Pick any color paper that you’d like! Blue is a popular choice for peacocks, but you could go for red, pink, green, yellow, or any color of the rainbow.

You’ll end up with a triangle-shaped paper that has a sharp point on one end.

It might help to push down on the crease with your fingernail.

It won’t look quite right at this step, so don’t worry—you still have more to do!

This fold will also help your peacock stand up on its own.

When the peacock springs back, you’ll be able to see the animal more clearly.

If your peacock isn’t standing up, try folding the paper in half again to really crease that last fold.
