  Step 1

  Choose a pattern for your coat. Flip the paper over. Then fold the paper in half, from left to right. Crease firmly, then unfold.

• 

  Step 2

  Fold the paper in half again, this time from top to bottom. Crease firmly, then unfold.

• 

  Step 3

  Fold in both sides, so they meet at the center crease. Do not unfold.

• 

  Step 4

  Fold the top of the paper down about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) below the middle of the paper.

• 

  Step 5

  Flip the paper over.

• 

  Step 6

  Fold the left side down at a slight angle, as shown. Then fold the right side down at a slight angle. Make sure that both folds match.

• 

  Step 7

  This next part is a little tricky. You are going to make sleeves. Start on the left side. Slide your finger between the short flap and the long flap, so it makes a pocket at the top.

• 

  Step 8

  It should look like this:

• 

  Step 9

  Press the pocket down as you remove your finger. It should flatten into a triangle.

• 

  Step 10

  Now do the same thing on the right side. Slide your finger between the short flap and long flap, so
  that it makes a pocket. Then press the pocket down, so it flattens into a triangle.

• 

  Step 11

  Check your sleeves — they should look the same. If they don’t, adjust them until they are even.

• 

  Step 12

  Now fold back both sleeves along the dotted lines.

• 

  Step 13

  Beautiful!
