If your paper has 2 colors (one on the front one on the back), start with the robe color (brown) facing up. Since 7 by 5 in (18 by 13 cm) isn’t a standard size for origami paper, buy a larger size and cut it yourself using a ruler.
A pleat is made by making two folds close together, kind of in a zig zag pattern.
To create a lightsaber for your Yoda to hold, grab a second sheet of origami paper and make a zig zag fold over the entire thing. Crease your folds well so the lightsaber holds its shape, then tuck it into Yoda’s arms.
Only make these folds on one side of the paper, not the other. Your paper will look like 1 folded triangle on top of an unfolded triangle at this point.
If you’d like to, you can draw on eyes and a mouth using a permanent marker.
It’s best to use origami paper that is green on one side and brown on the other. You can get this at any craft store.
