Step 6. Turn the paper over (so the collar is face down) and fold the piece in half

Step 7. With the collar facing up, fold each side (both layers) over to meet the edge of the collar, forming the sleeves

Step 8. Gently open up the top of each sleeve and press it open, forming a triangle

Step 9. Fold the top of the kimono (the bottom of the large triangles) to the back, so the triangles can not be seen from the front
