- Place the paper on a flat surface.
- Position the paper with the longest side running from the top to bottom.
- Fold the top right corner in to the left side. if you fold it on the other side you will mess up.
- The top of the sheet now shows a point, while the edge of the fold lines up with the left side of the paper.
- Fold the pointed top down to the bottom left corner, keeping it aligned with the left side of the paper.
- Fold the right hand side of the sheet so that the edge aligns with the slanted edge of the previous fold. It should look like a square.
- Fold the square in half, along the two slanted edges, to make a triangular shape.
- Position the paper with the right angle of the triangle pointing up, or away from you.
- Identify the side that has two folded edges not the side with four individual edges.
- Imagine a vertical line (up and down line) dividing the triangle in half, from the point to the base, right down the middle.
- You may want to draw this line in pencil the first couple of times. Use a T-square to make sure the line down the middle is at a right angle to the base of the triangle.
- Fold the “two folded edges” side into this imaginary line, in other words fold it directly to the half-way line of the triangle.
- The fold’s outer edge should be going straight down, perpendicular to the bottom and even extending below the bottom of your triangle.
- Repeat the previous fold two more times, folding the same side over itself again.
- Be careful to line each fold with your imaginary pencil line.
- The claw shape will begin to show.
- Make sure you keep each fold very tight and at the same angle. If the folds start to slant upwards, instead of staying aligned, the claw won’t be as good.
- Hold the claw together by tucking the bottom flap into the end. Now you have a paper claw!
- Open the smaller triangle in the middle of the folds, and stick your finger in there.
- Your finger should not go on the side where you tucked it in, or the other side, but in the middle.
- It may be a tight fit at first, but if you work your finger it will fit.
- The tighter the fit the more likely the claw will stay on your finger.
- Repeat the above steps as many times as you want to create additional claws!
