African Elephant [pdf]

This is a set of instructions to fold an origami elephant from a single square. The document consists of nine pages and seventy-six illustrations. Since this is an advanced origami project, prior experience with folding paper is recommended.

This work started out as a multi-piece design, so it could be folded quickly for an advertising campaign. It was then converted so it could be made from a single square. Because of the many pleats in the head to body joint, this model still has the look and feel of being formed from two sheets.
