Baby Bunny

This model is supposed to be a baby bunny, but I think it looks more like a slug. It was seven steps and took about five minutes. Scissors were required on this one to separate the ears. I don't like this one much.

Goldfish

This goldfish looks pretty cool. It started with the helmet base and then was ten more steps. It took about twelve minutes.  It required using scissors to cut the bottom of the tail allowing it to be folded back. I like the paper on this one; it just seems to fit.

Twin Sailboats

This piece was another that required scissors. They were only used to cut the standard paper in half to make two triangles. You could easily fold the paper in half to make on sailboat per sheet instead of two. The aesthetic isn't as good as it could be due to the previous days instructions on the back. These two took about seven minutes to make with most of my time on trying to get a straight cut. It was five steps per boat.

Gnashers

This piece was the first in the calendar so far that didn't use origami paper. It was made with regular 8.5x11 inch paper. It was also the first that required the use of scissors. To me, using scissors in origami is cheating. This piece was pretty simple and easy. It was nine steps and took about five minutes. I drew eyes on the paper to make it more life-like. It is a fun piece, and it moves.
