Step 2Make a Pattern
Decide what shape you want to make. The possibilities are endless so flex your creative muscle! Just keep in mind that sharp edges, corners, or turns are much more difficult than gentle curves. Keep it simple for your first one, then expand to more ambitious shapes.
If you are going for symmetry, fold your piece of paper in half and draw out half of your intended shape.
Cut it out and unfold to look at your pattern. If you are unhappy, repeat the process, tracing the bits you like and re-drafting the bits you don't.
Tip:
It may help if you sketch out your ideas first. Try different features and proportions to decide what sort of look you are going for.
