Origami Among Us Figures

...........................................................There is 1 im-post-it among us............................................................

This is just a simple design I came up with for the heck of it. With the sudden surgence of among us stuff, and it having come out in 2018 (ikr), it only seems fitting that I try my hand at it.

Note: the one I used for demonstrating how to fold came out slightly less sharp in fold than the other one; you can probably tell which one is which.

Good luck, and may your folds be cleaner than mine!

Supplies

use literally ANYTHING besides construction paper for this.

The Base

Start with a crane base and sink fold as shown.

Starting to Take Shape

Fold the front and back exactly in half as shown. Flip sides, but do not repeat this step.

The Visor

Fold the flap facing you so that about 1 quarter of the "pegs" behind it are showing. These will be the legs. Fold the flap you just folded down in half, then curl it into itself until you are satisfied with its size. Fold the top corners behind the visor, then fold as shown around the mask in the last image.

The Backpack

This was the main bit I screwed over in the second model.

Fold the flap on the back up, as with the visor. Squash fold as shown (is this considered a squash fold?), then fold the sides in, similar to the visor. Open the pocket and squash open as shown. Fold the sides in around the backpack, not over the side of the figure. Fold the tip inside so that it lines up with the bottom of the body.

Fold in the top corners of the backpack and the figure's head. GENTLY (and this is where I screwed up) crease the backpack into a box.

Finished

Crease the legs, one forward and one backward, so it can stand, and now there is an imposter among you.
