Tear off the February origami sheet.
Carefully cut the sheet into the three separate rectangular sections. Each of these pieces can be folded into a human figure!
Take one rectangle to start with.
Turn it so that the dated side is facing up.

bring the top left corner across and fold diagonally - you should have a triangular flap.
Using its bottom edge as a guide, fold the triangular section down, crease well and unfold.
Fold the bottom edge of the rectangle up to the crease you just created, crease well and unfold.
You will now have a rectangle that is divided into 3 equal squares.

Using its bottom edge as a guide, fold the triangular section down, crease well and unfold.
Fold the bottom edge of the rectangle up to the crease you just created, crease well and unfold.
You will now have a rectangle that is divided into 3 equal squares.
Bring the top edge of your rectangle to meet the bottom of the first square (like you're folding the square in half), crease ONLY the two edges, and unfold. These are your guides for the next step.
Make a diagonal fold going from the top left corner of your rectangle to the crease you just made on the right side. Crease and unfold. This crease should go across the first diagonal crease, a bit hi
Using the point where the two diagonal creases meet as a guide, make a horizontal fold. This will be one third of the top square.
Bring the the crease you just made down to the bottom of the square, and crease. You will have now divided the top square into equal thirds.

Bring the the crease you just made down to the bottom of the square, and crease. You will have now divided the top square into equal thirds.
Using the creases as guides, keep folding each square into thirds.
Your rectangle should now be divided into 9 equal "slices" from top to bottom.
Using your guide crease fron step 10, fold the right side of the rectangle torwards the left, dividing the whole rectangle lengthways by a third.
Repeat on the left, bringing the left edge of the paper to the crease you just made. Your rectangle should now be divided into a grid of squares, 9 squares down and 3 squares across. Write the number of each row (1-9 top to bottom) on the middle square of each row, it will make it easier for you to follow the steps as we go.

On the 4th row of squares, make a diagonal crease across the middle square ONLY.
Make another diagonal crease going across the middle square in the other direction. There should now be an X-shaped crease in the middle square on the 4th row.
Turn the paper over, and make a horizontal fold across the middle of the 4th row, going right through the middle of the X you just made. Crease well and unfold.
Keeping the two side columns of your rectangle at 90-degree angles, push the X-shaped crease in the middle square inwards to create the figure's neck. This step can be a bit challenging, so go slowly and let the creases do the work for you.

Turn your model over - it should look like this from behind.
Next, locate the left square on the 2nd row. Make a diagonal fold inwards.This fold will cause the top left square to fold over the middle.
Mirror this fold on the right side. This fold will cross over the previous fold you made and the top row of squares will be folded over each other.
Fold the top inwards, tucking it into the box-like space that has now been created.

Now we're going to make the arms. Working on the left square of the 5th row, make a diagonal fold going from the bottom left corner of the square to the top right.
Repeat on the right square, mirroring the previous step.
Turn the model over, and fold the top towards you along the crease that runs horizontally across just below the diagonal folds you created in the last two steps, bringing the 5th and 6th rows together
Make matching diagonal folds on the left and right squares of row 6.
Now we're going to make the arms. Working on the left square of the 5th row, make a diagonal fold going from the bottom left corner of the square to the top right.
Repeat on the right square, mirroring the previous step.
Turn the model over, and fold the top towards you along the crease that runs horizontally across just below the diagonal folds you created in the last two steps, bringing the 5th and 6th rows together
Make matching diagonal folds on the left and right squares of row 6.
Fold the arms you just created downwards at the "shoulder" and crease well to keep them in place.
Now we're going to make the legs. On the 8th row, make diagonal folds just like you did for the arms on both sides.
Fold the bottom of the sheet up along the crease that runs horizontally across just below the diagonal folds you just created, bringing the 8th and 9th rows together.
Fold the legs you just created downwards at the "hip" and crease well to keep them in place, and 1st your human figure is complete! Simply repeat the steps with the two remaining rectangles to create a cute set of 3!
