Begin with a bird base
(upside-down).

1. Rabbit ear both points (the

top layer of the top points and
the thick bottom point).

2. Pull out hidden layer...

 ... like this. Repeat venid.

3. Squash fold. Repeat behind.

4. This is similar to a petal
fold, but a gap is left in the
middle. Repeat behind.

5. Mountain fold (app. 1/3).

Repeat behind.
6. Open out the nose point,
and fold where indicated.
Close back up.
7. Inside-reverse fold the outter two points as
far as they will go. Open the model, bringing
the middle point down (backside-up).
**** There are a couple of problems with Step 8 diagrams:
First, the point behind should not be pointed up. This is the snout and should
already be
rabbit eared and sticking out to the side (behind).
Second, I neglected to diagram the fold which points the front point
downward. This valley
fold should be approximately even with the meeting point of the converging
sides.

8. Valley fold point up (app. 2/3).

9. Swivel fold both sides as indicated
10. Inside-reverse fold both points upward. Adjust the
paper to where it is alligned with the edge of the top point.
11. Valley fold the four
corners where indicated...
... like this. Turn model over.

12. Valley fold both points down

... like this. Close model up
(redo the rabbit ear folds).

***** Please note that the eyes should

already be folded at this point, although
they are not shown. The tabs that are
folded down in this step should tuck in
(somewhat) behind the eyes.

13. Squash fold.

Repeat behind.
14. Valley fold the ear up,
and mountain fold the back
point inside. Repeat behind.
15. Inside-reverse fold the tip of the nose.
Spread the back part of the model.Valley fold
the middle point down and tuck it in the
pocket (between the nose and eyebrow)....
... like this.

16. Pinch the top of the nose, and

squash fold the point downward;
then fold the end up. Pinch nose
flat. Mountain fold the small corner
at the base of the top jaw (repeat
behind), and inside-reverse fold the
bottom tip as indicated.
17. Shape out the nose.
*The reference line should
be red instead of black.
18. Mountain fold as indicated
to shape out the ears.
* The picture below shows
these as valley folds.
19. SHAPE TO TASTE.
