAMI RABBIT

I've spend a lot of time designing the paper pattern for this model,
because it was hard to make it look realistic.

                                                    Step 1:
                                                    The backside of the paper is completely white.
                                                    Prefold over these 4 lines.




                                                    Step 2:
                                                   Make a valley-fold over these 4 lines.






                                                    Step 3:
                                                    Turn the model.






                                                    Step 4:
                                                    First, make a valley-fold over the 2 lines at the bottom-right.
                                                    Then, make a mountain-fold over the 2 lines in the middle.
                                                    And make a valley-fold over the 2 lines at the top-left.




                                                Step 5:
                                                    Pull the piece indicated by the arrow upwards by
                                                    making a valley-fold over the green line.

                                                    Step 6:
                                                    Hold the piece between two fingers, see large arrows.
                                                    Then, press this piece flat from above with your other
                                                    hand, see small arrow.

                                                    Step 7:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.






                                                    Step 8:
                                                    Unfold the folds of step 7.



                                                    Step 9:
                                                    Pull the edge indicated by the arrow downwards by
                                                    making a valley-fold over the green line.


                                                    Step 10:
                                                    Press the edges indicated by the arrows flat from above.






                                                    Step 11:
                                                    Fold the triangular piece below the green line upwards
                                                    by making a valley-fold over this line.





                                                    Step 12:
                                                    Repeat steps 6 to 11 on the other 3 loose pieces.



                                                   Step 13:
                                                   Pull the 2 ends at the bottom of the arrows outwards,
                                                    in the direction of these arrows.




                                                   Step 14:
                                                   Fold the triangular piece above the green line to the
                                                    inside of the model by making a mountain-fold over
                                                    this line.

                                                   Step 15:
                                                   Push the 2 ends towards each other again, see arrows.






                                                   Step 16:
                                                   Repeat steps 13 to 15 on the other 3 same places
                                                    of the model.





                                                    Step 17:
                                                    Push or pull the piece on the left and right of the green line
                                                    upwards by making a valley-fold over this line.





                                                    Step 18:
                                                    Pull the upper layer of paper loose from the rest of the
                                                    model. Start pulling at the bottom of the edges, see
                                                    arrows.



                                                    Step 19:
                                                    Make a valley-fold over these (prefolded) lines.

                                                    Now you've made an extra end.
                                                    Fold this end upwards by making a valley-fold
                                                    over the green line.

                                                    Repeat steps 17 to 20 on the other 3 same places
                                                    of the model.



                                                    Step 22:
                                                    Fold 2 flaps on the right of the green line to the left
                                                    by making valley-folds over this line.

                                                    Step 23:
                                                    Valley-fold over this line.





                                                    Step 24:

                                                    mountain-folds over these lines. These lines are prefolded
                                                    in step 25.

                                                    Step 28:
                                                    Press the model inwards from aside, see arrows.

                                                    No new folding lines have to be made to do this.



                                                    Step 29:
                                                    Now the model has the same shape as in step 25 again,
                                                    but the top is folded downwards.
