It only takes 2 pieces of paper and just a little bit of time to create this adorable little thing.

You just need to follow the instructions, step by step, and you will have a unique and original gift in your hands. For a shirtyou need a sheet of paper (8.5 cm x 11 cm) and for a tie you will need a square sheet of paper (5 cm x 5 cm). Dimensions are approximate, depending on the dimensions of the craft, they can be varied, but without violating the aspect ratio.

Making a shirt:

Step 1: Take a sheet of paper and fold it in half, ironing the crease carefully. Then expander back

• Step 2: Fold the left and right edges of the paper toward the center crease to form two flaps.

Step 3: Take the top inside edge of each sash and fold it outwards, creating a "V" shape. These will be the sleeves

Step 4: Flip the paper to the other side and also vertically

Step 5: Take the top edge of the paper and fold it down about 2-2.5 cm. This is the first part of the collar

Step 6: Flip the project back to the other side. Take the top left and right corners and fold them over so that they meet in the center. You now have a collar

Step 7: The shirt is almost done, just fold the bottom edge of the paper (with the "V") up

Step 8: It remains to carefully tuck the bottom edge right under the collar. It's done, now you have a miniature origami shirt! If you do not make a V-fold, then the shirt will turn out sleeveless
