How to fold
Fold the paper in half horizontally and then vertically, then unfold it. There should be a slight cross-shaped crease in the paper.
Fold the bottom of the paper up to within one centimetre from the top. Then turn the paper over.
Fold the sides of the paper into the middle so they overlap slightly.
Fold the top flaps back on each side to make two right-angled triangles (or lapel shapes). The narrowest points should be at the bottom, in the middle of your creation.
Fold the strip of unfolded paper at the top down and tuck it behind the right-angled triangles. Then turn your creation over. The right-angled triangles should stick out so they look like sleeves.
With scissors, carefully cut down the crease that runs from the centre top to bottom. The cut doesn’t need to be long – just enough to make a hole that looks like the neckline.
Fold the paper either side of the cut down to make a shape that looks like a collar.
