Guy Fawkes Mask in Origami

Here I show you how to fold a Guy Fawkes mask, like the one worn by V in "V for Vendetta". You will need 2 things:

1) A square of paper, black on one side, white on the other
2) Intermediate origami skill. I won't be covering that here. I recommend Stephen O'Hanlon's online primer: http://www.fishgoth.com/origami/basics1.html

I apologize for the crude hand-drawn figures. Since I vowed to submit the design while it was still in vogue, I needed to work at such a velocity that the validity of the proportions of this handmade "vector art" and the veracity of its virtual scale are vague.

With that said, let's begin!

Step 1 "Step 1" - getting started.

a) Starting with the black side up, make two rabbit ears.
b) This is called the "fish base". Squash fold.
c) Reverse fold out the hidden corner.
d) Repeat b,c, on the left.
e) Valley fold the bottom point up to the tops of the squares.
f) Undo.

"Crude" hand-drawn figures?! Those were anything but crude.

[ladycroft108]

[rowdyrosiepiper]

You sir, must be a mathematical genius to figure out how to fold that. Good work!

[cocteauuk]

Ok, first attempt at origami so I used a pretty large piece of paper 70cmx 70cm unfortunately it was the wrong kind of paper, too thin.

Most difficult part overall was getting the nose right. End result quite far from the one shown in the intro picture.

Anyway, fantastic tutorial thank you!!

I'm stuck after the squares Step 1 part c. Please help, the video didn't.

you pull out the corner that is under the flap, you'll have to bend it a little bit to see the flap.

[Kokkan]

How big should the paper square be so I could wear it?

[zachtorch]

[wearingpink]

This is a really good model. The shaping at the end is pretty tedious though, especially with small paper. But overall, awesome.

[zachary00001]

[ninjacow258]

whoa...I followed until when you started on the eyes...after that it was all a blur ...o.,O...... But really good creation though. In the end I got something that looked similar to your example. Sort of.

[yokozuna]

If you make someone's project, you should always post a picture of your version of it in their comments... at least I feel that way. It does a couple of things- 1. )shows other people that the instructions are able to be followed, as well as 2.) points out potential problems or improvements to the author and community. So post a pic, your ninja honor demands it! :)

[Mr.NHRA]

Ninjas unite! I just want to say one thing, wheres your pic? if you werent going to post one then you should have said you didnt make the project like im about to. I didnt make the project but it sure is great!

[skidude28]
