Gingerbread Man [pdf]

This is a set of instructions to fold an origami Gingerbread Man from three squares. The document consists of six pages and fifty-eight illustrations. Although this is a simple origami project, prior experience with reading origami diagrams is recommended.

A novice in origami commissioned this work, so steps were taken to simplify the folding process. Three squares are used, vastly reducing the complexity of each component. Only simple valley and mountain folds are used in the folding sequence. The early steps of the body segments inspired a flower model by origami artist Gay Gross.
