Is there a more iconic origami animal than the rabbit? The moment you see those two long ears poking up, you know exactly what it is — and that instant recognition is exactly why a well-folded rabbit never fails to delight. You'll spot rabbits peeking out of Easter cards, balancing on top of gift boxes, and starring in storybook dioramas, and once you master the form you'll find yourself sneaking one into almost everything you make.

This complete tutorial takes you all the way from a plain square sheet to a finished, characterful rabbit in thirty photo-illustrated steps. Don't let the number scare you — the folding flows in a calm, logical sequence, and the payoff at the end is a little creature with real personality. Grab your favorite paper and let's bring it to life.
