Directions

1. Fold the square into a triangle along the line bisecting the heart so that the bottom of the heart points upwards.

2. Take the topmost piece of the triangle and fold it in half pointing downwards.

3. Next, take the left and right corners and fold them up creating a smaller square shape. The two black dots that are the fox's eyes should end up facing you.

4. Take the left side piece and fold the top down so that it covers the dot. This will be the left ear. Take the right side and repeat the same process for the right ear.

5. At the bottom of each ear near the fold you just made, tuck each ear into the "pocket" behind them. This may require re-folding the creases of the ears.

6. Now, attach the tail to the body using tape or glue. The tail should be attached underneath the body.
