Origami Animals - Origami Pig

This is a fairly straight-forward origami pig and the first part is actually the same as the origami house.

Start off with a square origami paper, color side facing down.

Fold it in half:

Open the paper and you should see a crease in the center:

Now, fold both halves to meet the crease in the center:

Fold the paper in half again, this time from right to left.

Open it back up:

Fold both halves to meet the center crease like so:

Pry open the top left corner:

and press it down to make a triangle:

Repeat the fold for the other 3 corners:

Now, lift up half the right side from the center:

and fold it over:

Make a mountain fold - fold the bottom half (away from you) over to meet the top half:

Bring the left tip over to meet the dash line shown in the picture below:

Do the same for the other side:

Repeat the fold for the right tip, bringing the right tip to meet the crease:

Do the same for the other side:

Make a slight crease on the right side and do a squash fold:
